Sips on Sunday reflects on the perfect character & qualities of Jesus as outlined in the Bible to assist you in connecting with & nurturing your Spiritual Self.
Teaching relationship with Jesus means teaching humans how to find Him in their sweets AND their sours of life - how to connect through their humanness with their spirit and THE Spirit in any moment.
The next time you find yourself highly reactive or triggered by someone or something, ask yourself this question: “What aspects of my false self are being threatened and what unhealthy attachments of my false self might God be seeking to dismantle?”
You do not have in mind on the concerns of God, but merely human concerns. Matt. 16:23
The spiritual journey with Jesus takes us inward and downward. We prefer to go outward and upward. It’s easier.
That is a gigantic problem for us as well as those we love and serve.
The dominant form violence takes in in our culture is speed because it warps who God made us to be and what he has uniquely given us to do. Out of that God just might unleash a church culture revolution!

What if your fear of God moved from being afraid of Him to being afraid of not seeing with abundant depth and clarity His heart and love for you?

Waiting for God to save you?
He already did. Now it’s time for you to peel off the layers that prevent you from trusting it’s been done.

“God is testing me.”
What if...
the devil is testing your trust in your God; wondering just how hard he needs to push you before your connection with God is severed?

The truth that sets us free, very often, first makes us miserable.
Take this 15 min. assessment to discern if you're an emotional infant, child, adolescent or adult. It may initially be painful, but true spirituality is about meeting God in truth & reality https://t.co/aUacCFEibM
An over concern with externals and an under concern with cultivating deep roots-- in God, ourselves, our family, our local community & our church -- leads to all kinds of trouble.
Simon Weil the great French thinker, whom I have been studying, captures it well.
Whenever the church has aligned herself politically to the right or left in 2000 years of church history, it has ALWAYS led to disaster (ask any well-qualified church historian). The very divided USA church, of which I am a part, has a very big problem.
