This weekend we continued our series, Grey Matter (a series about the complicated issues we face in life). My husband preached a great message on dumb dichotomies. The message was called, He's big enough for both.
He started out with a definition of dichotomy: a division into two mutually exclusive, opposed, or contradictory groups.
He told us that there are some divine dichotomies in scripture... -worshipping one God or many gods (1 Kings 18:21) -serving God or money (Matt 6:24) -the spirit and the flesh (Gal 5:16)
The rest of his message he went on to explain, Sometimes, God draws a line, other times we draw a line when God is big enough for both.
Here are some dumb dichotomies we create that God never intended us to make... -Grace AND Truth (Jn 1:14) -Make plans OR Trust God (Prov16:9) -God's Sovereignty OR Man's Free Will (Eph 2:10) -Honor God OR Honor People (Rom12:10) -GIve money away OR Enjoy God's blessings (Prov 3:9)
What a great message! It is so encouraging to know that God is big enough for both! You can listen to the message today at our website, the Elevation Network and our podcast.
