KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:
"Living stones", ala 1Pe 2:5, are another picture of the supernatural, and how we are NOTHING, even dead as a stone, without God's help!
“Conscience”: it is the point at which a person confronts God’s holiness.
By grace, His Spirit convicts our conscience of the Word, AND how and when to apply it in our lives!
Running Away from God – blog 9/20/24
People who don’t embrace God will force a distance between themselves and Him, often as expeditiously as possible. God’s power scares them because it renders them impotent.
…
There are two responses to the fear that God strikes in everyone; submission to Him in humility or fleeing from Him in arrogance.
By grace, God convicts the conscience of every person, whether they accept that conviction or not.
The point is, as evangelists, we must hold fast to the confidence that there's truly no such thing as an atheist. We must hold fast to the Truth; that deep down they KNOW there's a God above, even if they say differently. Rom 1:18-32
How God brings all things together through so many twists and turns of human history is perfectly miraculous.
The Bible is truly incomparable, and it captures all the excitement that is God as we read through its pages.
By faith, we must each look to our Conductor, humbly playing our part in His plan. By faith, we must each play our instrument, using our spiritual gifts, in love.
