Another remind...Challenging and stimulating, Mike. Another reminder for how easy it is to accept our traditions as "gospel" when they blatantly contradict the revealed purposes of God in His Word. <br /><br />David Platt in "Radical" indicates one assumption we American Christians (including me) easily make (unrecognized I believe) is that the affluence which sometimes accompanies faith is for our enjoyment rather than out stewardship."<br /><br />One of the challenges a couple of decades ago to my own life in various ways was entering into the lives of believers in the former Soviet Union. They didn't assume ease and comfort, but rather hardship and suffering. They weren't disappointed. And the Gospel was growing.<br /><br />I personally enjoy a comfortable life....chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631165961382647198noreply@blogger.com
