Seeking to make the Lord God Jesus Christ visible in our midst… "Where two or three are gathered together in My name there am I in the midst of them." (Matt. 18:20)
Very helpful. The image of Lot’s wife comes up offering these ideas: The distance between the understanding and the will/affection is eternity. When they are at odds it confirms how condemned the human condition is without Truths. In such states the work becomes holding onto any straw at all in the understanding which has existence other than what pours out from what the affection is tied to.
New image: Noah’s ark, but with the emotional connection being with one of the animals forced to enter, not with the obedient, conscious building of the ark.
