I Wonder

I wonder...and sometimes it is okay to wonder. I wonder if when most of Revelation has come to pass and we are living in the Millennial Kingdom, if the kids born in there will still be reading the Bible that we read, or if they will just listen to our stories (and Jesus himself, right) to know all that has happened. 

I wonder how in the world children born in the Millennial Kingdom can meet Jesus and still chose not to accept the free gift offered to them. I mean, I am shocked when people hear the gospel message in today's day and they still reject the gospel. How much more guts it would take after meeting Jesus. People today make excuses like "You can't know God is real." But the kids in those days will NOT be able to say that- they will have MET Him!  

I wonder what was meant by the phrase "The angel of the church of...". I wonder if this means that every present-day church has an angel assigned to it. I wonder what happens when a church falls apart. I wonder what happens to the angels when two churches merge together if that is really something that happens. I wonder what is the point of angels if they were assigned something like that. For example, are angels assigned to protect the building kind of like guardian angels watch humans? Then, that leads to a different discussion. 

I wonder about guardian angels. Are guardian angels real? What do they actually do? Is it not God's job to protect us, not angels? 

I wonder about the time. What was I thinking or doing before I was conceived? Why did God choose to put me in the family He did (not complaining, just curious)? What does it feel like to not be alive anymore? 

There is so much I wonder about- some things that can be answered by the Bible and some things that God has left for us to not understand while we live here on earth. We need to trust God through the process, understand that there are some things we will never know, and never give up. Wondering is okay, as long as it does not lead to conclusions that are not based on biblical truths.

Extremes

My friend and I were talking towards the beginning of May, and we both came to the same conclusion- it seems that in almost all circumstances, Satan works in the extremes. Let me elaborate on some specific examples. Eight extremes, so four topics, have been brought to my attention on this matter. Yet, I know that there are probably unlimited more examples.   Politics:  Christians even seem to think that if you are not one party, or you are another party from them, you can't be saved. For example, it seems that most Christians think that the Republican party is the correct party. Some even claim "If Jesus was here [in the flesh] on earth, he would be a Republican." or "Democrats [because right now these are the two extremes in politics in America] cannot be saved because everything that the Democrats stand for goes against the Bible!" The biggest problem with those statements is that they are putting politics to the extremes. There is nothing perfect about the De...

In My Weakness

I am a missionary teacher. I have been for about a year now. I am moving to a new school this year where I will be working with new students that I will need to get to know. New school policies that might not match what I have gotten used to. New staff, bosses, and co-workers that will have new personalities compared to who I have worked with in the past. There will be many more stories that life lesson to share in the future, I am sure. But, today I wanted to focus in on something that God has been teaching me. He has been reminding me that in my weakness, He is strong.  As a missionary teacher, I am reaching out to other churches and individuals to see if they could support me financially (as my position is not paid) and if they could pray for me. This has led to amazing opportunities of encouragement for both parties as we are able to share together in the life that God has given us to use for His glory. It also has allowed me to get more comfortable talking to a group of adults...

How to Disagree Well

Recently, I attended a seminar that talked about how to disagree well. This does not mean how to make your case. This does not mean how to allow people to step all over you either, though. This seminar helped paint the clear picture that how you chose to respond to the speaker and your presuppositions coming into the 'argument' both play a big part in how you will choose to 'argue' with the 'opponent'. Here is what I got from it:  It's important to understand that our culture and family of origin affect why we have our beliefs, instead of just the Bible.  -Do you want to be right, or do you want to influence and be influenced? Do you want to be right or be happy?  -Can you see the bigger picture? There is always a greater narrative. If you can see that, you can learn to disagree well.  -Do you value the person with whom you are interacting with? "To live well with others before God." -Vanhooser. We need to live well with people and get along as muc...
