I really stink at this blogging thing. I do good for a while then before I know it it’s been a week since I’ve posted a blog. Oh well, at least I try. I want to share with you a quote I heard this week. I’m not sure actually where it came from or who said but it is thought provoking…at least for me. Here goes: “We are often educated beyond our obedience.” So what do you think? What do you think the author of this little quote meant by what he said? He is speaking of Christians is my understanding.

I am Scott McAlister, Senior Pastor of SpringWell Church in Taylors, S.C. I am the lucky husband of the most beautiful woman in the world and the proud father of two incredible teenage girls. And I love my job. I mean it...I'm not kidding. I really do love my job! I love my job because it gives me the opportunity to flesh out my faith with the people that I love the most in this world. Life just doesn't get any better than that! My simple goal with this blog thing is to try to communicate as honestly as I can about what living out your faith in the real world really looks like. I hope that you'll read along and join me on my spiritual journey!Email Subscription

the word beyond means past , later than, or on the other side so my guess would be that this author is saying that as christians, since this is who he refers to, we should trust god and be obedient to him and there will be a lesson learned.

I think his comment means, we are educated far beyond what we can commit to being obedient to. There are to many things in this world and of this world that we choose over obedience.

I think maybe , we as christians try to understand more clearly through acquiring more knowledge about him. Who is IS and how he relates to mankind. we try to understand his toughts, his ways. But as the bible states HIS ways are not OUR ways. It simply takes in us a child like faith and obedience to worship him, then i turn he helps us understand HIs ways more clearly?

That comment is so true! I try to over analize based on what I KNOW before simply being obedient. I’m reminded to keep the faith of a child! thanks for the post! Praying for u!
