When we read these earlier writers, it is so obvious that all of their lives were saturated by God's word and direction. I've been trying to discern between what was cultural and what is directed by God's word. We live in a post-60s, post-feminist time and likely were reared with the fuzzy middle-class mores. How do we get outside of this mindset and really see what God demands of us?
BTW, the recommendation on another thread for Mr. Henry Scudder's "The Christian's Daily Walk" has been very helpful, but at the same time, raised even more of these questions for me. |
Absolutely we are to respond to and discuss these devotionals brother. I believe that discussion of these help us in our sanctification and daily walk. I share your concern as well with the worldly mindset of todays christianity that affects us all to some degree. It seems that many are afraid of the word "holiness" this day and time and equate the mention of it as "legalism".
