It seems we often hear statements like this, "Mr. Monk A clever, but is it actually a sermon, it is difficult to understand." Originally the terminus of the criticism, praise, bridged conjunctions but. That person is mean to criticize, but menghaluskannya with a catapult praise just yet. The main intent of the statement after the word but yes it is: criticism.
The Bible also contains a "bridge" but ", but with a completely different meaning. Lamentations of Habakkuk, for example. This Prophet among his people who bemoan the conditions of concern. He does not refute the fact that subtle heartbreaking and disappointing in its vicinity. Fig tree not flowering, the vine did not bear fruit, the olive tree is disappointing, the fields produce no food, sheep dispelled from the cage, and no cattle in the stables (verse 17). It's just that, he doesn't dwell on it. To pursue a "bridge but", he directs the gaze on rescue and maintenance of God: "... yet I will rejoice in the Lord" (verse 18). We can call it as "but the Holy" and we can implement it in our everyday life.
You encounter a condition that is disappointing, not in accordance with your expectations? You don't have to escape from this reality; You just need to pursue a "bridge but" to direct view on the truth of God. For example, "Lord, I find it hard to forgive the A and I know I'm not able to forgive him with my strength alone. But, love so immense and unlimited. Alirkanlah Thy mercy that through me. " Then, as the light expelling darkness, truth Eternal God will eventually swallow the fact that mortal. -ARS
