I am really happy for my best friend Jon. He has been diligently writing his books on faith and has started a new blog at www.jesusians.org This is an excerpt from his latest post entitled John 1:13.
The interesting part of this meditation, to me, is how it would modify our view of who does what in regard to a precious soul brought to life. Genesis seems to teach that all children are a result of God’s planning. Isaac was a supernatural intervention from God. Sarah was barren and the prototype for a women of God. She was the first in a long line of barren women. God opened Leah’s womb. Rachel was barren. Samuel’s mother was barren. People were begatting all over the place, but it wasn’t so easy for God’s chosen line of humanity. It feels like God decided who would have what child and when. This is a far cry from the will of the flesh or the will of man. This is the will of God.Jon has a lot of interesting ideas and unique viewpoints that are worth listening to. I am glad that he is willing to put his thoughts out into the marketplace of ideas and I hope that people can engage in a discussion which will result in lives being saved and those that are already saved to connect deeper with the heart of God.
Amen.
