@PicturesFoIder I raised 6 kids. You’ve got stuff on that grocery list that ain’t food. Cut out the processed junk and drinks other than water.
You just reduced your grocery bill by half.
The Audacity of Calling God “Father”
If I call God “God” I speak truthfully.
If I call God “Lord” I speak submissively.
If I call God “King” I speak servilely.
But if I dare to call God “my Father,” I speak with a brassy audacity, chutzpah, that is shockingly familiar and intimate. So it seems anyway.
You dare to call the Master of the Universe “Father”?
You dare to call the One who controls heaven and hell “Father”?
You call the Omnipotent one “Father”?
Who do you think you are?
It is difficult to imagine a more audacious act than to stand before the Creator of the world and to name him “Father.” And mean it. And not only to mean it, but to act and speak as a child acts and speaks before a loving and doting Dad.
It’s shocking. It’s exhilarating.
And it’s beautiful beyond words.
But here’s a secret: it’s not really chutzpah. It’s not some brassy boldness that we work ourselves into, nor it is gained by swallowing a bottle of liquid spiritual courage, as it were.
To call God “Father” is simply to live in the space which Jesus created. To move from residing far from God as his enemy; or on the other side of town from him as a stranger; or down the street as an acquaintance; or in an adjoining house as a servant; and to move into our own bedroom as a child in his family. To wake up in the morning and see our Father sipping a cup of coffee and saying, “Good morning, my child,” as we respond, “Good morning, Father.”
You see, when we live in this house, when we move into the room built by Jesus, we inhabit the home not merely of a Master or Lord or King, but the one who’s given us his name and made us his own, now and forever.
“Our Father”: two of the most amazing words ever uttered.
Italy just launched “Family Pride 2023 We Defend Our Children” to counter the degeneracy and lunacy of Pride Month. 🇮🇹
We need this movement in America. 🇺🇸🙏🏼
LET'S RECAP. The Dems have doubled down on stealing elections. They know it's their ONLY way to "win", since their policies are as nakedly disastrous as anyone can imagine. If you say they are stealing elections, they will call you names. But it's true. So keep saying it. LOUDLY.
