I am like a child lost at the mall
Though my eyes can be drawn to the bright and shiny things
And my nostrils filled with the smells of sticky treats
And my ears tickled with the festive sounds
My heart yearns to find my Father
And to abide in the warmth of His presence

Thought for the Day – Passionate
Posted in Thought for the Day / Quotes, tagged passion, passionate on November 4, 2019| Leave a Comment »
God certainly loves to use passionate people, but sometimes our passion can work against us. In Matthew, chapter 16, we see Peter go both ways in quick succession. In 16:17 we see him praised for his discernment of the Messiah, but just a few short passages later (16:23) we hear the Lord say, “Get thee behind me Satan”. I would like to suggest that the same passion fueled Peter in both instances, but the difference was the source of his information. In the first instance the Lord said that this wasn’t revealed by flesh and blood, but by my Father. In the second, the Lord scolded Peter for having his mind on “merely human concerns”. We passionate followers of God must be mindful of this when our passions are stirred and we have the urge to speak.

Thought for the Day – Uncomplicated
Posted in Free Verse / Poetry, Thought for the Day / Quotes, tagged complicated theologies on October 16, 2019| Leave a Comment »
Beware of those who come with complicated, layered theologies, which require all kinds of specialized skills and knowledge in order to gain access to the things of the kingdom. This is a predictable tact that men take to elevate themselves in the eyes of others. Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” He then added, “whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Hear your Father bid to you, “come up here”.
