The 2 Greatest

You can't believe God into existence, but you can't DISbelief Him out of existence either.  Do you believe in the God who IS?

Have you ever watched someone make choices you knew what going to do serious damage to his or her life?  Of course you have!  Why don't we just make better choices?  Why are we sometimes, as dumb as demons?

Throughout the Old and New Testaments, God followers could be honest to God about their feelings of abandonment and unfair treatment. Read the Psalms or Job.  But let's look deeper at what is ALWAYS true, even in the hard times.

We need one another.  And that need can turn into unhealthy dependency if we expect too much from one person and don't see the beautiful tapestry of friends.

Are you a sinner?  What verse would you point to that points that out?  But have you read the WHOLE verse?  Exactly what have we fallen short OF and why does that matter?

Hands up!  Who wants a seven year old operating on you?  No? Why not?  Yet often we want to do surgery on others, acting like a seven year old surgeon!

I'm all for lots of people praying for a specific concern. YES!  By all means!  But NOT because I think prayer is magic or manipulation of the Master.  Prayer isn't twisting God's arm.

We live in a "I want it right now" culture.  That means we often aren't very patient with ourselves or others.  But, God loves process. 

Is there a person in your life who has always had your back.  Do you have an advocate?  If you're a believer, YOU DO!

It's easy to want it both ways, to have your cake and eat it too.  But when it comes to faith, you have to pick a lane or you just might wreck.  There is a yes AND no of faith.
