Saint or not?

Lay your heart down in this search for God. Your whole heart. Without reserve. Do not give up, and do not take it back.

Who wants God anyway?

We have been blinded, dulled, and misinformed about the dynamism that is inherent in a relationship with God!

See?

I wonder how many people proclaim God didn’t teach them how to see when the real problem is they forgot to watch.

En-joyed by God

That’s when the light breaks into the darkness. That’s when the candles start to burn. That’s when this thing called joy pops up in our hearts even as our hearts break.

Cruel or beautiful?

In what ways are you teaching yourself to turn from the negative to the positive, from the cruel to the beautiful?

No time for tombs

Watch Him lead the way out of the tomb within where you keep all the doubts, the nagging (but useless) questions, and the fear. We have no time for tombs.

Within!

If you’re getting mauled by evil, burnt by fire, then what in heaven does the bible mean when it has the audacity to teach “no evil shall befall you?!”

On miracles

Here’s the thing though: if we teach just this interpretation of “miracle,” then where is God now?
