I'm learning more about the way I truly view life as each day passes. I think I've been stuck for a while in the realm of Christian thought that for some reason seems best suited to stay wrapped up, in all of its complexities, as an idea. That form of Christian thinking is so hard to live out because it isn't practical. Faith is a complex issue, especially Christian faith. There are some amazing concepts that a person truly has to wrestle with and accept. But is it really as hard as we make it? If we are supposed to have the faith of a child, then why do we make our grown-up faith so difficult? What use is it to a person trying to live for Christ if they can win the battle of truly knowing theology and every nuance of the Bible, but when tested, can't do what it says? Our pursuits to know God shouldn't be taken hostage by our minds; almost like the tool God has given us to know Him is sometimes betraying its purpose by leading us around in theological circles and vain pursuits purely for knowledge about God. It is my hope that the more I know about God, the more I will truly encounter Him. My challenge is this: Are my studies hindering or helping? Am I living out what I strive to learn? Am I like Jesus?
