There
are many errors that are too common within the the evangelical church,
wrong-headed ideas that are blemishes and wrinkles on the Bride.
Some are understandable, and others just plain silly. Few skate
closer to the edge of blasphemy than this nugget drawn from the pages
of gestalt therapy. God, we are told, is far more interested in
our honesty than our decorum. If you are angry at God, God will
get angry at you if you don’t let Him know, in no uncertain terms, that
you are angry at Him. God, we are told, is a big boy, and He can
take it. Better still that’s what He actually wants from
you. So, if you’re having a bad day, a bad week, or a bad six
months, shake your fist at the sky until you and God both feel
better. This sounds reasonable enough, if you have already
accepted accepted the premise that God’s chief end is to glorify man
and ensure his joy forever.
When the Bible tells us that God will not be mocked, such is
a two edged sword. It does indeed
remind us that if you are mad at God, you won’t be able to pull the wool over
His eyes by smiling real sweet. If your
goal is to flatter your way past Him, there is no point in hiding from Him your
anger, disappointment, impatience, and rage.
If however, your goal is to avoid provoking His anger, disappointment,
impatience and rage, there is a point in not parading your anger in front of
Him. In fact, the beginning of our call
to be “patient” with God is to repent of our impatience with God. Yes, do admit your anger, and then plead
that He would forgive you of it, and cleanse you from it. In short, neither honesty nor dishonesty
will cover your anger at God. Only
Christ and His blood can do that.

from an article by R.C. Sproul Jr., (Tabletalk Magazine, September 2004)
This
from a man who considers his family mightily blessed in the last six
months: two miscarriages; their
daughter, who is mentally retarded, having more serious seizures than before;
his wife being diagnosed with breast cancer last New Year’s Eve; loved ones
lost to death or broken relationships–some friendships floundering on the
rocks of grievous sin, and others simply “because I made people mad with the
things I’ve taught”; assorted financial hits and “my chickens won’t lay.” And to him, “as great as all this news is, better
still is that God is patient with me.”

my mum cut my hair for me.=) it looks good. i never would normally ask mom to cut my hair, but i let her and i had faith and it came out good too. it was fun. i had a great time being daring. =) hope your day is well and healthy. ha-ha. =)
i want to have faith like that man.
wow, that’s incredible. I don’t know that I’ve ever had that good of an attitude toward anything.
Thanks for your prayer, and no I did not go to a chiropractor, I went to an orthopedic and he said that the reason my backbone hurts is because all of the muscles that attach to it are really weak and sore. I don’t know why, he said it’s probably almost entirely due to stress knots. Anyways, that’s that I guess and all I can do is exercise and pray! God will heal me!!
