The Jesus peace that passes understanding is when things are not working out yet, but you are still radiant and smiling. Only Jesus can give you that. It doesn't make sense. Because it is not supposed to. It makes faith. Dear Christian, if you mind those 'common sense' practitioners, you are on your own. God will not always make sense. God doesn't always make sense. God doesn't have to make sense to you if you believe. When you start applying sense to the things of the spirit, you start walking in carnality, in your own wisdom, in your own natural abilities. You start backsliding. Backsliding doesn't necessarily come because of sin. But unbelief. So, dear Christian, be bold in your 'foolishness' Let them craft fine grammar. Let them call you names. Let them insult your generation. The bible says, be not deceived, God is not mocked. Nor can His children. Nor should they.

Backsliding doesn't necessarily come because of sin. But
unbelief.
So, dear Christian, be bold in your 'foolishness'

You don't convince people with something they don't believe inThe only way of derailing a train from its track is if something greater than the force of the train hits its track.
Stop trying to convince Atheist with quotations from the bible they don't believe in.

Yea.

sense and faith are not antagonistic, it is sensible to have faith, to believe the world has a creator. I don't think it's really necessary to separate them.
