vain philosophies and other mental...Welcome back! <br /><br /><em>vain philosophies and other mental futilities ... must be rejected and left behind as we draw nearer to Him who loves us</em><br /><br />Why is it that so many people refuse to reject the old when God is trying to show them the new? Christianity is supposed to change us from "glory to glory," and yet so many cling to their understanding from decades ago, not acknowledging that God reveals Himself to us in bits and pieces as we are able to bear it?<br /><br /><em>I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.</em> (John 16:12-13)<br /><br />Out with the old man that causes us so many problems. In with the new, that looks more like Jesus every day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
