Prayer Is Not So Much About Convincing

Rather Than Finding The Devil "out There," We Battle The Devil Within Us. The Revolution Starts Inside Each Of Us.

I Don't Know If You've Read The Bible, And If You Haven't, I Think You May Be In A Better Place Than Those Of Us Who Have Read It So Much That It Has Become Stale.

There Are Some  -  called 'death Fatigue'  -  people Who Just Grow So Tired Of Death, So They Don't Want To Keep Perpetuating Death And Creating More Victims And More Anger And More Pain. They Want To Heal From That, And I Think That's Exactly What God Wants To Do. And, Interestingly Enough, That's Part Of What God's Original Law Was Doing With The 'eye For An Eye' Thing. It Was Actually To Limit The Patterns Of Retaliation And Then To Begin To Heal From That.

Most Of The Ugliness In The Human Narrative Comes From A Distorted Quest To Possess Beauty. Coveting Begins With Appreciating Blessings: Murder Begins With A Hunger For Justice. Lust Begins With A Recognition Of Beauty. Gluttony Begins When Our Enjoyment Of The Delectable Gifts Of God Starts To Consume Us. Idolatry Begins When Our Seeing A Reflection Of God In Something Beautiful Leads To Our Thinking That The Beautiful Image Bearer Is Worthy Of Worship.

We've Heard From People All Around The World, Telling Us That This Is Their Reality. People Need A Way To Connect The Sometimes Really Hard Reality In Which They Wake Up Each Morning With The Movement Of The Spirit.
