Verse of the Day Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. —1 John 3:18

What is it??

What is it that drives someone to not talk to someone, or not be associated with them all together, just because they are different? What is it inside of them that says that this is okay? Is it a fear that their fellow white, straight, church members will judge them? Is it a fear that God will judge them? Is it because someone different makes them “uncomfortable?” God tells us to love everyone, to be nice to one another. Not just Christianity but the majority of religions tell us to love one another. So what is the problem? It is NOT okay that I know so many people, that do not get to talk to certain friends or family anymore just because that friend or family is not okay with them being different. I heard the other day that the opposite of love is not hate, but fear. So what in the world are you so afraid of? Sorry for the rant.

The natural/easy way of fighting for equality/justice is to dehumanize dehumanizers. But perhaps we could find a way to transcend that cycle. This is why I think it’s so important to learn to see the humanity of people who are not only outside of your tribe, but opposed to it. This is what I think ‘love your enemies’ is about. Until you can see the humanity of your enemy, you cannot hope to love them.

fight the flesh;;

whatever it may be – laziness, anger, lust, slander, judgment, pride, or what ever more – we have the power to overcome, not from ourselves, but from the Spirit

I hear a lot of people saying, “I don’t feel God anymore.” And there’s a lot of guilt there, like they’re not trying hard enough. But “not-feeling-God” doesn’t make you a bad Christian: just an honest one. And maybe our baseline for “feeling-Him” got messed up with a false foundation.Maybe when Life Got Hard, no one taught you a clear theology on pain. Maybe no one mentioned that seasons of doubt, suffering, and detachment are regular valleys in a believer’s life.Those are also the EXACT times we go to God and tell Him everything. To even say, “I don’t feel you right now, God.” You can tell Him that.Most of us think we’ve failed God when we don’t feel Him, when it’s actually that feeling of His absence that can either push you to Him or from Him. He’d much rather it be to Him.

If you ask God to lead you, don’t be surprised when He leads you to make sacrifices, when He leads you to dark times, when He leads you to uncomfortable situations. It’s those things that make us want to cling closer to God.

When God is leading you, the pathway you’re traveling will invariably bring you closer to Him.
