I've been going to this new church the past two Sundays called Fellowship, and the pastors there have been remarkable at seeming to know exactly what I should hear.
Some of it is just too wonderful not to share:
There is no way we can ever rationalize our way to understanding God. If the base of our knowledge and relationship with God is not all about His glory - doing everything for His glory - then the rest will be easily knocked down.
God is not a giant teddy bear of love and happiness. His glory is the most powerful and fearful, but His love allows us to be with Him despite ourselves. We cannot put our human rules and regulations on God. We are the light of the world, but the light is not ours - we are a reflection of God's light.
If you come to God with a true heart, God unleashes all of Himself on you for the power of your salvation because His glory is at stake.
We were designed to be filled with passion and desire by God. But we try to be filled by our culture instead, and we will never feel full because we do not have what we were DESIGNED to have without God.
There is nothing wrong with your need for love, it is where you go to get it. We were made to impact the world, whether it's to be a singer or a gardener or a filmmaker or making socks. But it cannot be on human terms or it will never be enough. Our lives must be on God's terms.
How our culture works: !!!!!LUST!!!!!!GREED!!!!!!PRIDE!!!!!!! could be a problem...
