Listen

Listen

People are hurting in the shadows of your church.

Listen

People really don't care how cool your church is

Listen

Do you hear them.... Crying?

No? Turn down your Church programs...... Now do you hear them?

Listen

There are people in your Church who feel beat up because they don't feel like they can measure up to what you are beating them down with.

A whisper.... vaguely asking questions

Questioning God

Questioning life

Can you hear them?

Maybe you cant because they don't ask you... they are afraid to question you. So they ask God.

They might be mad at God... but even He knows that is taboo in a building with his name on it.

People need God

Did you know that?

Not YOU

God

Not your doctrine

God

Listen............. Shut the door of your church, just for a while and see what God is doing in other places that you would not be caught in.

He is under the bridge with a homeless person

He is at a bar watching them have fun, while you judge them for going.

He is holding the hand of a Muslim, Christian and a Buddhist because he loves them all.

He is at the football game... yep on a Sunday!

He is in Arkansas

New York City

Africa

Small towns

Churches

Temples

Honky Tonks

At a rich person's house

A Poor persons house

A card board box

He is at Wal - Mart

He is with you

Listen.. Shhhh...

Do you hear Him?

It's all good

Life has been a trip lately. Ton's of challenges for my family. But, it's all good.

Yes, i have been theologically challenged, spiritually challenged, physically challenged, emotionally challenged, beat up, knocked down, pushed down, walked on, laughed at, ticked off, sad, fearful, cowardly, fake, stupid, but its all good.

I haven't really been "following God" like i should, but, it's all good.

I have seen of my friends become silent to me, but its all good.

One thing i know is this. God loves me and his grace has NO opposite.. so, it's all good.

So in the words of Bob Dylan, "It's All good"

Jesus Loves Me More Than I Love Him!

I set here at midnight (have to be up at 5am) and cant sleep. Jacob and I just got back a while ago from The movies. He is laying here beside me. Tami and Luke are over at her cousins house. So, here I am setting up in bed, watching my stuck up cat stare at me! LOL
On the way home from the movies tonight I was listening to some classic Hillsong worship. The song that spoke to me was "unfailing Love"
The truth is , jesus loves me more than I love Him!
Think about that - NO MATTER WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN, WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, WHAT YOU WILL EVER DO, Jesus loves you with a perfect love!
If you are alive, love Him back
If you are dead, and in Him, you will love Him back
If you have a car, love him
Legs, love Him
Shoes, Love Him
Food, Love Him
So I guess I have a two folded prayer for tonight. 1. PLEASE LET ME GET A VERY GOOD NIGHT OF SLEEP 2. HELP ME TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF YOUR LOVE AND REACT TO IT LIKE YOU HAVE SNATCHED ME FROM THE FIRE.

Remember, He loves you unconditionally, without one single blemish. He is proud of you and wants to shine through you. Smile, laugh, cry...... Love Him. Just a Thought.....

When it rains it pours?

Well, what a day. I am setting at the hospital. Its 10:30 pm. been a long and testing day.

My mom had a stroke this morning.

Yesterday morning she was fine. Today, well..... she is in ICU.

So, in the last year and a half has been wild! My next to the oldest brother dies. My dad had a stroke, and recently was diagnosed with demensia. My wife's dad was diagnosed with cancer. This morning, my mom had a stroke. Through it all when it rains it pours.

The grace of God rains. the grace of God pours. Yea, I admit its been very tough. I have cried, cussed, wept deeply, fought depression and even laughed for no reason. Through it all God still has been so good.

I have seen a Church go from 180 to 50, yet God is still good. He still sends His rain. He still pours His grace. He still smiles and even cries with me.

There has been a lot of "bad" happen. But, that has not changed our "Good" God.

No matter what, he is God. No matter what He knoes all, feels all, see's all, touches all, loves all, feels all, and wants to save..... all.

Yep, when it rains, it pours. And for that, I am thankful
