do we find it hard to multi task?

Being a bloke, i often get told that I am never going to be great at multi-tasking. I think it is a gift, i also think that most women are great at it. But i think i can hold my own, i think that even the most lowly of men (i.e. me) can train myself to do two things at once. Now i know that i can't rub my tummy and pat my head, i know that that is beyond me, but right now, believe you and me, i am multi tasking at this very minute. As i am typing this blog i am, yes wait for it, I am watching a DVD. lol, yeah ok so i am probably not really multi tasking, but like i say i am a bloke.

Last week, i was at the youth alpha conference, and was listening to Mike Pilivachi and he said something that i found really challenging. If you follow our tweet @nottinghamyfc you will have already heard it, but he said ' If you just read the Bible you will dry up, if you just follow the Spirit you will blow up, but if you put them together you will grow up.'

Going round lots of churches and speaking at different fellowships over the years, you do seem to see people favouring either the Bible or the Holy Spirit. Me myself, i am a raving penty and so do know i put a lot of emphasis on God's spirit, because He is what God sent us to help us to be in a relationship with Him, and therefore he helps us to communicate with our father in heaven. But to have the Holy Spirit without the bible would be, and is in some circles, dangerous and not what God would want for us and our faith. The Bible, i also see in so many fellowships, become a God on it's own. Let's face it, there are some really hard things in the bible to get your head round, and often i can end up reading it and feeling like there is nothing in it for me.
So when we do faith, when we journey in our faith it is good to remember that God knew it would be difficult, God know we would struggle. That is why He left His Spirit, because He knew. So let us not neglect what God has given us, both His word and His Spirit.

See how you do, and even if you struggle, go on try multi tasking.
