COMPUTATION

 COMPUTATION

  Romans [MKJV] 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what is that good and pleasing and perfect will of God. 

  2Peter 1:2-4 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, according as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and virtue, through which He has given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, so that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 

  One of my enjoyable coworkers, for me but not all others, quietly listened to discussions on the many topics examined in our workgroup. Then he would contribute, sometimes pointing out “That does not compute.” This resulting in further consideration, discussion, debate cool to heated – the dynamic sometimes going on for days with more contributions of info and perspective. The workshop scrutiny making for informal collegial education of persons and issues.

  One of the benefits was that few in that group were “granite heads”, most being individuals allowing considerations.

  For consideration this morning I offer a “does not compute” work place this side of heaven 2Peter 1:2 issue: When Christians claim belief in God’s Word, why then do they go elsewhere, relying on other then the sufficiency of the Word?
