Faith vs. Common Sense

Thursday, 14 August 2008 02:49 by Charles

Every time you venture out in the life of faith, you will find something in your common-sense circumstances that flatly contradicts your faith.  Common sense is not faith, and faith is not common sense. They stand in the relation of the natural and the spiritual.  Can you venture heroically on Jesus Christ’s statements when the facts of your common-sense life shout – “It’s a lie.”  On the mount it is easy to say – “Oh, yes, I believe God can do it” but you have to come down into the demon-possessed valley and meet with the facts that laugh ironically at the whole of your mount of transfiguration belief.  Faith must be tested, because it can be turned into a personal possession only through conflict.” –Oswald Chambers

 

FOTP Grapevine is an act of faith.  I am so thankful for the many people who have come down of the mount to engage in this endeavor and say  - “Oh, yes, I believe God can do it.
