A New Direction

How do I put this into words without ticking people off? Actually I’m not sure if I can. People may think I am being heretical. People may make comments about this post. People may say nothing at all. I’m good with that. Please leave your comments. This way we can dialogue about it.

I think I’m going to take a break(a short time) from the “theology” studies or talks. I have laid my foundation. I am tired of living under a label “Calvinist” or “Reformed”. Really if you want to get technical I’m a reformed charismatic. How does that work?? That’s entirely a different post. I’m just a follower of Jesus Christ. I want to love people and spread the good news.

Do i think theology is wrong? Absolutely not! Calvinism helps me view the way I see the bible. Has helped lay the foundation for what I believe. The doctrine of salvation and grace are awesome! The sovereignty of God is a big deal!! The fact that God can take my breath if He wants too is a beautiful but scary thing. The fact that my very existence is held together by His word can’t even be comprehended. I believe Calvin and a lot of the dead guys got a true revelation of the sovereignty of God!

This is me being open. Sometimes I get worried what other people will think. If i don’t agree with certain ideas I feel like I will be looked down upon. Or someone will call me a prosperity gospel lover (which I hate the prosperity gospel with a passion!). Is. 2:22 (ESV) Tells me not to regard man…So here it goes….

My next comment may jack up your theology. It may make you angry and call me a heretic. I don’t care.

I believe that the Sovereignty of God is a major deal but only one facet of God. I believe there is so much more to God than we get or comprehend!! Don’t get me wrong I love His Sovereignty!! The fact that He is in control and I’m not makes life easier or is it harder…hmmmm????

Anywho, so I said I’m going to take a new direction. What’s that all about???

Along with God’s Sovereignty comes something else that works right along with it….Sonship!!

My heart cries out for sonship, the culture of God’s kingdom, making a way for people, and the economy of God.

My foundation is laid and now I want to build upon that. I hope you will come on this journey with me and see my heart.

Manly Men

The church that provides us leadership and covering, Gateway Church, is hosting a Men’s Conference called The Alpha Summit.

The 30-day prep work can be found here.

In addition to that, I strongly encourage all men who have come across the blog or the podcast to listen to the following message.  Gentlemen, this message will do one of two things: harden your heart where the Word of God deflects off or soften your heart where the Word of God changes your heart.

Porn Again Christian by Mark Driscoll

`So keep your pants on, your Bible open, your eyes focused, your hands ready, and your heart broken, and fight in such a way that when you stand before Jesus in the end, you can look him in the eye. - Mark Driscoll, Porn Again Christian
