Who is your God

Who is your God? Is He in complete control? Scripture tells us that God's will (sovereign will) will cannot be changed, that it will be completely fulfilled (Daniel 4:35). So if God's will will be done and that He is in full control. Does this challenge our attitudes and our worry warts? If God is in control why do we worry and why do we "woe is me"? Is God not in control and His will will be done no matter what.
    This is something that I had in class a week or so ago and some other circumstances have challenged this in my life. But every time I want to worry or I want to complain to my mind the truth is recalled about who God is. So if you are worrying or you are having the woe is me attitude who is your God. Is He in control and will His will be accomplished. Or, is your god weak and inept? Is your god of your own designs?

Need for today

This week I have attended Bible Conference @ Bob Jones University where I heard powerful and pertinent preaching. But alas have we not had powerful preaching before? What are we lacking then to effect change in us which will spread throughout all true Christianity and the world? The answer is Practical Theology, simply the practical application of the doctrine we are taught. This all seems so high and out of reach but for a few to attain but really the key basis to Practical Theology is simple obedience. However, because of our sinful flesh obedience is not at all really simple within us wars our sinful desires in rebellion to Holy God versus the Holy Spirit. The question remaining is who will you let win?
