Finding Faithfulness

Finding Faithfulness
As believers, we are called to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. As we allow our thoughts, feelings, and desires to be submitted to the Almighty, we find that faithfulness is not always as easy as it sounds. Christ commended people for their faith and hope in the reconciliation to wholeness that only comes through Him. As we recognize that kind of faithfulness growing in our lives, we seek it all the more.
The efforts put forward here are intended to stir hearts and minds toward the faithful pursuit of the Almighty. In a world full of faithlessness, confusion, disillusionment, and doubt we need to find regular encouragement that challenges us toward goodness in Him, hope in his provision, and peace in his presence. Join me as we walk through the experience of finding faithfulness. If you have yet to come face-to-face with the love of the Almighty, click here to learn more about being transformed and abiding within the community of the faithful.
Finding the Way
“What a lost person needs is a map of the territory, with his own position marked on it so he can see where he is in relation to everything else.”
— Margaret Atwood
The Gospel of Mathematics
“From nursery school onward we are taught how to succeed in the world of ungrace. The early bird gets the worm. No pain, No gain. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Demand your rights. You get what you pay for. I know these rules well because I live in them. I work for what I earn; I like to win; I insist on my right. I want people to get what they deserve – nothing more, nothing less.” Philip Yancey
Perfect Timing
“God is always on time. He’s never late and He is never early. His timing is perfect.” – Lon Solomon
Building an Empire
“It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.” – David Allan Coe
Otherworldliness
To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational. The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.
– Stephen Hawking
Billions of Details and the Infinite God
“The years teach much the days never know.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Jesus and Ted Williams
“For my money, Ted Williams is the greatest hitter of all-time. I’d take him over Ruth, I’d take him over Cobb. I’d take him over Cobb because of the combination of power and average. I’d take him over Ruth because with Ruth, you can only speculate about what he would have done in the modern era. Ted Williams hit .388 at the age of 39 in 1957. He was what few of us ever become; he was exactly what he set out to be. He said he wanted to be able to walk down the street some day and have people say “There goes the greatest hitter who ever lived”. And if they don’t say that, it’s only because they don’t know what they’re talking about.” – Bob Costas
The Object of His Affection
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless–it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.” – C.S. Lewis
A New Normal
“God utters me like a word containing a partial thought of him. A word will never be able to comprehend the voice that utters it. But if I am true to the concept that God utters in me, if I am true to the thought of Him that I was meant to embody, I shall be full of his actuality and find him everywhere in myself, and find myself nowhere.” — Thomas Merton
Running on empty…
“We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; we’ve added years to our lives, but not life to our years. We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. These days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It’s a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the storeroom.” – Norris Peters
