Child-Likeness

Children love adventure, they trust their good father 100% with everything and dont worry about it or try to do anything themselves. When a child is on an adventure with their Papa they dont even think about doing things by themselves. Weather flying this kite was the kids idea or the Papa’s idea, neither one of them would dream of doing it by themselves, or letting the other do it by themselves.  They’re a merry team. The Bible says that we co-partner with God. :D This is the truth. He loves to do things with us, and work with us to see our dreams and his dreams come true. Its his joy, and if its not ours, there is something wrong.

I started to see that the miracles were an expression not so much of Jesus’ mighty power as of his love. In fact, the power of miraculous spectacle was the temptation he faced in the desert - to turn stones to bread or to fling himself from the temple. But what had lasting significance were not the miracles themselves but Jesus’ love. Jesus raised his friend Lazarus from the dead, and a few years later, Lazarus died again. Jesus healed the sick, but they eventually caught some other disease. He fed the thousands, and the next day they were hungry again. But we remember his love. It wasnt that Jesus healed a leper but that he touched a leper, because no one touched lepers…beyond the miracles what has lasting significance is love. ~ Shane Claiborne - The Irresistible Revelution
Change is the process by which the future invades our lives. ALVIN TOFFLER
…you come to realize it is not going to be changed just by words or demonstrations. It’s a question of living your life in a drastically different way. DOROTHY DAY
It is a secret, both in nature ans state, that it is safer to change many things than one. FRANCIS BACON
All appears to change when we change. HENRI AMIEL
Test all things; hold fast to what is good. 1 Th 5:21


“religion” can be traced to the Latin word ‘re’ which means ‘again’ or ‘to return to’ as well as the Latin word “ligre” which means ‘to bind’.

“religion” can be defined as “a return to bondage.”

So no, I don’t believe Christianity is a ‘religion’.  I believe it is coming to an understanding of who Jesus is and thus, who you are.

The gifts He has given you are never to be used at your expense. he does not want you to be used by anyone, and He will never use you. Your gifts were given to you for the purpose of bringing joy to your life, not for the purpose of serving Him of furthering His cause. Your happiness is His cause. If you have joy and contentment, the radiance of Christ will shine through you, and His presence and existence will speak for itself. he gets glory and is happy when you are free and at liberty. Your gifts were given for this purpose. Darin Hufford - The Misunderstood God
