Comments on: The Manuscript is Complete! http://theyomen.com/2007/09/21/the-manuscript-is-complete/ Reflection on ancient and contemporary worship and literature.

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 04:38:04 +0000 http://theyomen.com/?p=57#comment-445 AOH (not sure who this is :) ) I am sure that as you read the next chapter about lament psalms you will see the type of "relational" faith you are looking for. As the book pertains to worship I chose to emphasize more the honest nature of faith as opposed to other elements like faith's certainty or "force" as you say. I am glad that you are enjoying it so far. I look forward to hearing more reactions as you get more into the book. AOH (not sure who this is :) )
I am sure that as you read the next chapter about lament psalms you will see the type of “relational” faith you are looking for. As the book pertains to worship I chose to emphasize more the honest nature of faith as opposed to other elements like faith’s certainty or “force” as you say. I am glad that you are enjoying it so far. I look forward to hearing more reactions as you get more into the book.

You quote Job : though he slay me yet will I hope in him" yet it continues Never the less I will argue my way before Him -Isaiah 43: Plead your case with God and somewhere Jesus says ..the Kingdom of God is taken by forceful men.. So, as a cave man is forever painting on his cave his spiritual experiences, trying to work faith out: I see the the choice is between providential faith that accepts what is given and relational faith that: argues a case, keeps a confession before our high Priest and can perhaps fail. I expect the later is richer in the end for walking this route AOH Dear Adam
I am enjoying your book, and so far wouldn’t change any content
Thinking about faith and your story correctly identifing misguided faith with the dyslexic guy at boot camp – However..
- Mark 11 24 .. all things for which you pray believe that you have recieved them and they will be granted to you..
-1 John 5 14: ..if we ask anyting according to his will he hears us..
You quote Job : though he slay me yet will I hope in him” yet it continues Never the less I will argue my way before Him
-Isaiah 43: Plead your case with God
and somewhere Jesus says ..the Kingdom of God is taken by forceful men..

So, as a cave man is forever painting on his cave his spiritual experiences, trying to work faith out: I see the the choice is between providential faith that accepts what is given and relational faith that:
argues a case,
keeps a confession before our high Priest and can perhaps fail.
I expect the later is richer in the end for walking this route

AOH

The seminary should have my address, but make sure it's the right one, 'cause we moved in August (if you want to be sure, the street name is Maple). If you can't get it from the school, let me know and I'll e-mail you - I just don't have e-mail open right now. Yo, dude – I want one!

I know it can be a burden to read an entire book so I am not sending copies out to everyone I know, only those who ask for it. I love getting my work out for critique, and I can't wait to hear feedback from you who have one, but don't expect the UPS guy to bring you one until you've contacted me about it.

Yes please, I know you knew that but... Also, your Mom wants one. And she wasn't just being polite. Your Dad makes the hugest portions of waffles and icecream I have ever seen. My kids thought it was Christmas! Hey! Yes please, I know you knew that but…
