Recently in the past month, God has taught me several lessons especially in the past two weeks. I thought I would share some of them for the benefit of others and to testify of the active working of God among us who believe. These aren’t profound lessons, but they are real, incarnate lessons that I’m learning with real situations in the past weeks.
- God calls us to live in wisdom, that is, to make wise choices and do them. This is in contrast to living as I feel, want, or desire though these emotions are a part of living in wisdom.
- God really does give wisdom to those who ask Him. (James 1)
- Manhood requires commitment and decision even when that calling doesn’t make sense in the outcome.
- Covenant love is better than lust, but requires devotion to Christ alone and commitment to pursue Christ supremely.
- God has called me to the kingdom of God and the local church not a specific ministry or movement (i.e. SGM, Acts 29 Network, SBC)
- I love the gospel and those who likewise love the gospel (i.e. SGM, Acts 29 Network, Gospel Coalition)
- No matter what I must pursuit Christ first and supremely; anything else is idolatry.
