How
do people today show disdain for God's word? Do you honor it? How so?
(Serendipity Bible 10th anniversary edition page 1114).
Love
and all its disciplines and manifestations can be significant
irritants to those inordinately self-determined and self-willed. To
them life is a zero-sum game. Mutuality from this point of view is
only cynical accommodation and kindness a similar ploy. Such a
mindset is antithetical to God's purpose of love and peace. Disdain
thereby is shown for God's word. Do I honor God's word?--sometimes.
Sometimes the reptilian legacy of the mind reacts with and expresses
domination and power instincts. It is such times that I remember
hymns of faith, such as “Sweet Hour of Prayer” in attempts to set
aside anger and a bent for retaliation.
