Talking Really Late in Moe's is a Gift from God

After Oasis tonight a few of us from Church went to Moe's. It was great fellowship and it ended in a nice time of talking about God's sovereignty vs. Free will...For those of you who know anything about me may know I grew up in the Methodist church and honestly up until last year I called myself a Methodist. Now the problem is that I had NO idea what that meant.

This summer I read a bunch and began to flesh out some ideas about what I believed. This caused some radical changes in my life. It has pretty much changed the type of seminary I'll be going to, and it definitely changed the way I feel about salvation etc...

Anyway, it's amazing how often I feel one way about things so strongly for so long and then God completely flips my perspective. Sure, I complain about it but his answer is always a very loving, "Deal with it...I'm God and you aren't..." That's the hard part. I get so wrapped up in the way I think God should work and I completely ignore the way the Bible says He works...Why am I so stubborn? These past few months I've just felt God telling me, "Just calm down man, I got this!" The problem is I want to be in control of myself. However, when I REALLY think about it...I think the God of the Universe has a better grip on what is best for me than I do..

In Christ,
Josh Mc.
