Fasting, Weddings, and Wineskins
Feel free to ask a question or make a comment.
We worship little things by default and rarely realize it. It is killing us because it is never enough. It never really satisfies. But how can it? Our hearts were made for God alone. He is the only end worth seeking.

If only i had heard this sermon while i still saw the bible as gods absolute truthful word. Nihilism was my worldview prior to belief ,and looking back it appears now that all i ever did was take jesus and attach him to a nihilistic worldview. I also never saw myself as one who “worshiped” anything , i saw myself as indifferent to most things which others strive for. Money , appearance etc etc. But oblivious to myself then, looking back now, is how i saw my intellect as that which defined me. I said it didnt , but my words and deeds said otherwise. It was what made me me , it was what made me different from others , it was what made me valuable. NOT that i was a chosen one of the most high. Quiet and sneaky is how this ailment ruined me , yet looking back how obvious it must have been to others. Hmmm , funny it is , even now struggling with the the authenticity of scripture and the benevolence of god how much wisdom i find in christian theology. (which doesnt change anything). Being in limbo , no longer absolute biblical christian yet not willing to fall back into complete nihilism.
I do have one question though , for anyone willing to give an answer. Can a real faith of substance more than just intellectual conceptions be halted by intellectual objections? This question i honestly have no idea the answer. Redundant in some ways i feel the question to be , but still ,i would like to know it from the side of the fence i no longer see.
