classyliving asked: My gosh, I know how it feels to be dismissed for being Charismatic. My two best friends in Christ dismiss a lot of my experiences with the Holy Spirit because they just think it is crazy self-generated silliness. What can ya do!
Be blessed!

What?
What would you do with a fresh start?
What if money was absolutely no object?
What would your life look like if you could be anywhere you want to be?
Who would you be with? What would you be doing?
You find your purpose—you find your calling—you hear the voice of God when you listen to the passions God created you to have, coupled with the need of the people God put around...
Unknown
“for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO THE UNKNOWN GOD’. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you…”
—Paul (Acts 17:23)
How often do we go through life, viewing everyone’s “objects of worship”… People sacrificing...
Going to church is a lame hobby.
Peace and love.
Immanuel
For this Christmas, the thing we should all keep in mind is the name given to Jesus—Immanuel, “God is with us”.
How profound, that despite everything that might be going on—no matter what we are going through, God is with us.
God is with you.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Peace and love.

“Jesus didn’t come to start a subculture, he came to heal the world.”

What an amazingly simple concept. Jesus never came intending to bring “Jesus bumper stickers”, “Fish T-shirts”, “Christian Music” (how can music be “Christian”, anyway?)……Jesus came to heal the world… to make it...
Wholeness
Luke 17:11-19
“Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, ‘Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!’
So when He saw them, He said to them, ‘Go show yourselves to the priests.’ And so...

Pt. 3--God
We go through life, in pain…. Unable to endure…. We hurt other people, other people hurt us. We feel happy, then we feel sad, then we are broken and upset…. And life is like a sea, where we are pushed to our limits, and then drawn back deeply into our own ineptitudes, crying out for something…..
We go looking for love……….. we go looking for acceptance…… we go looking for fame, fortune, or...

Pt. 2--God
In the beginning of time…. at the moment time was created, God already was. He created a world, and all the stars, with simply saying “Let there be”. And all the physics, all the mathematics, all the intricacies of the universe began to come into being.
In an instant, there was a perfect world; a world without disease, a world without corruption, a world without pain, a world without problems. It...

Wrong Questions
I think so many people ask the question: “Is God real?”
But the reality is, that question doesn’t mean anything at all. The more important question is: “Does God care?”, because if God is real, and doesn’t care, then it doesn’t really matter anyway.
A concept we all have to understand is: what makes us think that God has to be loving and caring? Why...
One of the most important questions you can ask yourself is:
“Is there more like inside of me than there is death around me?”
Do you want to live?
Peace and love.
New Blog
Hey, guys.
I just created a new blog—it’s for my New Years Resolution…..
Follow it @itstheresolution.tumblr.com
Also, I think it would be fun if a bunch of you guys made another page, just to track your progress on your New Years Resolutions…. it would be fun to watch a small community of people tumbling about how their New Years Resolutions are coming….
Hope...

Gratefulness
One of the reasons we are not grateful to someone who gives us a gift is because we do not consider how that person feels about what the gift costs.
Think about what “Christmas” (not so much the day, as what it represents… aka, God losing his identity as a heavenly, spiritual being needing nothing, and turning into a baby that needed everything given to him) cost God.
And...
weworshipyoulord asked: I just want to say that the article you wrote on why bad things happen to good people was blessed by the Spirit. It is worded in such a way that it is easy to understand and comprehend. I thank the Lord for you and what you wrote as I was just asked by someone why do some people get blessed more than others....that doesn't seem fair. Which this explains the part of why there is suffering it...
“God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.”

Why bad things happen to good People
Why would God subject ALL of creation to suffering?
“For the creation was subject to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because creation itself will also be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.”
He subjected it in HOPE….. the suffering of creation SCREAMS that everything is not right in the world!
We all have...
Peace and Goodwill toward Men
I guess it’s time to gear up for the Christmas season. It’s always an interesting time, trying to run around, trying to buy presents, deciding who should get what (it’s always on a scale of importance. Your family, yeah, they have to get good stuff…. And your friends, they get what’s left over from the paycheck). But every Christmas, I always wonder how Jesus feels about all of our...

Why?
Sometimes, there are just things that words cannot express. Think of the most beautiful thing you have ever seen, and then try to describe it with adjectives. Sometimes, I am full of so much disappointment, and cannot even begin to find words to describe it. You know, things can be so fun until you step back and look at life, and see how much of it is being thrown away into nothingness. Sometimes,...
Truths
Sometimes the most rewarding thing you can do is to remember the truths about who God is.
The easiest thing to do is to grow apathetic towards God…. it is easy because He is not visibly in front of you, when so many things are. So many things press right in front of your face, and God is shoved into the background.
So, today…. maybe work through some things you absolutely know to...
conformingtotheson-deactivated2 asked: I'm wondering, how 1 Timothy 2: 11 and 12 come into the whole women in ministry question earlier then?
myisrael asked: A friend asked this and I've always wondered the same thing, so I'm asking a few people to state their opinions on this. So if you see this multiple times on your dash, that's why.
