Some good stuff here! My brother has been on here as well and I have passed some of these articles around. Love the articles.
Some quick comments on this article as you know I love talking about this stuff from when we hung out 🙂
First, loved your statement on truth as there is such a thing as truth and a difference between truth and fact. God divided the light from darkness but never divided light. People divide light and therein is the major problem…Division. Misled salvation is a good example (Acts 15). Notice in Acts 15 how much care, communication, debate, and guiding it took among the leadership to take the division out. If you read through a couple times you can see just how much work it took for one small misled interpretation of salvation. It’s pretty interesting and from what I have read one of the very first attempts by the devil to divide the church but haven’t read more after that yet.
Second, the statement on “what distinguishes you as a Christian” is a pretty good one and i have always been of the belief to take it a step further and ask this question in the church the world over. I want to see a show of hands if people even think they are saved or not in the church. Let’s see a show of hands! is that wrong to ask? Anyway, I was always taught from the word that since life is spiritual people do see the word that you are living and the christ in you whether they know the depth of it or not. My parents have had people down the street from them come to their door and ask them if they are believers in God because they have seen with their own eyes so many things that my parents have been blessed with that has manifested over and over. Note I Thess 1:6 (And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord,) I like how the following started with the “us” first and then the Lord. And these were people who used to worship idols!
Third, love the section you discuss on I Corinthians 13:1-3 on Agape love. The one thing that i think is a good conversation and maybe over a beer 🙂 is the “service” of Martyrdom initiated by man as God wants living sacrifices, not dead ones. Unless Thusia in Romans 12:1 is not metaphorical? and meant to be taken literal?
A.W. Tozers comment you mention is really great!
