Thinking with God
"Thinking with God" is a non published collection of messages that Tim Kelley, Grace Thoughts host, taught in a small and private setting. These CD's were never posted on the Website or made available to the general public until now. "Thinking with God" answers 2 distinct questions: What is God like and How does God Think? It is impossible for us, as believers, to think clearly in our Christian life without addressing these vital questions.
(The audio quality is reflective of the small setting in which these were recorded.)

Being “renewed” is a supernatural process of transforming the Christian from a life of self-consciousness to one who is transformed into a Christ like image. This process begins internally and works its way out to the external.

We see in this passage a battle Paul speaks of, his battle with sin and its indwelling nature. To give it a more modern term—Paul was consumed with Self Consciousness.

The Word of God had an inner man ministry to the author of this Psalm. It quieted his heart and brought a calm into the soul. The word had an imprint on his soul - it was inscribed on his heart.

A soldier in the fog of war only knows the battle he is in at the moment, not the entire strategic plan the General has. Calming the mind, disengaging self, stepping back and getting to the foundational thoughts - this is what the Psalmist is doing. What he is facing is consuming, he must go beyond the obvious, the thunderstorm, and see the Sun again.

One of our biggest challenges in practical Christian life is to simply slow our thinking down. We are consistently being challenged by life to interpret it by the moment and by the circumstance, not the bigger picture.

I make a great mistake when I interpret my circumstances as relevant to God’s thoughts about me. Our lives will often be marred with sometimes inexplicable suffering and circumstances. There is little good to find; God doesn’t seem to care about His own plan! And even though I have done my best, maybe, to honor Him - it seems as though I am under His hand of chastisement.

In any consistent teaching on the Grace of God it is important to understand that God’s Grace has a plan of transformation for your life. This is an inner life transformation, causing you to be not only conformed in your outward life style and actions, but more importantly, transformed internally. Transformed in the place no one can see - where we become finished work believers inwardly.
