Natural vs. Supernatural

I am not a theologian, bible scholar or clergyman. I am one, like many, who has spent a large part of my adulthood deeply immersed in my faith. My time has been spent trying to achieve that delicate balance between vocation and avocation. My avocation has been pursuing those events that I call the intersection of the natural with the supernatural. Much like the storm chasers we see on tv that go around the country trying to document tornadoes and their effects which I describe as the intersection of the natural and the unnatural. My pursuit has been for those events that change hearts and/or directions of one’s life in an instant that can only be attributed to a force, a faith or an entity larger than ourselves. These intersections of the natural with the supernatural cannot be seen with the naked eye – but there is evidence left behind that they have happened. Relationships are repaired, behaviors changed, joy returned to a drained and empty soul are all evidence of an event that happens unseen to the naked eye. The author of the book of Hebrews calls that faith. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). I call it God working behind the scenes if you will, covertly, silently declaring His willing involvement in each of our lives. “The Evidence of Things Unseen” that will be published around the first of the year gives testimony of those intersections of the natural with the supernatural as I have experienced them in my own life and understood them. I feel compelled to do so because I believe that recognizing these intersections is first, to understand that God is deeply involved in our lives whether we acknowledge it or not and second, that knowledge is the gateway to living a life of experiential faith that is vibrant, alive and fully aware of God’s active presence in our life! It is my experience that this kind of faith is rare in the evangelical church of today and desperately needed.

    I love hearing and sharing accounts of God’s Providence. God can arrange all things together for a moment of time in one’s life which can only be supernatural. I look forward to reading about them.

    It’s the super natural I seek, crave and want. I want God to move in away that can’t be explained by anyone or anything. When it happens I want to know only God could have done that. My Bishops wife is with her husband at the hospital waiting for a heart transplant for her husband. She was in prayer and God gave her 3 words. “Don’t Ask How.”
