Resources for a life of following Jesus every day, and everywhere, with everyone

I certainly never thought of God as homeless. That was a surprise for me this week. And yet, God's search for a home is a compelling framework for understanding His pursuit of us. For hundreds of years, men attempted to provide a home for God - tabernacles, tents, temples, etc. But as Dr. Sams reminds us, Christ and His work on the cross proves that God simply wants to be with us, to dwell with us, to make a home in us. God's home is in the hearts of people. As God home-makes, we are transformed. We are made into what our Creator (and every person) desires: a beautiful dwelling place to call "home".

The blues is probably the most recognizable modern music we know. It is conceived in suffering, in pain, in loss of hope. Rev. Kim Dorr-Tilley opens the Scriptures to illuminate the antidote to the blues. When we share our blues, we gain healing in the sharing of the suffering. Having Christ, who suffered more than we can imagine, gives us a brother-Lord. He knows our pain and because of that, only He can bring us perfect healing. We are never alone in our blues. It is shared with the blues' Almighty Healer.

Dr. Sams opens the Psalms once again to remind us how Christ wants to show us a clear picture of the joy He is. He wants to bring us festival joy. His joy does not run out. There is no hangover, nor indigestion, nor fatigue from the indulgence in too much joy. His is endless, for it is His essence. He is joy. With His indwelling in our hearts, we have joy. We need only remember that it is there.
