"...if anyone makes the assistance of grace depend on the humility or obedience of man and does not agree that it is a gift of grace itself that we are obedient and humble, he contradicts the Apostle who says, "What have you that you did not receive?" (1 Cor. 4:7), and, "But by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Cor. 15:10). (Council of Orange: Canon 6)

Way to go, Mr. Ratliff! I read the majority of his series on his blog when it was first being posted. Very good stuff - I recommend that you all read it.

Thanks Albert. I was as much surprised about this as you. :-)

Dear Mr. RatliffI recently read your material Judge not and was very dissapointed when in ch. 14 you made mention of a brother Lawrence and practicing the prescence of God.What is there to practice? My Lord is omnipresent,the Holy Spirit makes His dwelling place in every born-again believer.This sounds like new age mistycal practices that have no place in Biblical Christianity!

Linda,

Sorry for taking so long to reply. If you read c14 carefully you will notice that all of my referenced to Brother Lawrence were in reference to a letter he wrote explaining the role of suffering in the life of believers. It has nothing at all to do with mysticism. Practicing the presence of God is just another way of referring to being Spirit-led or Spirit-filled. Are you denying that Christians can either be Spirit-filled or not?

In Christ
