Don’t set yourself up to play with something that will grow to something that can kill and maim you.

Both beats in our ears make promises, promises of fulfillment and of satisfaction. But only one has the power to keep and deliver on its promises. 

We should be so dependent on God that our first ingrained action should be to pray to Him when times get tough or even when we start a new day. 

We walk around incomplete or empty, longing to once again be complete in God.

When we overthink our faith we tend to have some really bad thoughts and go places God never said to go with those thoughts.

The disconnect happens when we forget who we are in Christ and choose to live in our old ways of self-reliance, self-determination, and self-rule.

We long for the whitewashed memories to be a present reality.

We are living in a society that is becoming more isolated from each other.

There is more to it than just the pattern, but the pattern sets us up and supports the truth. 

We should all seek to know the story of the Bible, not as simple facts, but as a vivid living story that we find our place within.
