You're Here To Be Light... Shine! Be

People Are Not Problems To Be Solved. They Are Mysteries To Be Explored.

Feelings Are Great Liars. If Christians Worshipped Only When They Felt Like It, There Would Be Precious Little Worship. We Think That If We Don’t Feel Something There Can Be No Authenticity In Doing It. But The Wisdom Of God Says Something Different: That We Can Act Ourselves Into A New Way Of Feeling Much Quicker Than We Can Feel Ourselves Into A New Way Of Acting. Worship Is An Act That Develops Feelings For God, Not A Feeling For God That Is Expressed In An Act Of Worship.

It Is Easier To Find Guides, Someone To Tell You What To Do, Than Someone To Be With You In A Discerning, Prayerful Companionship As You Work It Out Yourself. This Is What Spiritual Direction Is.

The Task Of The Prophet Is Not To Smooth Things Over But To Make Things Right.

When We Sin And Mess Up Our Lives, We Find That God Doesn't Go Off And Leave Us- He Enters Into Our Trouble And Saves Us.
