I AM CONTINUING TO ANSWER RORY’S INSIGHTFUL QUESTIONS ONE BY ONE. YOU CAN FIND A LIST OF THEM ALL BY CLICKING HERE.

Today’s questions is…What do we all have in common besides our genes that makes us human?

I love this question! One thing all humans share is a likeness and image of God that is stamped upon us by the Creator Himself. We are made in the image of God. Not only that we each are born with a hole inside of us that can only effectively filled by God Himself. To that end every one of us is born into a spiritual quest. If the destination is always the same the quest is the same. We were made for relationship with the Divine.

A Question a Day From Rory Pt. 2

Posted on by under Pastor Wrinkles

RORY OVER AT A GUY CALLED A BLOKE HAS ASKED SOME REALLY GOOD QUESTIONS THIS WEEK.

I am taking one a day to task and seeing where the questions lead me.

Here is today’s question:

What would you regret not fully doing, being or having in your life?

This one is actually pretty easy. I would regret not fully following Christ, not being His child and servant and I would regret not having Him in my life.

I thought once I could make it without Jesus. I thought I could do it on my own. I sent Him away. The darkness was terrible. The emptiness was profound. The sorrow was heavier than anything I could bear.

I cried out to Him my repentance and He had mercy on me! He erased my guilt shame and regrets. Today I am His and He is mine and I will never let Him go again!

Jesus said, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” Rev. 3:20

How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness
    and grieved him in the wasteland!
41 Again and again they put God to the test;
    they vexed the Holy One of Israel.
42 They did not remember his power—
    the day he redeemed them from the oppressor,
43 the day he displayed his signs in Egypt,
    his wonders in the region of Zoan.
44 He turned their river into blood;
    they could not drink from their streams.
45 He sent swarms of flies that devoured them,
    and frogs that devastated them.
46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper,
    their produce to the locust.
47 He destroyed their vines with hail
    and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
48 He gave over their cattle to the hail,
    their livestock to bolts of lightning.
49 He unleashed against them his hot anger,
    his wrath, indignation and hostility—
    a band of destroying angels.
50 He prepared a path for his anger;
    he did not spare them from death
    but gave them over to the plague.
51 He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt,
    the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.
52 But he brought his people out like a flock;
    he led them like sheep through the wilderness.
53 He guided them safely, so they were unafraid;
    but the sea engulfed their enemies.
54 And so he brought them to the border of his holy land,
    to the hill country his right hand had taken.
55 He drove out nations before them
    and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance;
    he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes. Psalm 78:40-55

Has God ever settled you?

A Question a Day From Rory

Posted on by under For Family & Fun, Uncategorized

RORY FROM A GUY CALLED A BLOKE HAS ASKED SOME REAL THOUGHT PROVOKERS THIS WEEK. 

I thought I might answer 1 of these a day and see where it gets me.

Here is question number 1

Is there anything that you wish you had spent more time doing five years ago?

Yes absolutely! I wish I had focused more on exercising and my weight loss five years ago. It really is true what they say about losing weight after 50 and now I have to get in shape for my son’s wedding in a year!

 

God gave me a verse from the psalms this year. Psalm 144: 1

Praise be to the Lord my Rock,
    who trains my hands for war,
    my fingers for battle.

I guess a part of that battle is going to be the battle of the bulge.
