The Divine Nature Problem

Now, speaking of the Sermon Audio app, It was two, three, four o'clock this morning.

I was looking at the sermon audio app and I saw a message entitled Seven Indispensable Qualities.

I think it's of the Christian life.

I think, hang on, let me look it up.

I don't want to give you the wrong title.

I want to make sure I'm very...

I want to make sure I'm very accurate here.

I want to make sure I'm very accurate.

I'm going to go here.

Yeah, seven indispensable qualities of the Christian life, part one.

Seven indispensable qualities of the Christian life, part one.

And when I thought, well, that should be interesting.

I need to know what the seven indispensable qualities are.

Do I have any of those qualities? Am I missing any of those qualities? How do I obtain these qualities? Inquiring minds want to know.

Isn't that a dated reference? That's kind of outdated.

I kind of throw that out.

Okay, but...

I wanted to know what these seven indispensable qualities were.

Now, it's three or four in the morning, so I didn't have a notebook, but I'm like, I'm going to listen and I'm going to remember all.

I didn't realize it was part one at the time.

I'm going to listen and I'm going to memorize these seven indispensable qualities of the Christian life.

And then I can examine my life to see, do I have the seven? But most importantly, how do I obtain them? Is it something I must do or is it something God gives me? So I had all kinds of questions and I hit play and immediately I was like, oh my goodness.

This is no longer about the seven indispensable qualities of the Christian life.

This is about a passage of scripture that I struggle with greatly.

And it goes against, if you've listened to my earlier message today, and if anyone knows me, you know that I'm very, very, very, I guess you could call me a cessationist on crack, but I don't believe God is leading and speaking to us.
