Now That You Know These Things... by Don Campbell
The best argument against Christianity is….
This is all an intellectual exercise.
We love to study, argue and debate things that really don’t matter and at the end of the day, we are no different than people who aren’t Christians.
This blank canvas = my life
Paint Supplies = learning/knowledge
1. Paint for Non-Painters (apply with fingers)
2. Paint for Professionals (born a painter)
3. The Latest Technologically advanced paint (internet only)
4. Grandma’s Paint (60 years….good enough for her…)
5. Special Paint – few people will ever find this paint….it is “the one true paint”…MOTPC - members of the paint club
Problem
At the end of years of study of swatches and techniques and colors and gathering all these materials…..the canvas still looks the same.
What has it made it from the CAN to the CANVAS?
“We want to hear more….”
Talking and listening is ALL they did. This is us. If all we do is gather knowledge, then this is us. Very few accepted Jesus because it wasn’t about Jesus, it was about information. Today, this attitude sounds like this: "I just want to go deeper."
It is easier to LEARN something new rather than to APPLY what I already know.
Today this Athenian attitude my sound like this: "I just want to be fed." People do it because it is easier to be fed than to feed yourself
It is easier to LEARN something new than to make yourself APPLY what you know already.
There is no power in the paint
If knowledge doesn’t change me, I gain nothing.
Please understand, I am against EVER LEARNING but NEVER DOING.
The Power is in the Application
Jesus modeled the application first, then He talked about it.
You want to be blessed?
Don’t just talk about it.
DO IT.
LIVE IT.
