My goal for everything I see and do in this life, is for it to be viewed through “God colored glasses”. Are you familiar with the saying about rose colored glasses? If so, good, you get it. I try to see things how God wants me to see it. Because there’s usually more going on than meets the eye. Do you use a filter, or do you just wing it?
Where do you get your strength? What do you think is going on in our world today? I would like to know where people get their belief system, what it looks like, and if they’re up for it, share my view whenever it’s applicable to the conversation. I have no interest in preaching at anyone. But I do love a good healthy dialog where both sides are heard. And respected.
These are the most important conversations we should be having with anyone we claim to care about. And maybe we could discuss some good old fashioned morals here and there, because what the heck could it hurt, right? Social media is boring. I got sick of being glued to my phone, be it from addiction or boredom. Let’s bring back spending quality time having real, healthy conversations about the things that really matter in the here and now.
I am praying that everyone that either listens to or reads this all the way to its conclusion would join me in my new hobby adventure. Hopefully you will be able to handle me the way I currently am on my walk with the Lord. For those who would critique it on the basis of going against the modern Americanized version of Christianity, I beg you view me through those God colored glasses – Err on the side of grace. Seek out real truth in the Bible. Don’t be a Pharisee. Judge not, lest ye be judged…
Fire and brimstone is not the only delivery for the plan of salvation any more than you can only be a certain type of demographic to be allowed through Church doors. Please recognize that there are so many different varieties of personalities out there. How many of those people that hold up “The end is near” signs on the side of the road are reaching souls for Jesus? There is one Holy Spirit, and We Ain’t It. I’m not looking for a debate, but I can handle one if you can. Prove me wrong and I’ll concede. Or at least pray about it. Interested?
I haven’t even begun to get into the spiritual warfare that no one is discussing for some crazy reason. There is so much to talk about. Please give HNR a listen, and share with someone in your life that may be a great candidate for my vibe; If you aren’t, no worries, just then do me a solid, and continually be praying for me.
The Whole Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and shaving put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
This makes me think of the book by Frank Peretti “This Present Darkness”. Read it and you will understand what I’m trying to explain, and then maybe we could have some common ground to discuss. Like having a jumping off point, comprehension curiosity of the topic at hand will be necessary. If we were discussing Egypt I’d direct you to whatever I had read that helped me get to my current belief, opinion or knowledge. The challenge is to read the book and then want to discuss it with little ol’ me. Same goes for the Bible. Read it, and we’ll talk.
Love,
Peach 🙂
p.s. I am making this little write up available on a little recording, because one of my children loathes reading. So in case you are reading this like I would have if I were just here to check this out, know you can find the ramblings read aloud in the podcast section of this website, for sharing with your non reading loved ones.
