The greatest stumbling block of the comfortable church is a lukewarm interest in knowing God.
That’s it.
That’s my story.
I used to think that success was climbing to the top of something, or being the best at something. Now I think success is learning to put things in their proper order with God first. This means taking him seriously and doing what he calls us to do.
My life has been a series of events and discoveries that, over decades of time, turned my view of life and reality upside down and inside out.
I used to not believe in the existence of God. Now I can’t believe the world and everything else came into existence for no particular reason and by pure chance.
Used to think I was special compared to others. Now I believe everything I have, all the skills and talents are pure gifts. Besides, if God had not given me my life in the first place someone else would be speaking in my place, and I’m sure he would do a fine job.
Life is not deserved.
Life is a gift.
Ben..life is a gift directly from God...all that we have and are is from Him...and I know you know this as I do...we are blessed!!!
Speak as eloquently as you write and all will be good.
