You know those moments where you’re sitting with a close friend, and before you know it, you’ve totally spilled your guts about whatever crazy/scary/amazing/terrible thing is going on in your life? That’s what this space is for. We’ve all found ourselves in a place we never expected or never wanted to be. But while we’re here – wherever here may be for you – let’s talk about it.
What kind of religion can be altered at the hands of man? If we can manipulate it to be what we want it to be, to accept what we want it to accept, then we don’t actually have a God – we are the gods. And quite frankly, sin has messed us up way too much to have that kind of power. If your faith is influenced by cultural ideology, then your faith is faulty at best.
Maybe the presence of anxiety isn’t always an indicator of something bad. What if anxiety is an opportunity to trust God more?
Change is coming. It will be good. And hard. Faith-building, and faith-testing. Just like this season has been.
We can expect change. We should expect to see the things we pray for. But if we fix our eyes on that expectation, we will miss out on the best parts of our lives now.
We may not wrestle with flesh and blood, but that doesn’t mean we don’t fight. You have an enemy, and he has one mission: steal, kill, destroy.
So what are you going to do about it?
Walls – like the one I wish I could rip out in my condo – can be synonymous with obstacles. They keep people out. Or keep people in, depending on which side you stand on. And our human resolve often causes us to be obsessed with obliterating obstacles.
