Episode Details

We face the subtle spiritual danger of “almost” accepting God while remaking Him into something familiar and controllable. We contrast a crowd that misreads a miracle with the life Jesus describes where God actually dwells in a person through loving obedience. 
• Paul heals a man who has never walked and the crowd mistakes the source of power 
• the pull to fall back into old categories and comfortable idols 
• Paul and Barnabas’ urgent refusal of misplaced worship 
• Jesus’ promise to dwell within us through the Father Son and Holy Spirit 
• love defined as keeping Christ’s word rather than admiration or feelings 
• the tension of wanting peace and guidance while resisting conversion 
• the Holy Spirit as Advocate who teaches reminds convicts and clarifies 
• two concrete questions about reshaping God versus letting His word reshape us
