 God Sees You – Right Where You Are

Let me ask you this: “When was the last time you glanced in the mirror and thought, “Well, there’s a masterpiece!” If you’re anything like me, you’re probably more familiar with thinking, “Who is that tired person, and why do they have my face?” But here’s the real deal, my friends: whether you love the reflection in that mirror or avoid it like it’s a bad selfie, God sees you. I mean really…

Steps Made Easy to become God's Child

To make this easier for you let me put it in steps: We hear God’s Word We believe God’s Word We repent of our sins We become baptized in the Holy Spirit who seals us. Once we are baptized, we do not change . . . we do not change overnight or immediately. Though some do! Many of us have a transition to a new life and for many of us it takes time to see or recognize all the wrongs and bad…

Set Up for Failure / Authoritarian Parenting

Lately I’ve been mulling over the thought or concept of how fundie families set their children up for failure. I can’t speak to a wider or societal understanding of the concept, but I can speak to my own experiences. Much of my criticism comes from how children in fundamentalism are instructed to deal with authority figures. More specifically, how children are taught blind obedience to authority…

Depencence on God

Psalm 131. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever. There is some controversy over the time in David’s life when this psalm was…

The Believers' Adoption Into God's Family

As those who have been redeemed by the blood of Christ, we have been transferred from Satan’s “domain of darkness” (Col 1:13) and placed into the family of God. Our new status is as “children of God” (John 1:12; cf., Rom 8:16; Phil 2:15). John wrote, “See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are” (1 John 3:1a). We do not come into…

A Wonder-Filled Life

In 1921, the Taggert Baking Company of Indianapolis was about to launch its 1.5 pound loaf of bread. Elmer Cline was charged with finding a name for the new bread. Inspiration struck while he was visiting the International Balloon Race at the Indianapolis Speedway. He was awestruck by a sky filled with hundreds of colorful balloons. To Elmer, the image signified a sense of “wonder,” and Wonder®…

Life Lessons

It may not have occurred to you before, but life is a learning adventure. We have this life that we may experience and grow and learn and more often than we may think, unlearn. Living life each day affords us almost endless opportunities to learn new things. Our learning is certainly not confined to childhood. And as part of our experiences and situations and circumstances, we are presented with…

Going Low Contact

Generational cycles and childhood abuse.

CW for discussion of childhood abuse I’m choosing to skip out on winter / fall holiday celebrations with my family this year. My last visit with them was a bit emotionally stressful and highlighted some long-term family problems. Some of those problems center around my dad and how he chose to treat me and my siblings as children. In the post I linked above I talked about how physical violence…

David Wore the Whole Armor of God. Do you know how?

Fun fact: David, when fighting against Goliath, was actually dressed in his full armor of God. He actually had on all 7 pieces of his full armor and used his battle cry. Yet when we think of David going up against Goliath we picture a boy with a slingshot. The full armor of God is listed at Ephesians 6:14-18 (with the exception of one piece that wasn’t listed by the Apostle Paul). How did…
