Joe Carter has a foolproof prescription for changing your mind and worldview in 2010.
Dare you to try it. Dare you.
here is a hint of background:
One day I ventured to ask him how he had become possessed of the experience, when he replied, “By reading the epistle to the Ephesians.” I was surprised, for I had read it without such results, and therefore asked him to explain the manner of his reading, when he related the following: He had gone into the country to spend the Sabbath with his family on one occasion, taking with him a pocket copy of Ephesians, and in the afternoon, going out into the woods and lying down under a tree, he began to read it; he read it through at a single reading, and finding his interest aroused, read it through again in the same way, and, his interest increasing, again and again. I think he added that he read it some twelve or fifteen times, “and when I arose to go into the house,” said he, “I was in possession of Ephesians, or better yet, it was in possession of me, and I had been ‘lifted up to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus‚’ in an experimental sense in which that had not been true in me before, and will never cease to be true in me again.”
Ok, I’ll take that dare! You?? Read thru 2 John 5 times this morning. Think I’m gonna have to finally deal with that word “elect” this year…been putting it off as long as I could, and lo and behold it’s in the first book I choose to read! LOL
