I heard this the other day...
...and it was awesome!
"Doctrine doesn't save us, Jesus does!"
I think it's easy for 'mature' Christians (or those that think they are mature) to get so focused on doctrine or theology that they miss Jesus. Yes, theology and doctrine are very important but we shouldn't be like the church in Ephesus that had "forsaken" their first love (Rev. 2:4). We are not called to be experts on theology, we are called to LEARN CHRIST! If we focus on Christ the rest will automatically come ("Seek first the Kingdom of God and all things will be added to you"). God has been pressing this very heavily on my heart lately and I just figured I'd share. God is so incredibly good to a people so incredibly unworthy! To God be the Glory!

love.
God loves us so much that he sent his Son to take ALL our punishment and then gave us the Spirit so we would know how to live...we don't have to do anything but abide. Oh how quickly we get such a simple thing twisted.
Abba, Thank you for being so patient and so incredibly good to your children!

God's been blowing up my mind lately
I would have tweeted this but it was longer than 140 characters...
Jesus doesn't react to death, Death reacts to Jesus. If Jesus was simply a reaction to death then death would be in control but because of the cross death can do nothing in the presence of Jesus but surrender!
If I'm still experiencing death then I'm not in the presence of Jesus, something's in the way.

Good Song
"Salus Suas Extanderealas Concedit"
Condemned to a bed
Where you held your head
High enough to smile
I wish I had your strength
Asking God,
"Please don't take her
Away from me."
"God where were you
When I needed you the most?
She lived her life with grace
And I'll live my life with love for You."
I knew him well
He would have gave his life for me
He laid in a hallway
I found salvation perfectly
Your death was my grace
You led me back to faith
I hope he knows that he took that weight away
I hope he knows that he took my pain away
Hear my cry, Oh God
I call as my heart grows faint
Hear my cry, Oh God
I call as my heart grows faint
Hear my cry, Oh God
I call as my heart grows faint
Hear my cry, Oh God
I call as my heart grows faint
Condemned to a bed
Where you held your head
High enough to smile
I wish I had your strength
Asking God,
"Please don't take her
Away from me."
"God where were you
When I needed you the most?
She lived her life with grace
And I'll live my life with love for You."
I knew him well
He would have gave his life for me
He laid in a hallway
I found salvation perfectly
Your death was my grace
You led me back to faith
I hope he knows that he took that weight away
I hope he knows that he took my pain away
Hear my cry, Oh God
I call as my heart grows faint
Hear my cry, Oh God
I call as my heart grows faint
Hear my cry, Oh God
I call as my heart grows faint
Hear my cry, Oh God
I call as my heart grows faint

This may make me a bad Christian...
...but this is what I want to do to the song "I Can Only Imagine". The radio station at work plays it at least 3 times a day...I guess people have to get there Christian fix but it's costing me my sanity!!!
