Episode notes
Trust God Rather Than Human Help
- Trust God instead of people when anxious about needs and salvation.
- Frazer Blaxland cites Psalm 118:8 and Philippians-style exhortation to cast burdens on the Lord and pray with thanksgiving.
Inconsistency Of Spiritual And Practical Trust
- If you trust God for salvation, inconsistency arises when you then seek humans for lesser needs.
- Blaxland asks rhetorically whether God's omnipotence and faithfulness make other confidences unnecessary.
Do Not Dilute Faith With Human Confidence
- Do not mix human confidence with faith; rely solely on God for expectation and hope.
- Blaxland uses vivid metaphors: do not mix wine with water, do not tarnish faith's gold with human dross.
