It was like, God was holding that thread and just pulling the anchor of your life up from the bottom of the sea to be with Him.
Keeping A Historical Perspective
Can I Be Low Maintenance and High Performance?
I shave my head because my "fashion," such as it is, is just trying to keep things as low maintenance as possible. But why do I want my look to be low maintenance?
Life Is Hard, Don’t Make It Harder
Once we brought them into the world, it took quite a while to get their schedules to adjust. So, for the first couple of weeks, I was up all night with them. I still remember telling people, "this parenting thing wouldn't be so hard if I could just get some sleep."
Relationships By The Waters
Is it just me, or do we focus to much on sin when we think about Baptism? What about the relationships it brings us into?
Did The Devil Make Me Do It?
In the podcast, I referenced the trial of Job and how God allowed Satan to torment him. The first aspect we should take notice is that Satan cannot just terrorize us. He is under the sovereignty of God just like the rest of us. That should give us great comfort. The troubling part is that God approved Satan to torment Job. That is one of those, "what the crap, God?" moments. If we are God's children, why would He ever approve our temptation or torment at the hands of Satan?
The Subtlety of the Battle
There is an enemy, and he is real, and he is a threat. Not to God, no, but to us. God allows us to choose Him, and to choose freely. Evil desires us to misuse that freedom and reject Him.
Am I Ready Yet?
I needed to clear the muck in my spirit that was clouding my mind and heart. The only way to do that was to step away from social media and step closer to Christ. I had no control over the muck or how long it would take to clear. I just had to wait (and pray). Then I would wiggle my toes to see if it was clear. When it was, I took a confident first step and found a good path.
