Just talked to my 38 year old lawyer/state wrestling champ son -- on the
phone. He is presenting a song and a lesson to one of the Unity Churches in
Seattle, this weekend.
He is not a professional speaker although he is very much a professional type guy. He has titled his lesson "Man's failure and God success." It is so good to be able to talk to him about something of substance in relation to this lesson he is considering.
I pointed him to Col 1:19-23 and encouraged him to see that we are not pure,
blameless and above reproach because of what we do -- ever. Just can't or
will not be that consistent. (I have yet to meet the man or woman who proves this understanding to be wrong.) But we are holy, blameless and above reproach IN Christ -- a truth that carries water only because of our position in Christ. I mean, that is what the text says. I contrasted that with what many fundies believe -- that the disciple is saved from hell fire rather than being saved from all that comes his way, the work of the Accuser, to tie him to failure and disappointment.
I believe that many are as talented as some, the difference being that the
talent is closer to the top , for some ................ others having to work
harder. At the end of the day, success is as great for the many as for the
some, it just didn't come as easy. Anyway, it will be interesting to see just
what he says . The good thing about this is that it gives me an opportunity to talk to him about the truine God and all that He has accomplished in Christ.
