(Christianity Today, September 16, 1991, p. 48, from George Barna, The Barna Report: What Americans Believe, 1991.)

The Holy Spirit will teach us what the Bible says. We simply need to have the faith to listen. When you say, “I can’t understand that.” Then you are saying, “God cannot fulfill his scriptures”. Since when are we more intelligent than God? 1 Cor 1:25 tells us that the “foolishness of God is wiser than men”. Why are some limiting God’s power? God has all the answers, we simply need to seek them and allow the Holy Spirit to teach us.
