"...the more emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually immature we are, the more we need things explicitly spelled out for us."
Now, what do we say to the 3 year olds who tell the adults that they shouldn't go into the street? I agree with your premise that God isn't interested in micromanaging, but many humans seem to desire that position. And they all have a different list of do's and don'ts.
Nice article Shawn. I like the story about the children - it really drives it home.
Thanks, Shaun! Glad it was helpful for you.
This sentence says volumes:

Wow! That's a great question, Greg. Very thought-provoking. Thanks for reading along and for sharing your reflections.
