It seems that the more I study and learn about the mysteries of God, the more questions I find. Although I am all too familiar with this fact, I still seek knowledge and answers. It seems that this particular paradox works for me in my life.
There are a couple concepts that have come up in my studies (and in PU meetings) that have me asking questions...
- What can I do to act as part of 'the body'? The most obvious answer is to pray, but as I read through Romans 12, there are many gifts that Paul mentions (teaching, prophecy, giving, exhortation, etc.) that I imagine are specifics, but also examples. In other words, there are many things I can do (I assume) that don't fit these descriptions... right?
- What is a 'burden'? This is a phrase that I have heard use, and I have used myself many times. However, I don't know if I really know what it means. Maybe the definition I use for 'burden' is actually something else... Any thoughts?
