A lot of people will tell you that they want to be “led by the Holy Spirit,” but what do they mean by that? And is that argument even Biblical?
As it turns out, not only is the concept Biblical, but necessary — but not in the way most people intend it. God leads us through His Word — which is given by His Spirit — not by a series of feelings and emotions.
Understanding that difference is crucial.

CloseThe story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac is -- on the surface -- absurd. What kind of God would ask a human being to sacrifice their child, especially when later in the Bible, sacrificing your child to a "god" is one of the most heinous sins that people would ever commit? Fortunately, God stopped Abraham from going through with it, but the simple fact that Abraham was willing to do it says a lot about the depth of his faith. According to Hebrews 11, Abraham knew that God would raise Isaac back up in order to fulfill the other promise He had made to Abraham, which was to "bless all the nations" through Isaac. I wonder sometimes -- would I have had the same kind of faith in God to sacrifice my son as well?
