Misplaced & Forgotten

There is apart of myself that I have seemed to misplace or have just forgotten altogether. Important things can be misplaced sometimes. Even important people can be forgotten. I don’t know how or why it happens, but I do know that if it is important enough to you, you will always find a way to find it.

Catch & release

I don’t have time for you now, but then again I never did. I’ve grown accustomed to catching my thoughts rather than releasing them instead.

it’s a battle.

i am your fix; the choice begins

i am your answer; says my sin

i am your first love; i’ve already won

i am your bridegroom; proves my redemption

All I want is to be able to love You like You love me.
You unveiled my eyes so that I could believe.
You took my place even while I was drowning in unbelief
Lord, show me how to love You like You love me

I am so tired

How about we love God with our ACTIONS & not only our words.

Yes, Jesus loves you. But he HATES sin. You can not be close with God when you see nothing wrong with your sin. Sin separates you from God. That’s what it does.

You want to go ahead & keep posting things about your sexual life & turn around and talk about how much you love God. Are you even reading His word? The sexually immoral will NOT inherit the kingdom of God. (Ephesians 5:5)

The bible teaches us to judge by the fruits. Well, when you openly discuss your sex life & have no shame in it, that’s what the world sees. You are showing us the fruits of the flesh- not the fruits of the spirit. Read Galatians 5:19-23 & then tell me it’s okay for you to glorify things that God hates.

You claim to be a believer. How about you start acting like one?

our youth put together an awesome human video for easter sunday! love it!

Anonymous asked: i commend you for at least using scripture in stating your point of view on god/christianity. what would you say to someone who is asking for forgiveness of their sins while they simultaneously have no intentions to correct their sin. that is hypocritical, is it not? so even some one who denounces religion still may not sit too far from its banner of hypocracy.

i’d say, i’ve been there.  i’ve been to the point of tears because i was so in love with my sin that i couldn’t grasp how God could love me, a sinner who repeatedly and knowingly disobeys the God that i call Lord. even in our most righteous state, it’s considered “filthy rags” (isaiah 64:6) here’s the amazing thing: even while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (romans 5:8) Religion is a set of rules: if i do this and if i don’t do this, God will love me.  that’s totally wrong. God ALREADY loves us.  Sin separates us from God. That’s why repentance is necessary. it’s not about hypocracy. it’s about understanding that we will all fall short, but we are to strive for holiness.  A part from Christ, we can’t do it.  it means nothing without Jesus.

unless you’re me,
