Free Gas for Your Think Tank — Short Reflections, Lasting Encouragement

Beyond theology and religious methodology there is the wondrous experience of continually being in awe-inspiring, intimate interaction with the living, resurrected Jesus. That experience is the normal Christian life that is presented in the New Testament.   An old hymn puts it this way: “And He walks with me and He talks with me and He tells me I am His own, and the joy we share as as we tarry there, none other has ever known.”

Is that experience the norm for Christians in the 21st century? In your life? If not why? Perhaps it is because we overthink and under-trust-and-obey.
