“The will of God is not about getting right, it’s about getting sane.” 2 Timothy 1:7-For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a “sound mind”. Another word for the word “sound” is “sane”. So the opposite of sane is insane. So outside of Christ creating in us a “sane” mind.... we are all, to one degree or another, insane.
Haven't been able to verify it yet in any "dictionary" or in any "research", but years ago I heard a thought-provoking comment over a pulpit about the word "apostasy". The comment was to the effect of "the definition of 'apostasy' is 'insanity'. Interesting.
Great teaching, all of these "seeking God" heresies were invented early by the Roman controlled church to justify the priesthood and disempower believers by putting a man between us and God again.
Hello Brother Andrew: Puzzle: Proverbs 3:5 TRUST in the Lord with ALL your heart, and LEAN NOT UNTO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. In ALL your ways acknowledge HIM, and HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS. Psalm 37:23: The STEPS of a righteous man are ordered (guided) by the Lord. Then in Luke 4:10 It is written, he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee, 11) . . . lest you dash your foot against a stone. Question: At what point during a Christian's earthly life does God relax and hold himself back from micro-managing a believer's daily affairs?
Proverbs 3:5 trust in his Words and don’t lean on your own interpretations of his Word. Our understanding can be biased according to feelings and emotions. Psalm 37:23 Pastor Andrew talks about how God will guide us by wisdom and increase our discernment. However, he does not force us to make decisions, ultimately we have free will. It may be easier to put it into the perspective of not having God in our life at all, we’d lack much wisdom and discernment. Not sure why you included Luke
Another simple beautiful teaching
Amen. So good God bless you pastor Andrew
So liberating from "dead works". Tired of trying to be perfect and failing. Thank you Jesus for finishing the work on the Cross.
Wow
Awesome message brother! Thank you. Peace and grace..

In general I agree but I don't think that should be taken literally. Of course you're not gonna be directed by every single choice you make.
