What God wants from our lives isn’t complicated, but that doesn’t mean it’s an easy thing to pull off…

God never promises us that we can just say some words, or put on a show and everything will be okay. this is simple, life changing stuff. the Kingdom life demands a deep response in my life. it must seep down deep, penetrating every dark corner of my being. i can’t live a surface dwelling, shallow life and expect that to pass as quality living. it must be purposefully lived out in my day-to-day life.

anything else is a bald-faced deception & a side show for attention.

i have to come to grips with who i really am in order to do this. only by being truthful with myself & addressing my  own issues can i begin to have any authority or reason to talk with someone else about their problems and issues. Christ Jesus is the bridge to make that happen in a real way.
