Don’t Give Up Your Dreams To Love God
When I was younger, I thought that if I was going to be a real Christian, I would have to give up all the creative interests I had to follow God. Continue reading
It’s Time To Love Yourself
We’re told to love our neighbors as ourselves. There are some neighbors who are in big trouble because a lot of people hate who they are. Continue reading
Caught Doing The Right Thing
Every so often we’re given a glimpse of ourselves that we’d rather not see. We see our darker side, the side we don’t like to admit that we have. Some people show that darker side a lot more often than they realize.
When I see that in myself, I cringe and make declarations that I will change. And for a while, I make great efforts to be better than I am. But it never lasts. Continue reading
Conviction Isn’t Guilt
I know I’ve been guilty of this. I sit in church or listen to someone talk about feeding the poor and I think to myself, I haven’t done that. Continue reading
Who Is God?
We’ve been taught to believe that God is a concept, that He is love–an emotion, or a power figure too remote for us mere humans to understand. Continue reading

Did One God Become Three People?
I have a theory. I think that in the beginning, beginning, God was one, as in no Son, no Holy Spirit.
He was alone and He had this dream of creating a kingdom where we would live with Him in love and joy forever. He knew from that first thought that we would need help to do that, so He split Himself into three people. He’s God, He can do anything.
First, He spoke to those He called as prophets to hear His voice and set guidelines for how we should live. Then He sent His Son to model how we should live and make a way for us to live in His kingdom forever. Then He sent His Holy Spirit to give us the power and authority to live as the Son lived.
Paul says of Jesus, He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. (Col 1:15)
Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God. He has seen the Father. (Jhn 6:46)
Jesus said to him, Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Phillip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father. (Jhn 14:9)
I like the idea that God fell in love with us while we were still a dream. And to make that dream happen, He changed His very nature for us. His plan of salvation goes back before the foundations of the earth. It’s the love story that keeps getting better and better.

Religion Stinks
Religion is not the same as knowing God
I know, that’s a little strong, but it’s true. Continue reading
