In order to share God’s heart with people (Matt.28:19-20)
I must first have God’s heart for people
In order to have God’s heart for people (John 13:34-35)
I must be connected to God’s heart (John 15:5)
In order to stay connected to God’s heart
I must be willing to forfeit the prejudices of my own heart (Matt.16:24-26)
If I am not doing that on a daily basis,
I will simply promote the way that seems right to me (Prov.14:12)
And try to justify it with Jesus’ name (Matt.7:21-23)

A safe place to recover one’s strength, and/or to regain one’s perspective, and/or to make a plan, would rightfully be considered a “refuge”. A place to avoid one’s problems and/or responsibilities, would more accurately be referred to as a “hideout”. In athletic terms, it is the difference between a timeout and a forfeit.

The spirit of this age wants you to be angry
So that you’ll miss the joy that is your strength
The spirit of this age wants you to know that you’re a victim
So that you will be defined by the most painful moments of your life
The spirit of this age wants you to make your voice heard
So that the still small voice of God is drowned out
The spirt of this age wants you to fight for control
So that you will exhaust yourself chasing the unattainable
The spirit of this age wants you to be offended
So that you’ll withhold the grace that can change lives
The spirit of this age wants your hope invested in the wisdom of men
So that you can be crushingly disappointed again and again
The spirit of this age wants you to go to extremes
So that you’ll miss the straight pathway, which prepares the way of the Lord
The spirit of this age want you focused on what is seen
So that you’ll forfeit the provision that’s been made in the unseen realm
The spirit of this age has a narrative to fill your mouth
So that you will forsake speaking words of life
The spirit of this age wants you to be religious
So that you can feel righteous in your indignation
