Search Me Oh God

I have felt so many things about the condition of our country, and the condition of “Christians” in our country over the past year. I’ve been extremely disappointed by so many who have idolized their own beliefs over the love of God. If you are human, it’s easy to do. So, it’s important for us to stop, I mean really stop and talk to God about it. Ask Him to show us, what we have valued above him. I have shared many thoughts and feelings on the subject, but there are some people that express things better than I can. Please read these thoughts I took from ministry leader Lisa Whittle. 


The person who survives this crazy world is the person who has 3 things settled.

1. That you want more for the Kingdom of God than you want for yourself. (Otherwise, self will drive all decisions. See the Bible for consequences/results of self over God.)

2. That you are able to walk strong in this world that seems to have gone crazy. (You’d be surprised how many people don’t think they are able. This is a crucial mental dealbreaker in current and future times.)

3. That you will choose and follow only Jesus, forever, no matter what. (Yes, I’m talking salvation. I’m also talking a moment by moment choice to follow the Holy Spirit and do what He says. Put all your eggs in this basket or none.)

There are a few other things that are really important, too. But these are the absolute deal-breakers.

If you don’t have things settled, I encourage you to settle them, even today.

If we fear losing something we love that much in settling these, we love it over God. And we will live with holding onto it.

Our goals always drive our behavior and thus, our level of courage. Our beliefs even more so. It is simple math. If you are cloudy on anything, being a Jesus follower is the best way to have your life sorted out for you. Things are much less complicated this way.

Welcome to now, where faith is real and Jesus becomes North for our true survival. As He is, has always been and should be.

Preachers, preach. And I don’t mean just from pulpits. You’re up.

Should Someone Call an Exorcist?

Last Friday I went bowling with some of my family. I am aware of my low skill level, so I remained humble throughout the first game, and surprisingly finished in 1st place!  The second game began and I just knew I would dominate even more. I may not have been quite as humble. I was last on the list to go. I stood up and approached my ball with confidence. I picked it up, set my eye on the center arrow painted on the lane, then took a few quick steps forward just as I had before.  As I took my last step, I swung my arm backward, then forward, and fell flat on my face. Actually, flat is not entirely accurate. I’m pretty sure every one of my limbs flew in a different direction, and the position of my head may have had folks wondering if they should call an exorcist. I also seemed to be temporarily blinded from the fall but could hear my ball bouncing its way down the lane. Let’s pause for a moment of prayer. The problem was that I had stepped over the foul line into the lane— 1. Not reali

The Complexity of Prayer

Have you ever considered the complexity of prayer? Have you ever had something you needed to pray about, but you just couldn’t bring yourself to talk to God about whatever the issue was? I have experienced that many times. I will call it “Prayer paralysis.” Prayer paralysis happens when you are afraid of any answer God might give you. If He says no, then you might feel bad, or sad, or even angry. If He says yes, then your fear factor increases because you just don’t think you can handle what a “Yes” entails (which essentially means that you don’t trust Him). So instead of revealing your lack of trust (Like seriously, you don’t think He knows? ), you just don’t pray. It’s kind of like when you were a little kid, and you would sit still and close your eyes, thinking that it would make you invisible. God already knows our fears of failure, self-pride, and even our trust issues, so we might as well just go ahead and lay it all at His feet. There’s another kind of prayer paralysis that I ha

  Anyone struggling with anxiety? I have struggled with it quite a bit. Then, I realize that forgetting to bring all of my anxiety-inducing problems to God, is a big part of the problem. Yesterday I talked about living in endurance mode. Part of that is taking all of the difficult things, and trying to wait them out.  If I really think about it, I may have subconsciously believed that struggling is just part of the journey and that I need to suck it up, because Jesus went through way more than I ever will.    But, “ Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11:28)  He never intended for us to hold onto them. Sometimes we don’t bother saying anything to God because, well, He knows what’s happening. He can change it if He wants to. So we sit paralyzed—enduring! Is that familiar to anyone? Though He could whisk our struggles away at any time, part of the journey, part of our relationship with the Creator is rooted in commu
