It's as if we are saying, "God you know me–I will do anything you want …except that one thing. …I am only human"…No, we are not only human….God lives in us, and greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. If we can't be faithful in the "small things" that he tells us to do, how can we expect God to keep talking with us? God is not in the business of mak- ing small talk. If we ignore God when we read in His word that we are to for- give our brother, or if we continue to judge our neighbor, shall God contin- ue to enjoy conversation with us? The Bible teaches us that If we have any- thing against our brother, God will not hear our prayers. I believe God. God wants us to make it right with our brother; then God will hear us again. This is not a hobby…God loves his children, yes. But don't we all want our Father to look upon us and say, "Well done, my good and faithful child."? I do. I want dialogue with my Dad in heaven. I want a daily cama- raderie with my Father; I want to go about doing His will on this earth. It begins with believing God, and then, if you believe, do what he says. Don't pick and choose which instructions from the Lord are important and which are not. They are written on your heart. Make no provision for any rebellion against the Word of the Living God. Swearing once in a while, a white lie, a partial truth, anger against a sister or brother, judgment against (even) the ones that Satan used to terrorize you, pride–nail these to the cross. Forgive. Ask God to forgive you for judging your enemies, pray for your enemies…. Begin again. Every word that comes from the Father is worthy of our believing and obeying. Believe God. If you truly believe God, obedi- ence will follow. That is your fruit, your confirmation. God speaks to us with the written word–the Bible. God speaks to us through the lead- ing of the Holy Spirit. God has His ways written on our heart so that we do not sin against Him. God is not lim- ited in the ways that He chooses to speak with us…but we need to embrace His words to us with enthusiasm. God tells us to call that friend, visit that neighbor to pray for our enemies. God tells us to cast our cares on him and not judge others. We are instruct- ed to have no other Gods above Him–like our children, our mates, our passions, our hobbies, our sports, our will, our (you fill in___). Or do we think we are so busy in this life that we don't really have the time to spend with God? Let it not be. Believe God, walk in his ways, and learn His truth. If we are not obeying God, we are not really believing Him. If we believe a rain storm is coming, we bring an umbrella. We are prompted to action by our belief that it will rain. If we WE HAVE POTENTIAL FOR CHANGE Lama Chuck Stanford, Rime Center & Monastery, Kansas City, Mo.: The extent to which nature or nurture influences man's behavior is a question that has been debat- ed as far back as the ancient Greeks. Aristotle postulated that at birth our minds are "tabula rasa," which translated means blank slates. However, modern science has proven that certain genes are responsible for at least a predisposition to certain behav- iors. So it is clear that one's actions can't be attributed total- ly to either cause, but in fact must be a combination of the two. As Buddhists, we believe in karma and re-birth — that our subtle consciousness is conditioned by the habitual pat- terns and emotional tendencies from countless numbers of lifetimes. If you factor in nature, nurture and karma, you can see that our minds are influenced by a countless number of factors. On the other hand, Buddhists also believe that our minds are infinitely malleable and, therefore, we have the potential for change. Change or redemption is always possible, regardless of how bad one's behavior may be. Linda Irish GodTalk believe the gas gauge on the car when it shows near empty, we go straight to the gas station. If a woman believes that she is pregnant, she begins to turn down that glass of wine and to eat well. The fruit of our believing spurs us into action. So, in other words, the believing, or the faith, brings about obedient action. That is the fruit of faith–action. In pondering all this, when you wonder why you may not hear the voice of God, consider these things: Are you believing God? Look for the fruit to pro- vide confirmation–does your action (obedience) confirm this? That is the confirmation that you believing God. That is your fruit. When you begin to look forward to obeying God whenever the opportuni- ty arises…and exercise this at every opportunity…before long you will begin to hear His voice clearly. Because who are the children of God? They are the children of the promise, the ones who believe God and this faith is accounted to them as right- eousness. Linda Marie Irish is an enthusiastic student of the Holy Spirit and the author of It's A God Thing...My Sheep Hear My Voice (2nd Edition) soon to be available through Amazon. With her friend, Brenda Ballentine, she is the co-founder of the Tehama County ministry 3 Women With a Mission. Is environment to blame for people who turn out bad? SOME YIELD TO BAD INFLUENCE Pastor Emeritus Raymond Davis Jr., Greater Corinthi- an Church of the Christ, Kansas City: There is an atmos- pheric condition in all human principalities that has direct bearing on environments that cause bad conduct. A biblical text heightens our awareness to this fact of nature. The text speaks about people who are subject to bad conduct, yielding to their emotions, becoming "chil- dren of disobedience" ... "According to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience." (Ephesians 2:2) Bad conduct is a given in any human society. Some people yield to bad influence. Some people live with a death wish; human apathy is enlarged in them. A great number of people live with an "I don't care atti- tude." They have been given a bad image to match their conduct. They have perfectly become "children of dis- obedience." They fail to overcome bad cultural image and the spirit of disobedience. Having strength of character is the shield against bad conduct.
