No one would ever agree to this would they? Maybe One?
The story below is totally fictional. Maybe. Nothing even remotely like this could ever happen. No one would ever agree to this. I don’t think. It’s based on a true story. Although that last statement can’t be proven, I believe it’s true. It’s almost beyond belief. And yet…

Does Jesus want to carry us when times are tough?
Does Jesus want to carry us when times are tough? This question is like those tests where we’re supposed to pick the “best” answer. And “yes” is not the best answer! I used to think it was, but I learned that it really isn’t. There is one answer that’s better – although there are several answers that could start with “no, He wants …”
Curious? Confused?
Let me try to help straighten out this question.

What’s the meaning of life? Or is life meaningless?
What’s the meaning of life? Or is life meaningless? Those are questions that lots of people ask at various stages of our life. It’s maybe most important though as we get older. We wonder, was it all worthwhile. Or maybe even feel like our life wasn’t worthwhile. Could we have done things differently? Better? And maybe we wonder, what comes next?

What else does God want from us?
What else does God want from us? Since it says what else, obviously this isn’t the only thing God wants from us. Further, since this is part two, this is, possibly, the second thing God wants from us. Something that comes after we love God. Any ideas about what it is?

Are The Gates of Hell Locked From The Inside?
Are The Gates of Hell Locked From The Inside? The first time I wrote about this, I said yes. The second time, I updated it to say yes, but I thought some Christians can’t relate to the concept of not wanting to be with God. This time, many years later, I’m not sure some (many?) Christians even know what it means to be with God.

What does God want from us?
What does God want from us? When we pray, we often ask God for all sorts of things. And we’re often disappointed if we don’t get everything we wanted – NOW! Have you ever thought about it the other way around? What do you think He wants from us? And do you think maybe He’s disappointed when we fail to give Him what He wants?

But I was certain that evil existed
Evil Exists: “Only minutes ago I doubted anything that might be called supernatural; now I knew that I had been naive. I knew neither the extent of it nor the means by which to deal with it, but I was certain that evil existed. I had come face-to-face with it and survived long enough to know at least that much.” from “Immanuel’s Veins” by Ted Dekker

If you want to walk on water … expect a storm
If you want to walk on water … expect a storm. If you want to walk on water is the beginning of a great John Ortberg book. His book title ended with You’ve got to get out of the boat. I borrowed the first part but switched out the ending to expect a storm.
However, there’s part of that “getting out of the boat” that isn’t always so obvious.
Or maybe it is obvious. But we choose to ignore it? I expect it’s the latter. We want to ignore it.
