It begins like this: &#8220;It was the first and only time I\u2019ve ever been called to perform an exorcism. It wasn\u2019t a person that was possessed, the frantic lady on the phone informed me, it was her house. It had not one but two spirits. She had already tried a medium, a Catholic priest, and the strategic placement of crosses. You know you\u2019re desperate when your last best hope is a Baptist pastor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ministrynutsandbolts.com\/2024\/03\/12\/the-soul-poison-of-the-little-word-should\/\" rel=\"noopener\">The Soul-Poison of the Little Word \u2018Should\u2019<\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article considers the way the little word &#8220;should&#8221; can become such a poison.<\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/barbaraleeharper.com\/2024\/03\/17\/we-wont-understand-all-but-well-trust-more\/\" rel=\"noopener\">We Won\u2019t Understand All, but We\u2019ll Trust More<\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I tend to agree with Barbara that in heaven we will understand more than we do now about God&#8217;s acts of providence, but not necessarily everything we&#8217;d like to know. &#8220;I don\u2019t know if we\u2019ll understand everything that God did and allowed while we were on earth. Because He will still be God and we still won\u2019t be. He is omniscient, and we will never be.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A La Carte: How to know if you&#8217;re using God \/ The soul-poison of the little word &#8216;should&#8217; \/ True, false, or heresy? \/ Truthful thinking is greater than positive thinking \/ Unless the seed dies \/ and more.See AlsoA La Carte (December 2)A La Carte (9\/11)A La Carte (08\/30)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":73688,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[31],"tags":[306],"class_list":["post-73672","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tim-challies","tag-a-la-carte","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biblicalcounselor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/cover-a-la-carte-tue-b-3-1.jpg?fit=1920%2C1219&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73672","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73672"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73672\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73690,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73672\/revisions\/73690"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/73688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biblicalcounselor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
