Now I know why there were so many rules and unspoken taboos in church. Because we are too young to handle freedoms and responsibilities and stay clean, pure and “untainted by the world” at the same time. As I went to BCM last year I was taken aback at how many rules there were to the point I almost find it ridiculous. I concluded that it was submission to authority that was the point but no… I now believe it is being as Romans 13:14 said, “make(ing) no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts”.
Tonight was an eye opener for me.. as I see people make poor choices in their conduct and being wise in their own eyes, shedding responsibility for their own action and blaming it time and again on their circumstance (“They dowan to talk to me first!” “You try living my life!” “But he should have…”). This kinda thing from more than one person.
I struggle to think and comment about this it because on the flip side would be judging them without love. I then thought what could we possibly do for them? Nothing. Haha.. really nothing other than to pray and wait for the LORD to work in their lives.
Lastly, I finally concede that what we need is not understanding of the word but obedience. To be servants and not masters of the word.
