OK, I need help. Yes, that kind too, but my budget doesn’t allow for out-patient psychotherapy nor those prescription drugs. Feel free to share the following incoherent plea.
I need the right person, full time, Bainbridge Island. It is a railing manufacturing company.
You will work in a place that looks like this (photo 1).

Christians versus Posers
There is a concept out there that I believe will damn millions to an eternal burning hell. The concept is that it is possible to “live” the Christian life. This is like saying to a living human that they should live the human life.
A person who simply “lives” the Christian life will spend an eternity in hell. A person who has the life of the Christ in them is living a Christian life regardless of their behavior good or bad.
Picture a cat walking into a room. You pick up a stick and throw it, the cat fetches the stick and brings it back to you. When someone approaches the front door the cat barks. This particular cat, it is observed, continues to behave in many other ways like a dog.

There’s something about God – Exodus 6
Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land. And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
We read in the New Testament that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever. The title of this series says there is something about God. [Read more…]

Are We Plugged-In and Should We Be?
I have a concern. That concern, and in a way, harasses me whenever I think of God. I guess the simplest way to convey the import and probability that one should be both concerned and harassed by these thoughts, by this issue, is in one of the passages that haunts me during these meditations. That is Revelation 3:14-22. To me, that passage, expresses the revelation and judgement of God that we, in this present time, are the epitome of 2 Timothy 3:5. We appear ‘godly’ but don’t have much if anything to do with him.
We are ‘plugged-in’, but plugged in to the wrong thing.

There’s something about God – introduction – REDUX
As I write these little posts I know that some might not appreciate my poor style of writing nor my oft round-about veiled points. I understand that. I wish I were more proficient at expressing the point and in a less convoluted way. At this point I can only put down what I have. I can only put it down to the best my current ability. Take it and find the crumb of blessing, or leave it and forgive my offense.
I am round-about because that is the way I am wired. If I am vague it may be because I think that if you, the reader, really want understanding then it is better to make you think it through. I want to rely on the actual understanding not to come from my skill but from the holy spirit’s application to your heart.
Let’s see if we can find God in spite of all that may work to the contrary.
