UNTITLED

I need to stand

Where if I fall

Some One will hear me

When I call.

I want to live

With good sure friends

Who will with me stand

Until the end.

I want to learn

The lessons well:

Draw close to God,

Shun always hell.

And what I learn

I want to share

Both near and far

And to DECLARE

God’s Love for us:

Christ,

Whom we can trust.

And so it is

That I was found

For the Gospel Road

And Holy Ground.

The Love of God

Is deep and wide

And high above

The star strewn sky.

Life is good

Yet evil roams

The weary world

And would trample every pearl.

Life is good

Jesus the life

And God is Love,

God in Christ above.

And if I slip,

On Christ I call.

He is my Rock

He breaks my fall.

Come journey on this Road,

Into the beginning

of that which will not end.

Our humankind: His work, His JOY,

For us,

Christ God did send.

In This Place

Here we are Lord Jesus, Ones whom You have made.
Gathered in this place, Gathered on this day.
Help us be the offering that pleases You.
Let us enter enter into rest and be with You.

As we walk along the paths that You illuminate,
We trust You because we know the way.
The many roads that men have paved in this world below
Lead to clever imitations our hearts refuse to know.

We will not share Your glory with another
Let all that can't abide You flee away.
In Your mercy give us grace that we may look upon Your face.
Here we are, Yours gathered in this place,
Here we are, Yours gathered in this place.

Guides to Finding Your Place in Father’s House.

Guides to Finding Your Place in Father’s House.

These are MY PERSONAL notes from https://soundcloud.com/lifechangers-1/ms229a-finding-our-place-in-fathers-house

1. No shooting bible verses from the hip. We cut peoples ears off and they cannot hear.  (both eyes swollen shut, bumper sticker religion)

2. Embrace disappointment and die quietly. Don’t bleed (crocodile tears) all over people.

3. Learn to accept the word “NO.” God is a FATHER. Can’t fake it with Abba.

4. If you pout when you are left out you will be puffed up when you are let in. Peter, James and John went up with Jesus and the nine were left below. Be where God places you, don’t trespass, don’t be AWOL.

5. Refuse to allow yourself to become the center of attraction. Don’t try to get it or try to get it back.

6. Like 5, Be conscious when there is no air in the room for anyone else.  “Enough about me, how do you like my new book?”

7. You are not the whole the whole the loaf, you are only one slice, pure humility (I need the whole body). Humility comes through humiliation. In humiliation I see myself as one slice not the whole loaf. (Denominations as slices not loaves)

8. Always, Always, ALWAYS see yourself as a STEWARD not an owner. Similar to 7. Aircraft carrier captain like God. But if he thinks he owns the boat…

9. Fly no false banners, don’t create false images. Dr. Bob, not even a nurse. (flattery must be rejected).

10. Cease all competition, cease all envy. Let your gift make a way for you. THAT is what will bring you honor in the Kingdom.

IQ ~ EQ ~ SQ

IQ. ! INTELLECTUAL Christianity will not keep you.

EQ. ! Be what God intends you to be without pretense, a steward of His grace and the gift He has made you to be for His will and pleasure.

The Spiritual Quotient will advance when I embrace ridicule, being misunderstood, being mocked, and rejected. Enduring emotional conflicts which will humiliate and will serve to humble me. Humility is essentially the thing we lack the most, and the thing we need the most to become SPIRITUAL children of God with an eternal spiritual quotient.
