What do we know?

There are a whole lot of folks out there, calling themselves ordained to preach God's words. Many takes a sentence or phrase from the scripture and propagate an entire theology around same. In so doing, the claim, to know God and speak for him. They attest to his unchangeble character and thus, condemn many who otherwise would have come humbly to Christ. I have taken the position that we are each akin to one of the six blind men positioned around an Elephant (God) and asked to define what an Elephant is. In that Indian story, each man defined the elephant based on his experience from touching that little part of the Elephant he was exposed to. So is our understanding of God as well. We only know that little part that has been revealed to us and as such should be very careful in then objectively defining god based on this.

FAITH AND WISDOM

So the big question is, when do we apply wisdom and when do we shift gear to faith. I will attempt an answer, one that is not scriptural but entirely what I am guarded by. I would apply wisdom in any area of life where human efforts can change outcomes and apply faith where it can't. Basically I am saying I will resort to self-help where it works and shift to faith where it won't. Now I speak for myself and not for faith leaders.

“Unbelievable” In Minthukundi

The names here. Minthukundi, Karijini, sounds African and there could well be a good connection between the aborigines of Australia and our African ancestors. The journey from Auski Village brought us fully round the Karijini park, visiting some very beautiful and well preserved natural formations. Looking at the rocks, layers upon layers, it needs no telling that Earth has endured for generations before us.

Hell on earth and proud of it

Arriving Marble Bar, the city will not hold its silence as being the warmest city in Australia. One of the six signs welcoming visitors to the town says "Warmest Welcome From Australia's Hottest Town." It was as if there is joy to be classified as the most hellish place on heart because of its souring temperature. The town set a world record of most consecutive days of 100 °F (37.8 °C) or above, during a period of 160 days from 31 October 1923 to 7 April 1924. Another sign informs that the "Shire of East Pilbara Largest Shire in the World". It was as if the town is desperate to lay claim to something and wants everybody to know of its importance.
