thoughts of late

30Sep2010
Where resources exceed purpose, waste is unavoidable.  Purpose makes a way for resources to rightfully be put to work.

If we have more resources, it will not make our purpose arise.  If we arise in our purpose, the necessary resources will come.

There is enough vanity around to keep us indefinitely occupied throughout the entire span of our life, and completely fruitless.  Ouch.

What if the primary purpose of this life is to give us an opportunity to enter into Christlikeness?  No matter what our final accounting is, if we pass through life and neglect or ignore this opportunity, we will utterly fail.  Help us Lord to say yes to this our largest of opportunities.

We are at the beginning, or at least the early stages of, a transition that will completely transform Christ's body in the earth.  We will become something new.  I think of Jesus' quote where He says He has come to send fire on the earth, and how He wishes that it were already kindled.  We are about to enter that fire (of transformation).

I am saddened by some things around me these days.  Wanting the best and highest for people can sometimes be conflicting.  Clearly, people have to decide for themselves what this is, and they are the ones who will be responsible for the outcome.  Lord, open our eyes and our hearts to go farther into You.

The Pitfalls of Social Media Promise

Recently read this…  have a glance at the link below.  Makes me think of old motivators and animators in new costumes, “re-branded” to mislead the many…

The Social Media Bubble

Sounds like clarity to me!

Feel differently?  Let somebody know… as they say, open rebuke is better than secret love~!

Change

change from earthen vessels

We are being invited into something new in God. It doesn’t look much like what is, and it doesn’t look much like what has come before. There are few who see it, and fewer who enter, tho it is being felt and is stirring in the hearts of many. More would enter, but forerunners are needed to make the way for others to come. Will you be one of those?

I am having the sense that this is bigger than i thought early on, or maybe just how I have thought about it lately. There seems to be a fair amount of turbulence, resistance, that is attempting to prevent access to the promise of change, this groaning promise of something new. How can we be sure that our pursuit will bring us to where we are hoping to go, when the trail is not well marked, there are many detractors, and others prominent who market false hope?

Luke 18:25 In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”

Is it that we have to take off everything that we have put on, accumulated?

As we enter the Kingdom more and more, we lose affection for and entanglement with the things of this life. The verse above reveals the idea that abundance creates many entanglements. Whatever our entanglements, their value can not be compared to the value of His Kingdom, tho it takes the eye of faith to see it as it is.

Is the threat of losing what we accumulated worth the promise of something transcendent, but elusive? People are making this decision every day. Make it well today.
