Ammenment to previous post: I said the writer did not offer an answer. I was wrong. He did cite faith as the answer. I agree that faith is the answer... but faith in God and not our own ability to summon up faith by "paying the price". The writer said "We can...if we are willing..". I could'nt disagree more. "God willing", it seems to me, is far and away the most appropriate way to phrase it. Christianity is not a "pick yourself up by your bootstraps" religion. John |

John Yes but we are commanded to seek. I think that is the willing part. It is not hard to be willing it is hard to be committed. If we sit back and say God will handle it we become nothing more that spectators, relationship requires participation. EdB |

Hi Ed, I'm with Augustine, in saying, command what You will and grant what you command. Augustine, as you know, felt that apart from grace we could not do what God commands. I may be willing but unable to obey. God might call me to preach in Saudi Arabia, but, if He does not supply the means for me to do so, I'm not even going to be able to get out of my chair! Zech 4:6,7 Then he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel saying, 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts. 'What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of "Grace, grace to it!""' He could have said the same thing to John or Ed. John |

John I have met many like you they sit around and do nothing because God hasn't tela-ported them. I really feel bad for you. EdB |
