RotH! The Return of the Hilary!
I've returned!!!! BUAHAHA!
From what?
Absolutely nothing!!!
I just was lazy and didn't bother updating my precious blogsy.
. . .
Life's really good right now. i have a special-est special friend of special-ness (you all know who) and life couldn't be more clearer. I'm going to Highland Park, Detroit for a missions trip in 7 days and I am SO EXCITED! w00t! I love War Week. This year, we're going to a juvinile detention prison, of course, in the 2nd most dangerous place in the U.S. LoL. So PRAY FOR OUR TEAM'S SAFETY! August 2-7th!
Zachy's leavin' for Idaho while I'm gone and I won't get to see him for 3 weeks
:( but on Wednesday, we're spending the entire day together, most likely, before I leave!! Aw, he's so sweet!
Yesterday I went to a Chris Tomlin concert (RawR, he's is amazing!) and it was awesome! So awesome, I don't even have the engery to describe it, so go on my Xanga because I described it earlier. Zach was so nice to take me!
Anyway, I hope everyone's summer is going fantastico! It is a great feeling knowing that you are right with God and how much He blesses you if you are.
Oh I have an inquiry!!! For IDT (Intense Descipleship Training) for my church, we have to answer these questions based on books we have to read in our tracks. Well, in my track, Creative Expressions in Worship, I am reading Imagine by Steve Turner, and The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer. During the questions today, there was this one question I answered, but I wasn't sure if I answred it well enough. Here it is:
What is the difference between Christianity as philosophy, and Christianity as a spiritual relationship?
It's almost as if this statement is a similie or metaphor to those type of people who know God and Christianity exist but fail to do anything about it and those who really are Christians and do more than declare it. Having spiritual relationship unites you and makes you one with God. It brings you to that upper level, that inner circle. It clears up all misunderstanding and answers questions deeper. Christianity as a philosophy answers questions, yes. It even brings you to the turning point of deciding to have a spiritual relationship or not. The fact is not that the philosophy is worse than having a relationship; it is the belief of the philosophy that chooses how deep in Christianity you want to be. You can believe it if you want to, but only the decision will take you where you want to be. You can learn the philosophy or you can know it and believe it so much that you are willing to give your whole life for it.
. . .
Yea, it's kinda long, but will it be suffice enough to fully answer the question?
Well, I'll let you decide, right now I am leaving.
