A seven day inquiry into the multiple levels by which the will of God is revealed in our lives.
Welcome to a week of study and prayer that may change your life!
Understanding the Will of God is one of the great mysteries of the Christian faith. This difficulty is apparent by the word "unknowable," which is used throughout Scripture in connection with "the Almighty." How can we possibly grasp that which is by nature unknowable?
Yet at the same time, God commands us to "search" diligently to find wisdom, and to know him. What we have before us, then, is the attempt to know and understand something that we never will fully be capable of knowing.
I am writing this as an open letter to a few select individuals who are dear to my life and heart. I hope and pray that anyone else into whose hands it chances to come may find it interesting, and may in some way benefit from it.
All my life I have been what is loosely called "evangelical" in my general outlook and spiritual perspective. As such, in order to breathe freely in my spirit and keep my brain and heart thriving and growing, I have found it necessary to re-think many of the doctrinal particulars of belief in which I was raised.
What follows is not an autobiography by any means of that journey. It is rather an attempt to place my sojourn into a wider context, and to explain this "necessity" I have felt to explore Christian thought beyond the boundaries of the teaching I received at various stages of my life.
