We do not yet understand in full, so if I only obey what I understand then the implications are that I only have a partial obedience too!<BR/><BR/>The renewal of the mind is not achieved by intellectual endeavour, but though a walk of obedience to the Spirit.<BR/><BR/>But solid food is for the mature, who <B>by constant use</B> have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

So often I haven't heard the old addages and so I don't immediately understand where people are coming from when they're struggling. This is really helpful.<BR/><BR/>What would you say in this regard to someone who quoted to you that we are to be "transformed by the renewing of our minds"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9405828.post-48138346419731067022007-07-09T14:15:00.000+01:002007-07-09T14:15:00.000+01:00Superb Chris!

It was brilliant in the sense it was inspired, but it wasn't a technique employed to create well-received instruction. For that to occur (and it's debatable that it ever did before Pentecost) the give and take of a close relationship with the disciples was necessary.SLWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260137021205685080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9405828.post-91710514083117726792007-07-09T13:52:00.000+01:002007-07-09T13:52:00.000+01:00Absolutely Chris: as Mary said to the servents at ...Absolutely Chris: as Mary said to the servents at the wedding in Cana, "whatever he says to you, do it." <BR/><BR/>I have learnt the most profound laws of the Spirit by doing first and then seeing the results in my life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
