Forged By Faith

Romans 7:16 NIV cuts through a courageous confession As, well, such is simply the one and only direction in which everything better still awaits. It’s in that place in which we’re not, both as of now and too what we are. And this is entirely a strange place for us to consider, this idea of everything better. And that’s because for our to become something better in what hope tells us is a place better too, we’ve to then lose our usual agreement as to the appeasement found both where and in who we are. Which are both what and where we usually mind not imagining our staying put. Because staying has always proven easier. And it will always prove easier. Staying who we are doing then what we’re doing wherever we’re doing it and for whyever it’s being done, this is to be consistently the easiest thing to do under the sun. Which is why there is nothing new under the sun but rather we walk still inside the replication of what’s now a longstanding rebellion. Indeed, that which has been done wil...

Isaiah 59:12 NIV The silence Though a place in which we’ve nothing to say, it’s too the only in which we can finally see we had nothing to say anyway. After all, with what answer can we answer those every asking of any question as was ignored in a life in which the way we walked they could not fathom? How can we so assume that we’ll know what to do when found on that ground in which all we’ve done is just done and we’re left there the only one before the only One who did what we couldn’t so as to help stop doing what we apparently couldn’t? What will we say when we see Jesus face-to-face? Don’t know why but all of the sudden Solomon came to mind. I know we’ve all read, or at least I hope we have, of his immeasurable wealth as won within his asking of God for wisdom first (as done to hopefully, no, prayerfully lead His people well). Indeed, despite the human inclination to ask for all these “other things” as coined as such in such passages as that of Matthew 6 in which Jesus is speaking...

Romans 7:16 NIV Implicated And that by ourselves nonetheless. For if the implication of that coming inquisition has us feeling at all that the coming inquisition will prove in any way an imposition then perhaps where we're standing is but within a position in which we're presented with again the decision as demanded by all yet made mostly by few as it's found within a faith that asks we do away with the way in which we've lived to want a life that's left a wake of waste within our past as proven within the position in which we stand that seemingly understands the coming inquisition as perhaps something even direr than a mere imposition. For an imposition is merely something that makes us move in a way we otherwise find we feel no other such reason to. But friends, that regret continues to show through even what we still do, well, that seems more than reason enough to perhaps set to peruse a better path to pursue. And indeed I believe that one of the questions to be ...

Proverbs 28:13 NIV As we talked about yesterday, following our own path has only led us to all of the problems that we have today. Contrary to what we like to think, we don't know everything and we definitely don't know what's best. Now we've spent a lot of time thinking otherwise. We thoroughly enjoy this idea that we're perfect and never mess up. That's basically the common mindset of our society these days. Nobody is willing to admit that they make mistakes. No one is humble enough to acknowledge their sins and repent of them. Everyone just wants to do as they see fit without any pushback or pesky reminder of the truth. I honestly believe that all of us know that we've gotten plenty of things wrong. I think we all know that we have sinned. But I think we're pretty good at ignoring that fact. We're good at telling ourselves that our mistakes aren't all that bad. We're good at convincing ourselves that we don't even make mistakes to begi...
