Faith Vs Preparedness

 Question:

Am I to have faith or prepare? Isn’t it my responsibility to prepare as a parent?


Answer:

We have faith but we still need to prepare as part of our responsibility, but it is about the attitude. We are not preparing out of fear but out of responsibility.


Also, when it comes to contradicting values or scriptures, it depends on the situation. Sometimes, God asks us to have faith, but sometimes He gives us a warning (I.e. to Joseph, to run from Herod with baby Jesus.) so it depends on your situation. And this is the same with a lot of God’s word. When you find it contradicting, you have to know which applies to your situation — you have to hear from God yourself. That’s why we do our devotion every morning. God will tell us how to prepare for the day, week, season, etc. He will give us a verse from the Bible so we know which situation we are in.

Romans 8:26 "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." What probably should have been done is to first share with you the main reason for baptism. John 1:4-5 "John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, ...

Proverbs for the ministry

There is no glamour in full time ministry - it's all hard work, labour and toil and I love it. Ministry is when people use you, mock you, make fun of you, spit at you, push you around and hate you - that is true ministry.
