Crazy Busy Life

Well on a personal note, working a full-time job and commuting is much more exhausting then one would think. For this reason, I have barely enough time to breath let alone write. I need to better utilize my time. We'll see how that goes.

Several topics and ideas have gone through this brain of mine and are still marinating. I'm not going to go into detail about any of them because I don't have it all thought out enough but I'll give some teasers ;)

One thought that has been on my mind for a couple weeks now has to do with truth and how we tend to prove the truth. Something that bothers me more than anything else is when someone puts down another church from the pulpit... There's a lot of thoughts that spur from that thought. See where your mind takes you.

I also wonder sometimes what God thinks about us using the phrase "That's not biblical." Can something really be biblical or not biblical? That's a tough one to dive into. I guess I just wonder what God meant the bible to be for us. Something tells me it isn't a handbook, even though people tend to refer to it as so.

More recently I've been thinking about how when things or people are different from us, we automatically jump to saying they are wrong. If you love God differently then I do and I'm doing it the right way, the way I read and understood it in the bible, then you are wrong. It couldn't be that there is more than one way to love God or that there are different ways to show your love to God, different acts of service and worship.

What it all comes down to, is that God is turning my world upside down these days.
I'm seeking more. I'm questioning. I'm learning.

What remains?

God is love.
Love serves.
Love forgives.
God lives in us.


So what should we look like?
