http://elastichearts.blogspot.com/2009/10/art-of-losing-myself_2459.html
Wednesday, October 7, 2009. The Art of Losing Myself. Have you ever heard a worship song and one lyric just stuck with you? That one line just wouldn't leave your mind? For me, it's been the lyric "the art of losing myself" from the song Inside Out written by Joel Houston. Here's what I'm talking about:. A thousand times I've failed. Still your mercy remains. And should I stumble again. Still I'm caught in your grace. Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades. To love You from the inside out.

Sunday, February 28, 2010. On Christ the Solid Rock. Let's face it, our world is crumbling. Is it not? With all the earthquakes and tsunami's that are cracking our earth - I am finding a numbness about myself. What hope do these people have? How do I give hope. To those in need? I see the images and hear the stories of Haiti and now Chile and I can't relate because I don't understand. Why all this suffering? What am I or you to do with all this information of other people suffering? We boast in the hope ...

I Am Elastic: Anno Coram Deo
http://elastichearts.blogspot.com/2011/01/anno-coram-deo.html
Sunday, January 2, 2011. We don’t live here. We don’t live here. We don’t live here anymore. Singer and songwriter Jakob Dylan has some truth in these lyrics for the Christian. I find them reassuring and encouraging for the fact that we are born-again and no longer living in this earthy kingdom. We are in fact now living in a spiritual kingdom, not of this world (John 18:36). Jesus told Nicodemus by night that in order to see the kingdom of God we have to be born of water and. Of God, I want to live.

Monday, November 23, 2009. Lesson From A Leper. I'm trying this Thanksgiving and every Thanksgiving to not just take this one day to openly be thankful, but rather condition my heart to be thankful. When this day comes around don't we all of a sudden begin to think about our lives in relation to being thankful? And don't we often openly admit we are not thankful enough? Have I immediately realize I am given way more grace than I deserve because I have way more than I need. Where are the other nine? Was n...

Thursday, September 18, 2008. We have this desire for Knowledge, for knowing God (speaking of.J.I. Packer's. Is a must read). But isn't knowledge an "interactive relationship" like Willard says? I believe it is. That interactiveness is the disciplines. Seeking those times with Jesus, those times serving Jesus, giving to him, etc. I have a desire to know God. To know Jesus of Nazareth. My Savior, the author of my salvation. But what keeps me from knowing him? Am I storing up His Word? Jesus Wife Covenant ...

Wednesday, December 10, 2008. What got me to this idea I'm about to write about was inspired by this quote from Oswald Chambers from his book "Studies In The Sermon On The Mount":. And today it's my battle with my commonsense. It's thinking "Am I acting out of my own thinking, or am I thinking out of what Jesus wants? It's not just "What Would Jesus Do? It must be what would Jesus Say, what would he Think, how would he Act and how would he Love? But look at Matthew chapter 6 verse 25:. But Chambers says ...

Friday, December 19, 2008. Why do we celebrate? We celebrate the birth of Jesus. Who is in fact living inside us every single day. "Living inside us" is what we need to pay more attention to. Every Christmas morning for a number of years I have read to my family the devotional My Utmost for His Highest, December 25. Here is what Oswald Chambers says about the day:. How many times have we proclaimed that Jesus is the reason for the season? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget.

The Random Ramblings of a Mad Man: July 2010
http://wesvanfleet.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
The Random Ramblings of a Mad Man. Wednesday, July 14, 2010. We all say things like, "I need Jesus." Or, "I love Jesus with all my heart." However, what happens when we are filling down, anxious, needy, depressed, etc? We start grabbing the first thing that goes by to fill our voids. Right? Most people do this with people or possessions. Think about it. When you are feeling needy or unwanted, what do you do? If you have a spouse, fiancee, best friend, whatever it may be, we fill our voids with them right?
