What happens when sight, emotion, past experience and human reasoning form a theological committee - and decide that nothing is going to change?
In Episode Five of The New Man, we explore why your senses are helpful reporters but terrible theologians. Through Elisha’s servant in 2 Kings 6, Abraham’s faith in Romans 4 and Paul’s teaching in 2 Corinthians 4, discover how to acknowledge what you see, feel and remember without allowing it to issue the final verdict over your life.
Faith is not denying the facts or manufacturing a more positive reality. It is allowing God’s eternal Word to interpret temporary conditions. The army may be real, but it is not the only reality present. Your feelings may be intense, but they do not define you. Your history may explain where you have been, but it cannot prophesy where God is taking you.
Faith does not see less. Faith sees more.
