A Message For Luke

Life along with death is not a simple thing. You have an upbringing to overcome that is difficult to say the least. I do not pity you at all; In fact I feel the desperate love that Yeshua has for you. It has nearly brought me to tears several times while writing this. I too came from essentially an atheist home, although I am not sure it was as multi generational as yours. I know I have a great or great great grandfather who was a circuit preacher. I know my father was dismayed that his two oldest sons forsook atheism in favor of knowing the Living-G_d.

Faith is not a normal thing. I know that I try to present a logical argument for the existence of Elohem, Yahweh, or G_d (whichever you want to call Him), but the fact of the matter is that faith involves something more than logic. In fact faith is illogical. (I know Robert would like to hear me say that.) Faith requires that we do the one thing we cannot, that is to let go. It does not matter what it is we are holding on to we have to let go. For all of us it is a daily struggle that is why I talk about dying unto ourselves and that it is a process. Many Christians talk about the free gift of grace and indeed it is free, but faith is another issue. Faith and I mean true faith, the kind of faith that says if G_d commanded you to jump off off a cliff you would do so, that kind of faith costs us our life. The good news is the Jesus said he came to give us life and give it to us in abundance. When we are willing to give our life to Him an amazing transformation happens. I wish I could explain it clearly, but it is hard as each person has a different encounter with Him, but I do know that when you do, you will have no doubt as to whom it was.


Winds of Change
Kutless

Can you feel the pains in life?
Wrapped around you like they're chains
Restricting all your dreams
Do you wonder if there is a way?
A way to set you free
Set you free

So tell me all your dreams
Tell me all your fears and what you're longing for the most
It's not another way
That'll end up the same for it's under my control

Do you feel the winds of change?
Soon this weight will fall away
And take you to a place
Only found through these winds of change
A breeze that's new and free
New and free

So tell me all your dreams
Tell me all your fears and what you're longing for the most
It's not another way
That'll end up the same for it's under my control

I'll be the one who you can cry to
The one who will give you wings
I will give wings
Someday we'll sail away
Mounted up on wings like eagles
We will run and will not fade away

So tell me all your dreams
Tell me all your fears and what you're longing for the most
It's not another way
That'll end up the same for it's under my control

I'll be the one who you can cry to
The one who will give you wings
I will give wingsThe one who will give you wings
I will give you wings
To set you free
The one who will give you wings
I will give you wings
To set you free
The one who will give you wings
