I like this quote by C. S. Lewis. He is talking about Communion and Baptism, but I think it applies here, too: "God never meant man to be a purely spiritual creature. That is why he uses material things like bread and wine to put the new life into us. We may think this rather crude and unspiritual. God does not: he invented eating. He likes matter.

Why should he work outside of the laws and nature he has already created? Do you think God is a romantic? I do. He created sunsets and waterfalls and music. He created aromas that make your head spin. He even created the way of smelling them. He made chocolate. How awesome is that?! I think we sometimes overspiritualize God and ask for signs and wonders and lightening from above...why not just let what God has already made speak to you? Why not let that little whisper from God speak to your heart, instead of waiting around for some loud sign? 1 Kings 19:11-13 "For reason is a property of God's...moreover, there is nothing He does not wish to be investigated and understood by reason." ~Tertullian [i]de paenitentia[/i] Carthaginian Historian 2nd century AD Loading...
