Used Together?
I learned again today that I have really been out of it. I have no idea how many times I have heard, listened to, or discussed two words in the many years I have been going to church; and today, I have to start looking at them differently.
How many of you find yourself in the same boat? OK, I guess I should say where I am coming from. Do you all remember the primary, Sunday school, young men, young women, or family home evening lesson where the instructor tries to help you understand what a covenant is? They tell you that it is like a promise, but different. But how? That always seems to be the case. Most of the time, the student or teacher walks out feeling like they have a good grasp or maybe did a good job getting the point across. I know I have found myself in that boat.
So, you continue to look at the screen and say, "Dad, what are you talking about?"
What happens when you do something by covenant and promise?
Now, I have to really start thinking. These two things have to be clearly defined. One must understand the differences and how they both apply to the same thing. I can't just use one to help define the other. It is like baptism and confirmation. They go hand in hand with their own individual purpose. My question is how does that happen?
I am going to try this again. I want your feedback. You can just go to the blogspot and comment. I have opened it up. You don't need to have a password anymore. What do you understand about the two? How are they different? How are they similar? How does one apply them in the same sentence? What are your thoughts, feelings, and understandings?
