That is exactly what happened, God refined me and made beauty from the ashes, though the suffering was great, I knew and trusted Him for an even greater loss to come. Be blessed.

Why?<br /><br />In Baptist theology, your Justification and your Sanctification---your essence as a follower of Christ...if you boil it all down...is really dependent on you and your feelings. <br /><br />Do I feel saved? Do I feel I really repented in my born again experience? Do I feel that I truly had faith when I made a decision for Christ; when I prayed a version of the Sinner's Prayer? If I am really saved, why do I feel at times that my faith is so weak? Maybe I need to do the born again experience again; maybe I need to pray the Sinner's Prayer again, just to be 100% sure that I am saved. I want to know without any doubt that I am saved, and if I do not feel saved, I begin to doubt my salvation.<br /><br />Baptist/evangelical theology tells me that I will always feel Christ's presence and strength inside me, if I am a true believer. But what if I don't feel him there sometimes? If it is true that I should always be able to hear God speak to me, in an inner voice or feel his inner presence move me/lead me to do his will, what is going on when I don't hear anything or feel anything? Have I committed some unknown sin and he is refusing to hear me? Or is the reason that I don't hear or feel him present within me... is because I'm not really saved!<br /><br />I was so incredibly happy to find orthodox (confessional) Lutheranism and find out that my feelings have nothing to do with my Justification, my salvation, nor with my Sanctification, my walk with my Savior and Lord! My salvation was accomplished 100% by God. <br /><br />http://www.lutherwasnotbornagain.com/2013/09/tired-of-baptistevangelical-roller.html<br />Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02519721717265344702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820006275088382320.post-76816220499233091882013-03-12T20:31:52.682-07:002013-03-12T20:31:52.682-07:00Congrats on your win!Congrats on your win!Theresa Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11031442079199906571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820006275088382320.post-4231606135408407972013-02-03T06:00:38.797-08:002013-02-03T06:00:38.797-08:00Really a great list and great reminder Susan.

So many people are affected by the addiction behaviors that are rampant in our society, and not just the addicts themselves but their families suffer. I love that you included the whole Serenity prayer. It was an eye opener when I read it for the first time. I included it in my book The Call as well.

I confess, I don't always do that. I let life get in the way. But I have experienced it on many occasions, and YES! God speaks. Does he speak audibly to some? Why not? He's spoken to me through lightening, why not his own voice? Although, I'd really rather not have God speak to me in his own voice, audibly, while I'm on Earth. I prayed long and hard as a child for that to not happen, and also that God wouldn't let me see angels,because that would all be just to frightening for me. :) Bless you for the reminder to stop and be still.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04059640359410312826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820006275088382320.post-227037245197489762012-06-24T04:42:02.076-07:002012-06-24T04:42:02.076-07:00A great reminder to us all to listen and not just ...A great reminder to us all to listen and not just with our ears... thanks Susan!Lynne Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788918458763274157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820006275088382320.post-80002293126137491312012-05-22T20:43:13.346-07:002012-05-22T20:43:13.346-07:00Thanks for sharing Susan!

I...Oh Susan, The tire cover! That cracked me up! <br /><br />I so relate to what you've said. I had big plans for what I would accomplish this summer, until I suffered a concussion. I couldn't drive, read, write, garden, go for a walk... I was under house arrest, so to speak, and forced to be still. At first I focused on what I couldn't do and was frustrated most of the time.<br /><br />When I finally gave up the fight, I started seeing that God wanted to give me something. He was giving me room to just rest in Him. To be still and to know that He is God. <br /><br />I loved how you expressed this, Susan.
