God is More

God is more than just a song,

God is more than words in the Bible.

God is in action, and I wait for this Presence.

God is more than any person can perceive. 

God is more than all survivor stories.

God is more than politics.

God is more than division. 

God is more than people can conceive.

God is the One who holds all power. 

God is Creator of creativity.

God is the One who loves every person. 

God is the only way to Life. 

I Am Not

I Am Not 

I am not responsible for God's mood.

I am not responsible for anyone else's mood,

Anyone else's happiness,

Anyone else's sadness.

I am not responsible for anyone's salvation. 

I cannot save anyone.

In a world where things are increasingly being divided,

I am not responsible for the union of things.

I Am Not God.

An Instagram Story

Recently, another person and I had a conversation on Instagram.

It was about yoga, and how the occult can use it for the adversary's benefit. 

And how anything perverted started as something good.

Well, that's what it was intended on my end.

In reality, it was both of us sharing our experiences.

And at the end, we disagreed.

She pointed to the Indian Government website for what yoga is.

I countered that in the US, they are not necessarily following those guidelines.

She said she has taken training courses on it, and they are all the same.

I explained (or tried to) the experiences I've had in yoga classes. 

She said she tried to warn me, as it was her duty to do so.

I concede; social media is not a place anyone can convince anyone of anything.

Brooke Shields Quote

"What I do really reiterate over and over and over again is that what you see may not be the reality," she told PEOPLE in 2022. "And you can't just accept it because the spotlight's on it and it's on Instagram. You really have to know that it's the world of Oz because behind the curtain, that's where you want to live."

- Well said, Brooke Shields. Well said.

The Church Is Not the End

Thankfully, the church is Not the end of finding God.
The church is Not God; at best it can only lead to God. 

The church doesn't actually speak for God. 

Only God speaks for Himself; and He is greater than all beings.

The Church I Grew Up In

The church is very unforgiving.

At least the church I grew up in.

The church I left.

The church that was like a courtroom,

Where people were friendly, as long as you played by their rules.

The church loves conditionally.

As long as you do what they say, you are good to go.

Questions are not welcomed, unless they fit their agenda.

The church I specifically grew up in 

Valued appearances over character.

The church preaches love,

Yet practices hate.

They are so blinded by their love of theology,

That they miss the God they claim to serve.

The One who is more loving than any man.

It's A New Year

For better or for worse

The year has turned and it's a new one.

I've long pondered how a single day, month, and year

Can be so good for someone, and so bad for another.

A new year doesn't automatically mean changes.

It doesn't automatically mean anything good or bad.

It's not a true blank slate.

But the One Who Knows Everything is here.
