For his own good reasons, God has not revealed all of the specifics of his plan for humanity. Many of his ways are beyond us. It’s a reminder of our need for humility. And in the absence of those specifics, to speak dogmatically and inflexibly about peripheral issues is to hinder potential converts from accepting the love of God. Our fight is not against flesh and blood although our own personal internal battles must be won, we fight for the faith entrusted to us that we might impart it to others - destroying the works of the devil.

It is tempting to be manipulated by our biases and to think that our way is the only appropriate way to understand the events of God as they unfold. But God is bigger than our personal or denominational views. His desire is that none should perish but that all should come to the knowledge of - SALVATION. This is the good news!

"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8,9
