[guestpost]This is a guest-post from my friend Nate Curry.[/guestpost]
This post is merely something to get the 21st century believer thinking about or re-thinking his or her beliefs on the topic of God’s Spiritual gifts. Being the technology guru that I am I see a major correlation between technology and the way God communicates to us.
A. W. Tozer said, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”
Our worship of God comes from our understanding of who He is. And where does our understanding come from? From spending time absorbing what He has told us about Himself: absorbing Scripture. Absorbing—not merely reading. We need God’s Word inside us!
Here are my favorite principles of logic and reasoning, collected from Leonard Peikoff’s Objectivism: the Philosophy of Ayn Rand.
While these do stand on their own, they become most useful if you study them individually and in depth. For that, I recommend Peikoff’s book.
I want to tell you about a passage in Scripture that has really impacted me.
2 Chronicles 12:14 says, “He did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the LORD.”
It’s a choice to set your heart on the Lord.
“Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
Was he right to say this? Thomas didn’t tell us his epistemology. We don’t even know his attitude as he said those words. I suspect he was trembling, not indignant.
Was Thomas being reasonable? It seems ambiguous.
