Pastor John,
Whew! Enjoyed this article: “Self-will: The Door to Insanity” .
This excerpt – wow!
“Self-will is the way that humans conjure up demons from their place of damnation to come inhabit a new home, a human one.”
To understand that “self-will”, which is rebelliousness, is to practice the “sin of divination”, is a profound thought, Pastor John.
The will of God for us is a safe place. It is a place (the only place) that He created for us that is free from such things.
But I love most of all the simple answer that you gave us for this, and whatever else we stumble at: “Stay happy and free, and just do the simple, sweet will of God in Christ Jesus.”
Only the Truth is simple. And I’m noticing as I go along, all other conversation that is edifying, is simply had to get us back there.
Thank you for this.
Jerry
