This is the huge question in my house. What about yours?
Stepping out of the comfort zone, and into the vastness of possibilites is rather frightening. But it sure beats sitting here wondering “what if.” That is, if I had any idea of where to step.
I’ve been on a lot of sites lately of people who have experienced the worst of church. The abusive pastors who have controlled them, shamed them, kept them down and under. The abusive churches where the minor is majored on, and the major is ignored or marked as trivial.
A common thread I’ve seen is that these people are firing God! Huh? You know… the God that is the task-master. The one with the impossible rules. The one that hides around the corner with a club waiting until you break a rule you didn’t even know about, and then jumps out and hits you… and then insists you remain silent and rigidly perfect. The one who is stern, distant, and severe.
I must admit… it freaked me out a bit. But these dear people have a point! If our version of God is like that listed above, then are we serving the God of the Bible? If we aren’t… then perhaps it isn’t wrong to fire that god… and embrace the REAL one. Throw the baby out with the bathwater, and start learning about who God REALLY is. The true Father!
Let’s hear it. Tell me…. please. How does this work?
This blog is just a way to express thoughts and feelings about life, faith, and what it is like to be a fool for Jesus. To learn more about the name of my blog, please refer to my previous post about it by clicking here.
