I’ve observed over the years that “Domesticated” Christians abhor Risk, Faith, + Adventure + settle for a life that is boring, mundane + ordinary. It’s safe but decaffinated. Who’s attracted to that??
@AmyKlutinoty@LisaBevere I completely agree with this. It is so so sad. @LisaBevere we value all that you have lived out and given out so that many can find freedom xx
Security in the earthly context will always be temporal and fleeting. True security comes only from God and is immovable, from everlasting to everlasting.
You effectiveness is not bound up in the next good idea you have but rather the next word from God you act on.
God loves obedience rather than sacrifice!
Legalism and liberalism are the same cancer - they are both a denial of the sufficiency of scripture. Liberalism masquerades as love and claims that scripture goes too far. Legalism masquerades as holiness and claims that scripture doesn't go far enough. Reject both.
The disciples wanted Jesus to stay because what they had in front of them was their total revelation, not wanting to let go of the now. They never realized that by letting go, it would change the world.
Its the same with us ...just let go!
You can't hate the FRUIT if you don't also hate the ROOT. God stands adamantly against everything that undermines love and debases those He created in His image. If we are to follow Him in truth, we should too. #AdamantBook
