I do think at times, we read something and think it cant be as easy as wahtever the answer is and try to dig deeper when the answer is staring you right in the face. I know when we were doing a manuscript study this happened on occasion. Something do involve thought and thinking about things isnt a bad thing, but sometimes you do have to KISS! haha

The Bible is complicated on the inside. It can come off as easy sometimes when you look at it, but once you begin to study it, you realize how complicated it can be. Especially when you can write a 5 page paper on a single verse. And sermons on verses. There is so much information in a single verse sometimes that it can be mind boggling.
I'm thankful though that Jesus said "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled" and "And [Jesus] said to them,\ it is written, Man shall not live on bread alone, but by ever word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

Some of us. Those of which whom don't hunger and thirst after righteousness.
I try my best to repent every day, to not only ask for forgiveness but to die to myself just as Christ has died for me. I try my best to turn away from the Sin in my life. But I can not do it without the help of Jesus.
Sometimes I still try to do things on my own. But Spiritually speaking I'm a baby still only 6 months old. I will learn as I continue to grow with God, and learn to put my whole trust in Him. But trust is something that builds over time, not just something that happens over night.
I'm far from perfect though, and always will be.
Thank God that he doesn't require us to be perfect because "when he sees me, he sees the blood of the Lamb. He sees me as worthy, and not as I am. He views me in garments, as white as the snow. For the Lamb of God is worthy. And he loves me this I know."

It's because so many approach their faith and the Bible as a spring board for interesting conversation, debate, discussion and thinking. They open their Bible's hoping to find that obscure passage that will tickle their sense of amusement.
For many the Bible is just another book for provoking interesting thoughts. It's no different than a book by Plato or Socrates. These types just love to have something to kick around in their heads, so they can intellectually amuse themselves.
They become bored with the clear revelation from God and instead focus on stuff that isn't clearly revealed. In the end they lose focus on clear revelation and manufacture their own revelations based on their interpretations of self made obscure Bible topics.

Well he wants us to repent of all our doings. We must die. Repent from the obvious sin in our lives and ask God to convict us of other things in our lives He wants us to change, so we may become the Man/Woman of God HE wants us to be
