When feelings fail

"In the current lazy-busy church age, we don't have the will or energy to search Jesus out: we much rather want Him to fall on us and squash our angst, ambush us with darts of good feeling, and cocoon us with a bubble of grace. The perennial problem of feelings is they are as fickle as our fragile personalities. In contrast, the Word of God is forever-and-always trustworthy. Feelings are nice when they come, but when they fail we can still seek God and do good." Quote by Nick Davis

Two rich men

Two rich men........ .....one young ruler turns away from Jesus sad, another short fraudster climbs out of a tree at his request and puts things right......both were rich, both met Jesus, the 'good' guy turned his back on Him, the 'bad' guy opened his heart to Him and love followed. We will be 'known by our fruits'...... Which part of the DIFFERENCE do YOU and I actually lie on today?

These tears

Just want to testify today to the healing and liberating power of our God. He came to set the captives free and to release those imprisoned in dark dungeons of despair. He is able people. The following is a poem that flowed today from a time of great love and emotion, "I have longed for these tears these uncontrived, true and timely tears. Welling love, dripping, drowning grief. Flowing freely, a great release. Expression of true liberty and a voice that speaks louder, Sorrow fleeing with each paradoxical sob, I knew this day would come. But could I make it come? No, love sometimes waits, crouching, but cannot be denied, Only His roaring call can awaken the dawn, With rivers deep, and temple curtain torn. I have longed for these tears" JS.
