Forged By Faith

1 Corinthians 2:4 NIV Madness, meaning, meet meekness. For the path ahead of us is not one for the strong among us nor the wise beside us nor the boldness or bravery within us. Rather the combination of the sheer narrowness of the path which is the Way and the true nearness of what is the Day in which the Way will return, it’s become entirely too lean for a people of such pride to learn. And so instead this path, this Way, it, He asks we lean upon He who was and who is and who is to come to be the One to take the spotlight within our lives as we then live them for Him who died back then for us. A gift given unto all but sadly still one that only changes few. At least in the way that it was intended to. And that’s because the hope of Heaven is held inside our humility. The promise of eternity enters humanity through hearts humbled unto at first seeing their fragility as is founded upon our every foolishness and folly. The glory of grace as was given us in that place that was our grave, ...

Acts 1:8 NIV Madness, meet meaning. For there is always some reason as to all the Lord does and it typically has something for us to do in light of it having been done. And, well, when it comes to the story of our salvation and the glory of the sacrifice given in order to make it happen, that reason cannot be what we all seem to always be able to still assume most reasons might be. Because sadly we’ve all come upon this confusion in life that’s a delusion of mind in which we all seem always to find that everything that happens to us must thus be all about us. We’re just selfish like that. But the problem is that creation is a really big map and it’s made of so many others, sisters and brothers, who may still be walking according to the map of life we’ve all been handed by a world that’s been handed over to the power of sin and the lord thereof. Yes, God has given man over to our lesser desires for everything, well, lesser. And, well, as the earth is lower than the Heavens and so too ar...

Acts 2:33 NIV A gift from home And as it’s the most expensive ever known, proven only in the Son showing that this life we live is ours on loan, it’s also to become the most priceless of all possible possession as it proves the very start of what begins a progression from what’s been our every broken part in our every broken past that continues on from all of that toward all that He said is waiting at the end of all that is. An end itself seen and shown inside so very much within this rental home in which we live on loan these lives we hold. Seen and shown inside the sights and sounds we somehow come to see and say as are spoken and known of a love that’s grown inside our hearts by at first tearing them all apart. All to begin in us the brand new start that He said He had to reach His end here only to leave and send back that which He knew we’d need to find success along this journey. What journey? The descent into madness that we’ve been talking about for I believe over two months now...

Titus 3:5 NIV with humility’s help For only within humility might we be helped as the life we’ve all known to live, that lie in which we lay in which we live as if we do nothing wrong and can thus never make mistakes nor be proven mistaken, it’s left us all having missed so much in terms of meaning and mercy that having been met with them in Him, we too, at first, felt it was best to back away and belittle. All of us have believed the Good News to be nonsense. We’ve all considered the cross to be some story cooked up to keep us confused and ashamed. We’ve all spent a lifetime building up our name into this thing that needs nothing from nobody. This is the concept of freedom, of fortune, of favor, of everything that everyone down here has come to understand. All our lives we’ve all been told that we’ve to stand alone. That we have to do all we do all by ourselves so that it’s only ourselves who will gain whatever gloating or glory that there is to find within however we determine to wri...
