Forged By Faith

Colossians 3:8 NIV But now For indeed, in light of what was done then by He who’s done since all we’ve still needed Him to do, not that the doing has changed but only that its being done has become entirely more personal since we’ve ourselves arrived upon what is this still continuing cultural crime scene as seen inside such things as the presence of just as much doubt, denial and debauchery as ever in history, in light of the Christ and all He’s accomplished and called us to share, well, it seems that there is no finishing this faith nor then the growth away from the life spent running only away from it. Because if who we once were in that way of life we once lived as those who have all lived as if Christ never did, yeah, we’ve all got plenty left we need to lose before we leave what we’ll all lose anyway. And in fact what we’re all scheduled to lose now is that life we’ve all lived in love with all that is neither alive nor then in any way loving. For as it’ll turn out, you have to a...

Colossians 3:7 NIV The life once lived It’s something we all have, or at least I pray. Indeed, I hope and beg that as of today we’ve all found new ways in which we walk in what is a new life that’s left the existence of an old life no longer existent as surrendered unto the call for all to share in the sacrifice of a life as was lived within the wage that all sin wins. Yes, my greatest hope for all mankind is that we all know Jesus Christ as Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Savior of us. And thus so too is my greatest worry that we’re not as weary as we ought to be of a life we’ve lived that of which we should be now only leery of it remaining in anyway whatever. No, if we can agree unto the need of our soul’s saved, well then my friends so too must we admit that if such a thing cost Christ His death then we must ourselves come to make at least some sort of change in light of it. Elsewise how are we to know whether or not we’re the new He came to lead us into the laying down of the old to...

Matthew 16:25 NIV Let it go For if to lose this life is to life find gained, then to surrender our share of such is something of such substance as to show forth the faith that our now longstanding standing in place has never been able to allow us to say was in any way ours at all. And while we may have tried our very best to believe always otherwise, the simple clarity is met within the world’s familiarity with both what crosses achieve and thus what Christ accomplished for those who in Him believe. It just all comes down to whether or not we believe in Him enough to actually follow within the path that He himself came to pave so as to save all of they, who are still all of we who know well we need all of what He did and to share in at least a portion of the same if we’re to find the same as the outcome for which He came to lead us all. Which is souls saved. The issue then arises in that for our lives we’ve not had the audacity to even consider the imagining of just how much we deserve...

Isaiah 37:19 NIV Into such a share Simply because He who created us has too called us there into that place in which we too come to want only the waste of all we’ve wanted that’s all but wasted so many years and fears upon what wasn’t worth much at all of either as both could have and thus should have been given unto He who’s given us both these lives and too this exemplar of the call as given then unto all who’ve played their part within this fall both out of love with He who is God and in love then with all that never was. And so now we who’ve known a life as lost to the lifelessness of all idolatry, and there idleness, we all now have this scene seen of some seeking to destroy what in us has only sought to destroy us and thus should be met with the equality of treatment as set forth within the Old Testament. Yes, we’re to go ancient upon this most antiquated of outlook, something of a battle plan the likes of an eye for an eye, tooth for tooth, or, more specifically here, a life for...

Isaiah 30:22 NIV When you hear For having gone both right and left and found along the both more wrong than right, and that because of having long determined to ignore the warnings as given by He who’s always been just trying to lead us within the only Way we can go by which life can be found by any, all then that’s left is for us to leave all we’ve learned to love along the way to what is this nowhere we’ve been now for longer than we ever cared to consider. No, we’ve never wanted to admit ourselves so vastly lost in love with all that only takes life away. Thankfully still He stands pointing and saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” Issue then, which makes such gift of His guidance given into a grievance governed by a grief so great we at many times agree only to neither get along nor go along is that His way in which we’re to walk is one its own won within what is a flame of sorts. Only His isn’t really a fire borne inside desire such as all those we’ve long lived burning for. No,...
