Haven't been praying or reading the bible

[HeIsRisen2018]

I did that today and to be honest I feel a little different. I don't know what it is.

You don't know what the verse means or you don't understand your emotions?

 

[Tessa]

Great news Brock. It used to work for me

I'm just saying it felt weird to read the bible again.

Oh, okay. Now I understand.

The kingdom of God cometh not with observation, neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Brock's soul being in danger here. Psalm 119 is our Rx!
Also meditating on John 3:14; if you want to pick just one verse, that's a goodun'. The thought concludes by v 21.

What?

 

[Brock]

Explain to me how my soul is in danger.

That depends what you mean about his soul being in danger since works aren't what saves us and brings us our salvation. However, without prayer and reading and abiding by the Word of God, it is in danger of getting further away from Him.

Explain to me how my soul is in danger.

I have lived on this planet probably over 3x as long as you have, and of that time I've been trying to follow the Lord for probably two of your lifetimes. I'm simply telling you how it works.

There is no end to various authors trying to describe this phenomenon, and you've already experienced it for yourself, saying it felt weird to read the Bible again. That "weirdness" is the process of Salvation!

Either we are conformed to this world, (a very bad thing for the Christian) or we transform into a new creation by renewing our minds. Romans 12 makes this excruciatingly clear, and you apparently forgot.

We do that!

We also have an enemy that likes to go around plucking the good seed out of us before it ever has a chance to grow.

We are all vulnerable when we neglect so great a Salvation ...

No its not. It just felt weird because I haven't read it in months and it brought back memories.

I ran from it for about 6 years. Then I got disciplined. NOT FUN.
Also, if you knew the bible, you would know that it talks about it being an important thing to read and why.
