Top Posts on New Blog!
Here are the top read posts on my newer blog:
Judge and Jury: A Confession
I am SO very sorry.
I have been judgmental where I should not have been.
I’m not sure for how long; but I have been. I have hurt a number of people over the years, friends who would do anything for me, friends who loved me unconditionally, in spite of my “convictions” or decisions. Read more...

How to Avoid Proof Texting (Part 1)
Church learders are the most guilty of creating beliefs that do not take into consideration ALL the scriptures on a certain topic. Usually they do this by “teaching” from a pre-conceived idea or a negative experience, or an opinion, which is already in place — and then they open the Bible.
In a previous post I mentioned “proof texting.” Read more...

Do you agree or disagree with your opinions??
My dad has put me in my place more times than anyone else on planet earth. And so it should be. But I’ll never forget the time he asked me the following question: “Son, do you agree or disagree with your own opinions?” Read more...

Back Alley of Judgementalism
If we are honest
we must admit there is a bit of all four roads in each of us.
It’s just not that black and white.

In the video below one of my favorite authors, Francis Chan, describes a new “middle road,” where Christians don’t have to really “DO” what Jesus did. Read more...

Love this Group and Song…AND the deep woods remix!
lyrics:
Your voice it thunders
The oaks start twisting
The forest sounds with cedars breaking
The waters see You and start their writhing
From the depths a song is rising
Now its rising from the ground
Holy, Holy
Holy, Holy Lord
The earth is Yours and singing
Holy, Holy
Holy, Holy Lord
The earth is Yours
The earth is Yours
Your voice it thunders
The ground is shaking
The mighty mountains now are trembling
Creation sees You
And starts composing
The fields and trees they start rejoicing.
Now its rising form the ground
Its rising from the ground
Hear us crying out
Hear us crying out
Holy, Holy
Holy, Holy Lord
The earth is Yours and singing
Holy, Holy
Holy, Holy Lord
The earth is Yours
The earth is Yours

"...in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love..."
2 Cor. 6:
3 We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. 4 Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; 5 in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; 6 in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; 7 in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; 8 through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; 9 known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; 10 sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
11 We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you. 12 We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us. 13 As a fair exchange—I speak as to my children —open wide your hearts also.
....
2 Cor. 7:2 Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one. 3 I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you have such a place in our hearts that we would live or die with you. 4 I have spoken to you with great frankness; I take great pride in you. I am greatly encouraged; in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds.

Jesus, You Are Worthy
erse
Jesus You are mercy
Jesus You are justice
Jesus You are worthy
That is what You are
You died alone to save me
You rose so You could raise me
You did this all to make me
A chosen child of God
Chorus
Worthy is the Lamb that once was slain
To receive all glory, pow’r, and praise
For with Your blood You purchased us for God
Jesus You are worthy. That is what You are
Bridge
Perfect sacrifce crushed by God for us
Bearing in Your hurt all that I deserve
Misjudged for my misdeeds, You suffered silently
The only guiltless man in all of history
Jesus You are worthy. That is what You are
Jesus You are worthy. That is what You are
Jesus You are mercy
Jesus You are justice
Jesus You are worthy
That is what You are
You died alone to save me
You rose so You could raise me
You did this all to make me
A chosen child of God
Chorus
Worthy is the Lamb that once was slain
To receive all glory, pow’r, and praise
For with Your blood You purchased us for God
Jesus You are worthy. That is what You are
Bridge
Perfect sacrifce crushed by God for us
Bearing in Your hurt all that I deserve
Misjudged for my misdeeds, You suffered silently
The only guiltless man in all of history
Jesus You are worthy. That is what You are

It's More Like Falling in Love!
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
2 Corinthians 5:14
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.

1 John 4:9
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
