Did God forget how to do the Impossible?

This weekend has been a really good break. I am kind of dreading and eagerly anticipating next week. I am going to be working 66 hours at Sears Call center and I have never really had regular job like this before or worked that much so I hope that I can handle it all right. I went to church today in Regina and my parents and my friend's parents became members. It's cool, it's almost too bad that it had to come to that, I'm not talking specifically but in general. Why couldn't people just genuinely repent and be saved and have leaders that spend so much time in the word that all heretics get ignored because everybody knows the word so well that deceit is right away seen for what it is. I love meeting people who are so spirit-led that they choose a course of action that makes no sense to those around them but a few months later it seems so obvious that what they did was right. George Fox and St.Patrick are two people that really convict me, just reading about their lives.

The thing that God has been showing me lately though is that, so many times I use reading as an excuse from action. I read christian books or websites and think that I am growing, and I am growing but if I spent all this time in prayer and the word of God instead life would be so different. But at the same time never before have I just rested in the grace of God as much, I feel no condemnation from him. As we trust and surrender to God I think he will take care of the important things. We just need to stay surrendered and look to be led by his spirit. I will end with a quote I read from this site fuegodedios.com it is so true. This guy actually came and spoke at FIRE and my roommate lived in his community for about 7 years. have a great end to the weekend everyone! Encourage one another daily.

Why do we not speak with that same simplicity, that same urgency and that same absoluteness? I believe it is because we do not believe it as absolutely as Paul did, nor do we live as if we believe it. We are simply not occupied with the things that are eternal, and therefore we are unable to persuade men. We need to press mankind to come to terms with eternity even though they will accuse us of being dogmatic, narrow-minded and intolerant, and yet that will be enough to intimidate many of us to silence. There is nothing more embarrassing and intimidating to the modern Christian than to be considered narrow and dogmatic. It did not, however, intimidate Paul. Eternity is not a narrow concept. The world needs to be disturbed by people who cannot contain themselves, who are beyond the issue of taste, politeness and good manners, who burn with the reality of eternity and who take every opportunity to express the things that are Divine.

Our absoluteness is the very height of offence to a world that is relativistic and pluralistic. They do not want to be told that there is anything that is absolute, that there are only two alternatives, but they need to be told, not by people who bring [only] the correct doctrine but by those who come with a burning conviction. Do we really believe that God has fixed a Day in which He will judge the world in righteousness? Our apostolic task is to bring an unwanted and unwelcome message to an indifferent world, and it is a message we can only bring in the same proportion that we can demonstrate it. It is not enough to be 'correct'. We have to come to them, as it were, from the eternal place."
