Stumbling Blocks
A Lack of Knowledge
Description:... This book is a Christian guide on how we should set up our governing body as God would have us. Just imagine God instructing us on all interpersonal relationships. Well, we have an example in the Old Testament. God was giving ancient Israel the ideal example on how we should govern ourselves. Too many people dismiss these instructions as outmoded. Jesus would do it differently they say. It was Christ that established the law. It was the pre-incarnate Jesus that was with Israel in the wilderness (see 1 Corinthians 10:4). Christ talked to Abraham from the burning bush (see John 8:58) calling himself "I Am." Jesus refers himself as the Word of God (Greek logos). The gospel of John, chapter 1, tells us that Christ was speaking for God at creation. Some say: if Jesus were the lawgiver, he must have changed. But Hebrews 13:8 tells us that he does not change. Think about it and read this book.
The modern Proverbs, in the back of the book, are called "Instructions to the Wise." The old Proverbs tell us that the wise will hear instructions and seek council (see Proverbs 1:2-5). The Holy Spirit gave me these instructions while I was working in the mission field. These modern Proverbs should help us get over the language barriers. Hopefully, they will give you a more modern perspective of God's mind.
