Real Hope

Hope is like nothing else. If you don't have hope you have despair. Real hope is tied to a vision of something bigger and grander than what you have in the present. Hope comes from God, not government or anyone else. We can read that "No eye has seen, nor ear has heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God will do for those who love Him". Think about it. No eye...not even one, nor any ear. It hasn't even entered into the heart, the conscience thought of man what God will do... God will do it! He will accomplish His plans for those who love Him. Oh God may I fix my eyes upon you, the author and finisher of my faith. I find hope, rest, peace, and strength in you.

Jesus is my friend!!!

Emerging Church part 2

Emerging Church?

You may or may not be aware of the term or "movement" called "The Emerging Church". Many refer to not as a movement but as a conversation that is happening within the "evangelical" church. This video is a start.

(This is a Desiring God (the ministry headed up by John Piper) interview with Mark Driscoll before he spoke at their 2006 pastors’ conference)

Real hope is necessary.

Anger

Confession. If you were to ask me if I had a problem with anger I would probable say no. BUT I do. I have a problem with anger. I cover it well most of the time. To look at me you might not realize it but it's there.

God, just one more thing to add to the list. Please fill me with your Spirit. May I surrender to you and not to my flesh. I need you, please help me.

That's My King!
