272A Splinter in His Mind

posted by Jeffrey on February 11th, 2007

My friend Rick blogs on his MySpace and has a running series, currently on number nine, of “splinters in his mind”. Here’s a sample:

Splinter VII

Where do you connect with God in your relationship with Him? Where is God when you think of him, talk to him? When he’s communicating to you, where does his communication come from?

A. The sky (heaven, clouds, outer space)…a ’sky God’ of sorts (i.e. like the folks in babylonia demonstrated by building a tower to reach ‘up’ to him or like people do in church services reaching ‘up’ with their hands).

or…

B. Within you (i.e. Jesus comes to live in your heart or the mystery of the gospel is Christ (God) in you, the hope of glory - Col 1:27 & 3:4)?

or…

C. Everywhere and in everything?

or…

D. None of the above (your thoughts)

Splinter VI

How do you reconcile God who can’t look on sin, who’s holiness is repulsed by it

with…

Jesus (God as man) who hung around whores, alchoholics, tax collectors (the greedy), the demon possessed and many other ’sinners’?

Splinter V:

A sermon given to a million people.

A cup of water given to a thirsty person.

Which has a greater impact in the kingdom of God?

Again, there’s several more splinters to hash out there as well. Look for more splinters in the mind of Rick (and everyone else on the face of the planet) at his MySpace blog.
