None of these sermons are easy, all of them are hard for me. I continually fail, I continually struggle with my flesh. I just want to cry. Yet, I keep getting drawn back to them because they have such depth, such truth, such spiritual reality. It’s much easier to live shallow...to go about our ways and be carefree. But these sermons just won’t let me. They won’t let me go...they continually “haunt” me. I was talking with a friend last week, she is a Pastor’s wife, and we just finished one of these sermon lessons in their small group. She was saying how these teachings have turned her and her hisbamd’s world upside down the last four years....we sat in our ignorance, not knowing better back then. But now we know and life is harder. But what is the alternative? Put a veil over our eyes once again? Surely no! If we were to do that then we wouldn’t get to experience God more fully. Walk with Him in the pain of reality VS walk without Him. Makes me shudder to think that we’d go back to our former view of Him.
