CONNECTING WITH GOD THROUGH OUR UNIQUE SPIRITUAL TEMPERAMENT
Thursday, August 17, 2017
1Corinthians chapters 12
& 13
In writing WHAT’S
YOUR GOD LANGUAGE Dr. Myra Perrine invested considerable study and thought. She
contends that external (denominations) and internal (self in local
congregation) are not necessarily completely the result of doctrinal
differences, but could be due to individual or group spiritual temperaments.
Having sat before Pastor Bob Myers as he touched on such matters I was prepped
for the reading and further thought.
Perrine points
out the importance of knowing self to better connect with knowing and
worshiping God. A matter readily realized by us when we consider how and where
we feel connected or not connected to God. Please consider Dr. Perrine’s spiritual
temperament definitions. As a helpful exercise in my notes I jotted church’s
and/or individual’s names next to each one.

do not already do so, know thyself as never before and gain maturation in your
relationship with God and man.
