I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I’m a disciple of His. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I’m finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed...

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

I don’t think I ever thought about the degree of this command. First off it is a command. We’re supposed to be representatives for Christ, in all situations we are supposed to be pointing...

People of the Second Chance
Im exhausted. physically. But I’m going to church tonight. I really wanna be committed this year. If I’ve set it aside for God I’m going to make the best of every opportunity. To work/to go/ to learn as much as I can, to seek Him as much as I can. I can be tired later. But as for the Lord, He will be there tonight, that I know full well in my heart. “Better is one day in...

WALKING ON WATER?! →
man-of-god:
Peter exhibited GREAT faith when he stepped out on the water… but then he allowed his immediate surroundings to hinder his walk! Peter’s faith began with a tremendous bold step, but it required a level of focus that he wasn’t used to. Follow through…. that was the problem; those pesky waves, and the way he usually thought about and experienced water; (not something that generally...

dillondean:
I can be at peace. I can eat with my brothers and sisters in Christ, from all walks of life. I can have coffee with the cessationist. I have had dinner with a family of fundamentalists. I can love my grandmother, even when she abuses the spiritual gifts. I can speak with the saved homosexual, repentant and unrepentant alike. I can speak to misogynists and the feminists and I can be...
God is my provider
Yesterday was a terrible day. But this morning I was resolute for it to be better. I read a post called ‘goldilocks’ which reminded me that I was given just enough. That he promised to not give me more than I can bear, that I am to lay all things and surrender them at the foot of the cross and know that he has them well within his control and be blessed through peace in that. I had...

To the girl with ‘beautiful’ on her arm He gave gold dust on the bathroom floor, on her arms and on her hands, but she didn’t dare ask to ask for more, because she didn’t understand that every flower was planted for her; she could hardly bear the thought that He wanted to dance with her in them. To the girl with the fearful heart, He gave arms to encircle her, hands to...

keeganmatthew:
then I’m fine with finishing last. I might get used and abused along the way but I’m fine with that, it’s not like I’m ignorant to it. I’d just much rather people know that there are still nice people in this world and that I’d rather love them than condemn them.
Best, these ‘nice guys’ keep hope alive. They never finish last in my books. Full of love and spirit,...
Everything is not okay. I am not the person that I want to be. I meet someone tonight who was really anointed with the spirit. the sort of person who you look at and all they wanna do is talk god with you (though not overbearingly). It made me super sad because I realised I don’t feel like one of those people. I dont feel like my actions and thoughts and words reflect the nature and...

The best time to preach the grace you speak about so passionately is with those fellow christians who disagree with you. How? Through your life lived.
Talk is cheap. The Gospel is not meant to be know by its doctrine, but by its passion. Its meant to be known by its passion because its not meant to be an incorporation into your life, but it’s meant to become your life.

Being honest
Here are two things that are terrifying me at the moment.
1) I’m starting a year at a bible college and I was really excited about it. But honestly at the moment i’m just struggling in the word atm. You know those times where with everything you just want to dig deeper and learn more and more? Yeah well that’s what I excepted and the reality is I feel really appathetic and then...
