THE EXPERIMENT

         Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to actually live the way the Bible instructs us to?  Is it really possible to "walk in the spirit and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh", to "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding", to "deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Jesus"?

          I wanted to find out.  I think the reason we don't see God meeting our needs is that we have so many "plan B's" that trusting God for our needs has become a last resort, so I conducted an experiment. Not a lab experiment with controls, but a social experiment to see if I could live totally submitted to God like the Bible instructs and see Him meet my needs.

           Don't misunderstand - I'm not testing God or the Bible.  I have total faith in them. I'm testing myself.  I'm becoming God's guinea pig to see if I can deny my flesh, consider others above myself, put God's will above my own.  Can I remain faithful when opposition arises?  How big a pull does my flesh have?  Will I try to justify my own will?    I'm talking about a radical lifestyle change of denying myself, taking up my cross and following Christ.  Can a person in today's society really trust God to meet his every need?  

         I embarked upon this experiment in November of 2014, and I blogged the journey.  The blog page is long since gone, but I think the wisdom and insights gained along the way were not only invaluable to me but would benefit others, so I’ve put the journey onto the pages here.  Come along with me as I embark upon an epic adventure known as….  The Experiment.  Click here to read THE EXPERIMENT in its entirety.
