Alright so it has been an unbelievably long time since I have posted anything. The reason is that work has been busy and I only use the Internet at work.
God has been unbelievably gracious to me. Not that this is not normal but He has granted me a greater awareness of it this week. He has reminded me that I cannot do anything without Him and has granted me a fresh dependence upon His Spirit working in and through me to accomplish what He wills. I am excited and trust that this work will continue.
I have been asked to write about what it looks like to walk around “poor in spirit”. I am no expert but this is what I believe after reading Scripture and praying. Being poor in spirit means that you realize that you are utterly hopless without Christ and that you would deny Him if He did not sustain you every second of every day. Nothing good dwells in you except the Spirit of Christ. It is realizing who you are and having your dependence be wholly on God.
Last but not least I have a question for everyone. I am not looking for a fight and have been dwelling on this for two days now. I want your comments and I will comment in a few days.
I read an article that talked about how the christians in a town in Iraq have decided that they will take up arms and defend themselves against persecution.
Is this okay? Please give me your thoughts. I also would ask that you not give me your personal opinion. I would like responses that are well thought out with Scripture. Thank you very much. I look forward to hearing from everyone.
The Sweet Life
