Over the last little while, mostly today, I have been thinking we need to be deeper in our faith as Christians. I was in faith and learning, a class at my school, after my group did a presentation on Mormons (it was a skit where me and a fellow mormon tried to convert three girls to the mormon faith). My teacher said something that was really interesting. He said after my group was done, that we did a good job at persuading to the mormon faith because we hit on mostly emotional and testimonial evidence. He then challenged the class by asking how our own testimonies were better then that of the mormons, or of any other religion for that matter. I really couldn't think of a valid argument off the top of my head. Of course, after about two minutes of thinking I had thought of somethings. But, I knew I needed to have answers to questions like that at the ready. I'm reading a book for F&L as well called Love The Lord With All Your Mind by J.P. Moreland. In the book he talks about using your mind to believe in God. Not just feelings and all that flowery stuff. Real christian living comes out of understanding God and seeking him not just how you feel. Interesting thoughts that made me think all day. I want to encourage you, if you want to be encouraged, to be a christian that seeks understanding and knowledge of God daily while we love those around us as Christ loved them.
