(>26,000 and really, more than 5 in one place is too many for me!) so am out of commission until the weekend. I'll be back to read and think more deeply when I get to come home to good old Chicago!Halfmom, AKA, Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03545176965972986964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11766469.post-20917429878327313842007-11-04T14:42:00.000-06:002007-11-04T14:42:00.000-06:00'While it gives meaning to my struggle against sin...'While it gives meaning to my struggle against sin, it is far more about God’s pursuit of me and my need to see who I am....' you got it right there, girl! it's what i've been assimilating, too.... maybe in different ways than you, but all pointing and boiling down to this.... seeing God as the ultimate lover of our souls....bluemountainmamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04297693762079368522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11766469.post-64807856078942120752007-11-03T21:47:00.000-05:002007-11-03T21:47:00.000-05:00Susan, stopping in to see what you are up to!

Glad to hear you dip into these wellsprings.(Star Trek fan too!)<BR><BR>I like what you have to say about God pursuing us, I think we tend to forget what kind of Father we have and how the grains of sand cannot outnumber his thoughts of us.<BR><BR>Thanks for sharing.

And that in this, we find that our hearts are being changed as we're being transformed by the renewing of our minds, etc.<BR><BR>But it's sobering how this process is not automatic. God is ever faithful, but this all occurs in the context of relationship with God, with ourselves, with each other and with the world.<BR><BR>This salvation is holistic in reference to all these relationsihps and has to be seen with reference to them. <BR><BR>But David's sin with Bathsheba is a case in point of failure and breakdown in sin in which all these relationships really take a beating- and are in need of God's present tense salvation.Ted M.

I think I do...Susan,<BR>Thanks for sharing all of that. <BR><BR>I think I do the same, with the added note that I do critique, and deem some things I hear, yes even from Christian leaders (and read) as not that good, or not that solid when it comes to comparison with Scripture. Of course I have no doubt you do the same. I do try to stay more open to being mistaken in that, but we have to keep going back to the word to see if what these people are saying is really the best way to put it according to what we find in the whole of Scripture, in the Story of God there.<BR><BR>Your fourth, next to the last paragraph reminds me of my post today on present tense salvation.<BR><BR>It is interesting to wonder how we process what comes at us from all angles, because even the trash that comes to us from the world, probably has some truth somewhere in it, even though most often twisted.Ted M.
