Forever Enough

I don’t have it down
Yet I pretend I do
I think it’s still about me
While paying lip service to you

You’ve told me, scolded me, held me, changed me
Yet not enough

I’m still lying, crying, whining
Choking on the very word you gave me
Denying you while trying to
Be something you didn’t design me to be

Where can I go? Where should I run?
But to you
Who should I cry out to?
Who will forgive? Restore? Redeem? Restart?
But you

Yes you and you alone
Yes you and you alone
Yes you
You
Alone

I don’t have it down
I never have. I never will.
Because of you I don’t need to.
Let me see, please let me see
You were
Are
Will be
Forever
Enough

Careful resolutions

Be careful what you resolve to do. Many this new year will resolve to follow God more. And this is a worthwhile endeavor. But this is more than simply reading the Bible a few times a week or praying a little bit more.
To follow God, to truly follow Him is to forget about oneself. To take up one’s cross. You are to deny yourself, to give up your rights, to give up your very life and think about others instead of yourself.
Ouch. Great resolution. Tough to live out. God luck. And yes I said God luck, not good luck…cause it is impossible to do without God.

The Reason

Jesus isn’t just the reason for the season. He is the reason, period. Should we celebrate the birth of the Savior of the World and remember that Christmas is about that…well of course we should.
Just like on Easter we need to celebrate the risen savior.
But we as Christians should always be “celebrating Jesus”…regardless of the season or holiday. Christmas is a celebration of Jesus’ birth. Easter is a celebration of the risen Savior. Our lives, each and every day, even on the odd Tuesday in the middle of February or on a Saturday in June, or whenever should be celebration of Jesus.
It is all about Him..not just on Christmas, or Easter, but on each and every single day.

Slow Down

Are you moving too fast? Are you not paying attention? In today’s fast-paced, instant gratification society, there is a possibility that God may be doing something, saying something, and we could miss it entirely.
Slow down every once in a while and listen for God’s still small voice.
(PS – note about the video. Dude is a world famous musician. People pay 100s of dollars to hear him, the music he was playing was Bach, and he was playing it on a $3.5 million dollar violin)

All He Does is Win…Yeah But…

All aboard the Tim Tebow bandwagon. Christians are in a tizzy, celebrating the unusual success of the Denver Broncos quarterback.
Nothing against Tebow, who seems to be handling his accolades and his critics with class and grace. But just a thought, maybe the excitement we feel about Tebow should be reserved for the guy Tebow “Tebows” for…

Oh well…more writing

What the heck, havent written here in a while. So thought I might as well write something, anything, lest they take my blog down for inactivity. Do they even do that?

Well, the end of the world is tomorrow apparently. And what is interesting is not that tomorrow Jesus returns because a preacher had de-coded the Bible and came up not only with the date, May 21, but the time as well, 6pm EST. As interesting as that is, even more so is the media coverage of this guy. I mean, Ive heard the dude speak on the news, and even someone with a third grade level of Bible understanding would realize he is wrong (now who knows, might Jesus return tomorrow at 6pm? Yeah he COULD, but not because this guy found the secret code), but I wonder why the media would choose to focus on THIS guy, with THIS message?

Why not spend the other 364 days focusing on preachers and teachers who offer forgiveness of sin, or feed the hungry, or visit prisoners, or take care of widows…you know what 99% of Christians do on a daily basis. Do Christians have issues, well uh yeah, we are still human after all, and fallen humans at that…but I find it funny the media always seems to decide to paint Christians with our lowest common denominators.
