Today's Sermon Notes:
- It is both a hard-to-hear and easy-to receive reality: we are not in control.
- "Fairness" is both objective and subjective.
- "He knows if your've been bad or good, so be good for goodness' sake." (John Frederick Cook)
- You life your faith because you choose to believe.
Questions

The sermon was great. I just noticed, when looking for something about today's sermon (a week later on Habakkuk2) that there were no comments. Let's right that injustice.
ReplyDeleteHaving "mothered" a minimum of 3 children over the past 32 years I've heard the words, "Life isn't fair." from them and their friends more times than I can count. It wasn't until this sermon series began that I started to see I may have been thinking the same thing at times.
To me, faithful responses to any in the list above have to begin with prayer. I guess they should end that way too. I know, from my personal experience, that prayer in the midst of most bad situations can change courses and lives. So, I'm going with Prayer as the answer. :-)
