If you've never heard that Gospel or you Gospel sucks feel free to jump in with us in discovering King Jesus and how He is moving on the earth.
To discover and offer the goodness of God.
It's a bold internal filter. But the idea that God is always working is generally accepted. However, I find it doesn't always land in our own personal expectation. Rather for "those" out their somewhere that really need it...
Of course He is working for good. But in your life today?
I'm Leading a group of people (including my chillens) through this value this next few weeks, and am particularly challenged at the idea of the Gospel being at work to the level that I would experience it everyday...every hour...within every relationship...being able to not only be connected to God's goodness but be apart of offering God's goodness. It would be a pretty incredible life to experience...
We know that God never stops working...He's never not pursuing me, or you, or the person in front of you. His aggressive pursuit is on all the time. It led Him to death on a cross. So what are some ways we can tap into that lifestyle?
John 5 zapped me yesterday. Jesus dealing with people that are wanting to dismember Him, and He tells them I only do what my Father is doing. He also tells them that God shares all that He is doing with Me.
God's desired outcome with Jesus was to share everything that He was doing, and do it together.
I'd suggest its the same for the Father and us. I am finding I just down believe that on the daily.
You are welcome to join me or pray for me at 6 and 6 everyday. I am using those moments to be reminded of God's love for me and ask Him the question what are you doing today.
Thankful to live out some hopeful expectation
peace homies

Mark 4 on tap for my soul
Reading proverbs 17.3 this morning. My hearts motives will get put out before the Lord to be judged...someday? Sure sure we will all stand before a judgement seat - in the meantime we exist in the today.
Just how much do we really want our motives to be seen and known? To a degree, we can add some churchy language to situations in our lives and make everything seem dandy - try and manage or control the externals around us so that people around us have the idea that we have great lives. And we will all see just how long we can hold that up...
But really whats the driver in your soul. And how will that end? Is it monies? health? reputation? Trying to work out the grind of life so that I feel secure, satisfying my internal need for whatever the thing is.
A free heart has no need for external validation, no need to be proven, it experiences the fire of life and is out on display come what may. Its proof of trust in a God that is in control.
Check proverbs 17.3
Then check out Phil 2. ...
a pretty good indicator of your thoughts and attitudes getting the day going.
That first thing, first word could be to a family member, a text, an email, a co worker, the coffee barista...irregardless take a moment and look at it.
Most of us, myself included have some sort of routine greeting informed by our experiences, culture, friends around us - its generally trite, creating minimal connection, and continues us on our day.
My invitation is to spend that moment with intention and allow Hebrews 3:1-14 to guide you. That first word could be so much more...
The author is giving a recount of the Israelites allowing their hardness to be. He runs the hardening through the redemption of hope in Christ, and then challenges us to understand we are no different than the Israelites apart from Christ.
And then verse 13...the solid therefore. take a moment and read it.
The exhortation is not a trite you can do it, but a calling of the reminder of the hope in the Cross, the person of Jesus, the ...
