Walking by Faith or Sight?Posted : 6 Apr, 2011 05:37 AMI think it depends on where the focus of your heart is and what in particular is being studied. We're supposed to be all about Jesus 24/7 and that includes both study of the Scriptures themselves and study of His character through prayer and meditation. Obviously, there must be a balance there; the Christian life involves far more than just sticking your nose in the Bible. I think it would be fair to say that if someone is just trying to acquire head knowledge, or if they have legalistic motives, that they may be studying too much. If someone is genuinely seeking the Lord and His wisdom, then study away =) On the flipside, "faith" ought not be used as an excuse for staying on a diet of milk and never investing the time necessary to grow spiritually. I've heard many a lazy person say that they're just "having faith." |

Walking by Faith or Sight?Posted : 6 Apr, 2011 07:36 AMWalking by sight is walking in the flesh, governed by the five physical senses and the mind, this is why Romans 12:1 and two reads as it does. The new man, the inward man in union with Jesus is to keep the body under, in subjection to him as well as his mind, if one will notice, you the new man in Christ is to renew his mind, that he the inward man might prove the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. Renewing of the mind is a continual process as long as we are on the earth with will need to renew our mind to the word of God. |

Walking by Faith or Sight?Posted : 6 Apr, 2011 10:01 AMRemember PJ, logic relies on reality, not the mind. You are focused on man's logic(mind). I'm speaking about a reality. God exists, therefore He doesn't not exist. But where I know that or not(mind), doesn't change the reality(logic) of it. |
