I don't want to confuse "simple" with "shallow". The Gospel is simple and yet the depth of it and how it changes everything is beyond comprehension in this life. Yet just because it is beyond comprehension doesn't mean we can not understand more of it and apply it more deeply. Some of Tim Kellers resources explain some of this very well: <a href="http://www.greentreewebster.org/Articles/All%20of%20Life%20is%20Repentance.pdf" rel="nofollow">All of Life is Repentance (PDF)</a> <a href="http://www.redeemer2.com/resources/papers/centrality.pdf" rel="nofollow">Centrality of the Gospel (PDF)</a> Another add on thought… I don’t want to confuse “simple” with “shallow”.

It's amazing how easy it is to forget that God is exactly NOT complicated. Sometimes, that can even be the litmus test of whether or not I'm doing His will. If it's simple, but difficult and uncomfortable, yet shows compassion or love in some way and requires sacrifice...I'm fairly sure it's the right thing. If it's easy or complicated and causes stress and chaos, chances are...it's not from Him. Very true. It’s amazing how easy it is to forget that God is exactly NOT complicated.

I tell myself that I'm too tired for prayer and quiet time today and that I'll do it tomorrow. Before I know it, I've gone 2 weeks without any meaningful prayer or study, and I feel completely disconnected. Good words of encouragment!
