Opportunity part 4

09/06/2017 18:49
When we are weak, God (LOVE) is strong. Because when we are weak, we stop trying to do it ourselves. And then God (LOVE) has an opportunity to do what God (LOVE) does. Which, of course, is to love. Love is not just what God does, love is who God is. But love isn't pushy. Love doesn't demand its...

Opportunity part 3

In our weakness, God is strong. Because in our weakness God has the opportunity to be strong. He IS always strong. And He IS our strength. That's the truth and the truth never changes. What changes is whether or not we know and believe the truth. Whether or not, in a sense, we let the truth BE true...

Opportunity part 2

The reason God wants a broken heart is NOT because He wants you to be heartbroken. No true father (Father), or parent for that matter, would ever want their child to be anything but happy. And I know that its more of a parents job to make sure their child is cared for, safe, provided for. But if...

This Rant series might take a little bit of explaning. Which is why I like to do them in a five part series--I can stay on one topic for a few days and really kind of dig into it. But my point for this series is: For the most part, God doesn't force His will on people. He simply presents it to...

God Complex part 5

09/02/2017 19:43
When we know who we are, we can stop trying to be someone we're not. I feel like that's one of my biggest refrains these days. But I feel like its so important that we understand this concept. Because as long as you're trying to be someone you're not--and that's what man-centered, performance-based...

God Complex part 4

When it comes right down to it, we should ALL have a God complex. We should ALL know who we are, and in knowing, BE who we are. Who we REALLY are. But, like they say, if it was EASY everybody would do it. Its pretty hard sometimes to set your affection on things above. Because there's a lot of...

God Complex part 3

08/31/2017 20:06
The biggest problem I have with the idea of, "You have a God complex!" is that we use that in a negative connotation. Its like, we somehow think being like God is both something to aspire to... and a bad thing. When the truth of the matter is, we don't have to aspire to being Godlike, because as He...

God Complex part 2

08/30/2017 19:48
A God complex is a love complex. It is (or, at least, should be) our focus. Like when I hear people say, "God wants to be a part of your life." I don't think so. I think God wants to BE your life, because He IS life. And since God IS love, that's what it comes down to. When Jesus identifies Himself...

God Complex part 1

08/29/2017 18:31
So I was watching this show the other day, and one of the characters accused another character of having a "God Complex." Because that character wanted to control, and dominate... well... the entire world, really. And that got me to thinking. Because that, unfortunately, is how we seem to think of...

Lighthouse part 5

08/28/2017 19:13
A lighthouse doesn't depend on light from without. It lights up the darkness from within. Just like when God spoke into the darkness and said, "Let there be light." And let's be clear about something: Light trumps dark every time. Its like in Psalm 68:1, "...Let God arise, let his enemies be...
