Show Notes

Barbara Bradley Hagerty, a New York Times best-selling author, says that Christians need to operate on two levels: the human and the spiritual. Just as bifocal lenses allow us to see the “far away” and the “up close”, so must we see things spiritually and humanly at the same time. Spiritual perception—seeing human circumstances from God’s point of view—helps a Christian get past his physical circumstances by knowing that God is sovereign. Are you wearing your bifocals?
