Understanding

I have recently read the book "The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief" by Francis S. Collins. I like his book maybe because he quotes C.S. Lewis.

What I like best is that he presents that science and the bible have to agree. And is part of the following foundation http://biologos.org/

1) If science is based off of logic and I believe God has granted us logic to understand nature and the universe

2) If the bible is based off of divine words spoken to us and recorded

Then they can't disagree just our interpretation of either one. It is almost as though they are two pillars of understanding that both have their foundation in God who granted them to us.

This poses a serious of curious question to me.
Is there other paths of understanding that God has given us to help understand him?

God help us trust in you
God help us to understand you
God speak to us
God lead us

 Psalm 147:4-6 

The Message (MSG)

^2-6 God’s the one who rebuilds Jerusalem,
    who regathers Israel’s scattered exiles.
He heals the heartbroken
    and bandages their wounds.
He counts the stars
    and assigns each a name.
Our Lord is great, with limitless strength;
    we’ll never comprehend what he knows and does.
God puts the fallen on their feet again
    and pushes the wicked into the ditch.

A Time to End

I have wondered when I would be done here but I believe my journey with Working On Progress is complete. This is not to say that progress has been achived but that rather I think God is leading me to a different medium. I am playing around with some names and ideas and I will keep you posted on the progress.

I hope your time here has been as good as mine.

God bless us
God lead us
God help us draw closer to you
God help us to remeber the power of prayer and giving.

God help us focus on you

Where has God been leading me?

I feel God is leading me to a point where I am not hungry for my own pursuits. Whether for knowledge, building something, goals .... I have spent lots in search of useless goals. God understands my limitations. How many times he has to remind me that the world is not controlled by the smart or clever.

God help us trust you
God help us follow you
God help us to know you
God help us to know the facts
We need you
Thank you for what you have offered us

Faith/Trust In?

This week at church we had a bible study of sorts and a coupling things of interest came out.

In some bibles the word for faith has been translated as trust. Who/What do you put your trust in? I think this works really well.

The other thing that came out of it is that how foolishly I can put by trust/faith in myself. Sometimes when I fear or am worried about something at work or home or life I say "well I solved yesterday's problems so I can solve today's" ie. putting trust in my abillities. This is rather foolish of me because the previous day I had put my trust/faith in God. "God I can't do this day with out you, I ask for your help, for your guidance, Help me to listen to you, help me to trust you"

Another thing that came out of the bible study for me is the answer to this series on faith.

We shouldn't put your trust

our self,
others,
our ability to comprehend or understand,
other peoples ability to comprehend or understand
Scientific communities

I believe you should only put your trust/faith in Jesus/God.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, 
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

Others

I know we should not base our faith in God on others. It's tough to do though, and I wonder how many times I base my faith in God on others.


The truth is that we all fail and we can't let our faith fail with other people. I believe it should be based on something more concrete.


God help us to trust in you
God help us to listen to you
God help us to hear you
God lead us
God bless us
