Connections

When I moved to London 20yrs ago I had the opportunity of going to ‘speaker’s corner’ which is a place beside Hyde Park where anyone can go stand on a soap box and speak about anything and everything. I watched these two men debate; one was an atheist and one was a theologian. It was very interesting, a bit like a verbal fencing bout.  But I got bored of their parrying not because it wasn't interesting to some extent but because there was no engagement of heart.

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed ‘theologically’ but I do have the privilege of hearing some great bible teachers and they just blow me away with their insight and cleverness.  The difference with these guys is they enable a connection between the word of God and my heart. This causes an effect on how I do life. Someone once said ‘trying to connect with God through the mind alone is like trying to put a 3 pin plug in a 2 pin whole – it won’t work because connection with God essentially happens through the heart ‘.

Are you connecting with both you mind and your heart?
