I'm Lovin' It

No this blog has nothing to do with McDonald's. What I am talking about is the Christian life and the journey. The past couple of days all I have done is talk about God and things of God. There have been many conversation in the past few days about certain issues here and there, which lead to a couple of guys hanging out at J.R.'s house last night talking about some of these things. I loved it. I love talking about the things of God, so yesterday when J.R. asked me to come over and talk about theology, church, and stuff I got really excited. I prayed yesterday morning that I was really confused about a lot of things because so many people had different views. At the end of last night I felt like I was less confused about these things. Not saying God answered my questions but that He got me in the right direction. The funny part is that I thought God was going to answer my questions but instead made me realize that some of these things that were discussed aren't as big as we are making them and that there are bigger issues like the fact that there are lost people out there that need us to stop arguing with each other and start witnessing to them. Is there really a reason why God didn't put a lot of detail on how to live the Christian life? I think that there is. I am not sure what that reason is but I have a few thoughts:

1. God is not about rules and regulations, He wants us to live for Him. If there was a lot of detail then people would do just those things and then say that they have done what is required. God wants us to give all for him and sacrifice, not follow rules like almost every ohter religion.

2. Also with detail there leaves no room for faith and pushes a lot towards legalisms.

3. There are different situitations for different people and God deals with people at different times in there lives.

I am not saying God did not put things in the Bible that He is displeased with and that are guidelines like in 1 John, James, and etc. cause He did put these things in there but there are gray areas that I think sometimes we as Christians dwell over to much. Like I said I think there is a reason God did not put detail in the Bible pertaining to these areas. We may never know what these reasons are.
