Vital information and articles related to Spirituality.Inner-Tubing With God: Understanding Gods Ways
It is so obvious that God works and thinks on atotally different level than we do. I have spentmost of my life in my left logical side of mybrain trying to figure out God, people, events andreason. Only to be left frustrated, irritated andemotionally dehydrated. What makes it mostinteresting is, we look back and the flow of ourlives makes perfect sense and in God's perfecttiming. The question is, "Is it possible to livein a state of mind where we just go with God'sflow, without trying to grab hold and figure lifeout our way? The bible says it is. "The ways ofGod are without fault. The Lord's words are pure.He is a shield to those who trust him." Psalm18:30. I love inner tubing down a river. You have nocontrol of what direction you face, the currentsets your pace and you are directed by nature'sobstacles through the water. While you haveabsolutely no say in your destiny down the riverthere is such a comfort sitting on that tubefloating on top of the waves feeling that powerfulbody of water underneath you. A question I ask myself is, "Why do I even think Ineed to understand God's ways?" Do we think ourways are better? Sure we do at times. Do we needto think about how we are going to get down thatriver the most effective way on that tube?Absolutely not. We just know in our hearts if westay on that tube(word of God) we will have a funand interesting ride down the river and eventuallyget taken to where we want to go. When we finally get to the point where we fullycomprehend and ACCEPT the fact that God's ways arenot our ways, and our plans are not better thanGod's, we tend to enjoy the river of life more andlook forward to the journey ahead withoutuncertainty. There's a chance God is working in your life abovewater or in the currents below right this verysecond. Do you need to fully understand what he isdoing? Probably not! Grab that inner tube, get ontop along side God(study the word) hold on intrust and let the river of his Holy Spirit giveyou a ride of a lifetime this week.And what's even more fun is taking someone withyou!!!

The Flow Of Money The more we worry about money, and who's asking for it, and why their asking, and should they be asking, and should I be listening, and judging others, then judging their ideas and their work and their very existence.. The Jabbok Experience Jacob had sent his family on across the river Jabbok. Now he's alone in the night with the river; this smooth talking, manipulating, deceiving Jacob. The Importance of Honoring Mothers and Fathers With another year full of family events coming upon us, those of us that are lucky enough to have parents to honor will celebrate Mother's and Father's Day.

Whose son is he?" --MATTHEW 22:42, NCVAfter three years of ministry, hundreds of miles, thousands of miracles, and innumerable teachings, Jesus asks, "Who?"

Is He a figment of our imagination?When we ask that question about Santa, the answer is the culmination of our desires. Psychic Vampires, and How to Cope with Them! Forget what you have read or seen about vampires. The old image of count Dracula, or even his modern contempories is not what we are going to talk about here. Choose Life or Death No one, not even God can make us choose the right things. He gave us the freedom of choice where our own lives are concerned. The Best Laid Plans We all know that the best laid plans of mice and men sometimes go awry, so we shouldn't be surprised when the best laid lifeplans go awry, too.What "looks good on paper" doesn't always look as good when it comes up in your life, especially if - like so many of our learning experiences - the person or the situation that we're dealing with proves to be less than a positive experience.

A Fresh Perspective on the Drive to Lead (part 1) So, none of us arrived with an Owner's Manual, neatly referenced to enable us to look up our ails, appreciate where we are, and, understand what is next. We expected its indelible validation to enable us to navigate some of the more fearful and exhilarating moments in our lives. Acknowledging Emotions and Feelings We'll begin with a question:What is a moral?I'd say it's something you have an intense feeling or emotion about, generally so intense you would never cross its boundary.Agree?Have you ever crossed a moral boundary?
