Description: (hide)
Mark Schindler, reflecting on Michael Abraschoff's book, It's Your Ship , suggests that just as a captain of a ship wants decision makers, not just order takers, God expects members of His family to be decision makers. We cannot follow the example of Satan, who used his free moral agency to succumb to pride and vanity, totally corrupting himself. This horrible decision has brought untold suffering and pain on this earth. We, as God's chosen people, must reciprocally use our free moral agency, guided by God's Holy Spirit, to choose to follow God's thinking processes, choosing life rather than death, following the spirit, as well as the letter, of the law. If we are making the right spirit-led decisions, we can expect harmonious relationships within the Body of Christ. God has given us the perfect environment (within the Body of Christ) to make the right decisions. We have to remember that we are the crew on God's Ship, with Christ as the Captain.
