“I used to be so paralyzed by feeling the need to be led by the Holy Spirit, that you would find me doing nothing. I’m telling you, we don’t need a ‘leading of the Spirit’. It says that the disciples went out and the Holy Spirit went along with them and confirmed the Word that they acted out. The Holy Spirit followed the disciples, confirming the word that they preached. See, we have...

two hours later, guess who calls and leaves a message saying i had been on his mind and he wanted to catch up.

The best time to preach the grace you speak about so passionately is with those fellow christians who disagree with you. How? Through your life lived.
Talk is cheap. The Gospel is not meant to be know by its doctrine, but by its passion. Its meant to be known by its passion because its not meant to be an incorporation into your life, but it’s meant to become your life.

how to change the world without trying to.
whizzpopping:
This is what I realized when I was still in high school: If I can influence one person, there’s no telling how they will influence another person because of what I have done… and that person they influence, I have no idea how many they will influence. A few people down the line, who knows? I might be influencing the next Steve Jobs, the next Jeremy Lin, the next President, the...

// In Christ, you preceded Adam. Before the galaxies were spoken into existence, before there was mountains high or valleys low, you existed in Him. All of history revolves around One: Jesus. The cross is not plan B. To be “predestined to the adoption as sons in Christ” means that at the dawning of time, The Father, Son, and Spirit saw the fall, saw the cross, saw what it would take...

"The Dark Side of God"
by C.S. Cowles On April 20th, 1999, two teenage boys shot 12 of their fellow high school students and a teacher before turning the guns on themselves. One of these students was Cassie Bernal, 17, who was shot to death while reading her Bible in the school library. The day after the shooting, Cassie’s mother told reporters that the shooting somehow fit into God’s larger plan. “In order to get...

One Victoria’s Secret angel might be turning her back on lingerie modeling but she’s not giving up her wings.
Model Kylie Bisutti, 21, has decided to leave Victoria’s Secret because it clashes with her Christian beliefs.
“My body should only be for my husband and it’s just a sacred thing,” Bisutti told FOX411′s Pop Tarts column. “I didn’t really want to be that kind of role model for...

Isn’t it interesting how our perspective has drastically changed from a God who came TO us, to us having to “do do do” to get to Him?
Isn’t it interesting how 2,000 years ago God was the One who healed everyone, but 2,000 forward He causes sickness, disease, and death?
Isn’t it interesting how God pursued us through the sea of our darkness and dived right into our sin, but now...

i would propose that Jesus didn’t come, die, conquer all evil, & be raised again because he hated the devil, his evil doings, and wanted to destroy his kingdom… but that Jesus came, died, conquered all evil, & was raised again because He is love, and loved us so immensely that He wanted the very best for us: freedom in Him.

do you preach what you believe because it is different & controversial, pushes religious buttons, & demolishes the devil’s kingdom?
or do you preach what you believe because you love those you’re speaking to?
do you try to correct those who disagree with you because you’re right? (i mean, there’s bountiful fruit to prove it..)
or do you speak with those who...

I would propose that God is not raising up Elijah’s, Daniel’s, Esther’s, John the Baptists, or David’s. God is raising up people who will be like Christ. He has not commissioned us to be like Anna or Joseph, He’s commissioned us to be ambassadors of Christ. We are a body with many parts, but it is the body of Christ. The call is to be imitators of God, not imitators...

And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?”
But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village.

loveismycommandment:
It’s hard to be lonely and single in college.
Especially on the weekends.
I look around at all the hook ups, one night stands, and relationships going on all around me.
It’s in these times that I can hear the voice of the enemy whispering, ‘It would be so easy. What are you waiting for? You’ve never kissed a girl before, right? Why not try it just to see what it’s...
