We are Human Beings not Human Doings

Greg, Pat, and Steve continue the encouraging the conversation about loving God and the book “Crazy Love” by Francis Chan. Many can understand the perspective of how a young student responds to the presence of the principal. You wouldn’t respond to the principal like one would with their classmate to the left or right. Often times, we can simply begin talking to God like to the people at our left or right without first understanding that He is to be revered and glorified. Even greater, God loves each and every one of us and desires to be with us and have a relationship with us.

God simply desires for us to be with Him than to just do something for Him. This life is the only opportunity for us to glorify Him. We do the most for God when we are at rest in Him, when we trust His leadership and plan for our life. Before we desire to do anything for Him, we should simply want to be with Him, and obey what He wants us to do. Be encouraged as you learn how to revitalize your time with the Lord, how to be fulfilled in His presence and plan for your life, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: the principal’s office, sunflowers, authorities, exhaustion, trust, love, obedience, and abiding.

Nations are at war, the borders of America are being flooded, disease is rising and spreading, Israel is constantly defending itself. What do you pray for? Where does one start? How do I pray? Often times, our words can be limited. But, that’s why Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, to pray for us. Be encouraged as you find out how you can entrust the Holy Spirit to lead you in times as these, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: the Holy Spirit, prayer, James Foley, Liberia, and hope.

What Focusing on God Reveals in Yourself

In culture, there are so many things that seek to get in the way of love. We can overcome this by asking God to remove everything that hinders love. As we focus on God’s holiness and desiring to be more like Him, it causes us to see the pride in our own lives.

The Fruit of Repentance

Steve, John and Pat talk about the importance of the criticalness of what so often we can gloss right over, repentance. When God sent John the Baptist ahead of Jesus, his message was simple and it was clear; “bear fruit in keeping with repentance.”-Luke 3:8 Often times, one can repent for their actions. But, when repentance comes from “Godly Sorrow”, the fact that we hurt God’s heart, and not simply the sorrow of being caught, there will be a change of action, a change of thought and patterns. Jesus calls us to bear fruit, “showing ourselves to be his disciples.” – John 15:8. Repentance is not something we can breeze over. It is how we are supposed to live our lives. Find out more of the importance of repentance in our lives, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: axes at the roots, good fruit, bad fruit, Antioch, Christ-like, and Christ followers.
