Amen. I couldn’t have given any intellectually satisfying answers about the how’s and why’s of the gospel when I started believing. I just knew that Jesus was good and good for me. I trusted that the answers would eventually fall into place.

Good thought for those who over analyze and take it to the extreme! I would offer some balance, mainly that it is an exercise of wisdom to use caution, competent judgment, and just good sense!

Thanks for the thought… a good one!

If I could’ve learned this 20 years ago, I would’ve avoided a lot of grief!
