A current Christian obsession


Where you are is currently God’s will for you.  Many will balk at that statement.  But consider the use of the word “currently.  Do you disbelieve that the God who made an iron axe head float on water can make you a holy and perfect man or woman?  But you are where you and everyone else finds you.

What is all this chatter about finding yourself or finding God’s will for you or becoming something you are not?   James tells us we do not have because we do not ask God.  And until we ask with right motives it is God’s will that we sit and stew on it.  Yes while we still on it don’t you think God is actively working on our behalf according to His will? 

What shall we say about those who have right motives but find them selves in a place they do not expect to be.  Wouldn’t it be safer to challenge the expectation rather than God?   Where is patient endurance?

We are told not to worry.  So why, of all possible things, do we find ourselves worrying about God’s will for us?  It is God who said don’t worry! Where is the joy in the journey?  Where is the witness that says our God is able and willing to save us?

So stop already, with this foolish appraisal of our obedience to a will we cannot hope to know!  Let us instead return to our first love.  Not the love of work and direction, but the love that Christ instilled in us at the salvation of our souls and the forgiveness of sins.

This obsession with work has gone on far too long in the body of Christ!

Audacious Hope


In 2007 President Obama (then candidate) said, “Science will save us”.  Curiously that remark has been stricken from the media from the moment he said it until now.

Some might have called that audacious  hope.   But they would have been wrong.  That has been the hope of America for at least a hundred years.

As it has been so it will always be,  audacious hope is the hope we have in Christ Jesus; that despite the chaos of this world we dare to hope in a loving God

Pop Christianity


“You will learn of Me from Hollywood,  The Learning Channel, National Geographic, bar room conjecture, your friend’s hearsay and Christian professionals.”

Is that what Jesus said?  It must be.  That’s what people believe isn’t it? 

Or did He command us to seek His ways personally with ALL our heart, soul, mind, body and strength?  Nah, that can’t be right!  That’s far too labor intensive. 

Yeah.  How bout that?
