Solutions - Day 10 - Necessary
November 22, 2006
From all the readings today (See Solutions
for readings), I am confronted with the conclusion that all valid
premises lead to necessities. We MUST respond to a presentation of truth either
to refute it, comply with it, or ignore it. From Moses' sermon in Deuteronomy,
the necessity is to be faithful to the covenant and show great care in the area
of obedience to God. In Philippians, Paul tells his friends that the must go on
living for their benefit and for God's purposes even though he would welcome a
fast track to heaven. In II Corinthians 9:5 Paul sensed to do what was
necessary to enable the Corinthians o give generously. In Acts 1:21 it was
necessary to appoint new leadership in the church.
Some things we do because we want to; some things because it is convenient;
others because they are imperative. What I MUST do today is disc over what I
MUST do ... and then, do it.
