Text of the page (random words):
live like it take for instance life what is life is it just the living the breathing and being conscious yes those are necessary in order to sustain life but what is life is life what we do is life who we are what is life when i was a younger man i didn t think of these things i took them for granted i was therefore i was alive and if alive then i had life i never questioned what life actually was is so what is life genesis 1 26 27 then god said let us make man in our image after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth so god created man in his own image in the image of god he created him male and female he created them genesis 2 7 then the lord god formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living creature so all these years i have misunderstood what life was i was under the delusion that life is about me it s actually about god just as i have misunderstood the bible it s not the story of man but of god man is secondary man is the result of the will of god life is the result of the will of god john 1 1 4 in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god he was in the beginning with god all things were made through him and without him was not any thing made that was made in him was life and the life was the light of men are you beginning to see as i see life is a gift of god when one speaks of the sanctity of life this is what they are talking about life is not man s to give and therefore it is not man s to take unless according to god s law obviously i have much to learn about life at this point i see my learning is sorely lacking as to what life is and how i should regard it i have only seen life as a series of circumstances and how they affect me personally my life has been based on my reactions to the events of life and i haven t stopped to think on what life is and where life comes from right now i see through a cloudy dimly lit out of focus glass i pray i will grow mature and begin to see with more and more clarity yesterday at church pastor kyle mentioned that when we are in distress and need clarity at least this is what i got from what he said we should give thanks in everything and for everything be thankful that caused me to think of the most basic thing of all life now as scripture says the lord god formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living creature we see life is literally god breathed later in the garden of eden man disobeyed god s one command and became spiritually dead becoming separated from adonai through his sin thus death entered the world and so death reigns from then until now on the physical body but god had before creation prepared for us a sacrificial lamb without spot to take away our sin and restore us to himself his son jesus the christ john 14 6 jesus said to him i am the way and the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me emphasis mine all of john 14 is jesus witness to the truth of himself and of the father our restored life is in jesus christ who is in the father again life is a gift from god yet how lightly we esteem it how flippantly we care for it how often we neglect and abuse it as if it were our own anyone else with me do you see what i see do you understand what i m trying to say god has to deal with me in degrees as with an infant i have to learn to crawl and then walk before i can run in this case i have a small taste of the truth and small understanding about life now so here is something i was given earlier as i was thinking about all of this how do i start my morning what is the first thing i do when i wake up i reach for my phone i check in on the world before i recognize the very one i claim is sovereign lord over all creation adonai what if i change that what if instead of reaching for my phone i would recognize adonai first and as kyle said give thanks what if a prayer of thanksgiving was the first thing i do every morning how would that affect my day how would that change my life my approach to life i found this prayer morning prayer i give thanks unto you adonai that in mercy you have restored my soul within me endless is your compassion great is your faithfulness i thank you adonai for the rest you have given me through the night and for the breath that renews my body and spirit may i renew my soul with faith in you source of all healing blessed are you adonai our god ruler of the universe who renews daily the work of creation maybe seeing life as less about me i will appreciate the life i have more because i will see it for what it really is a gift from god wordpress posted in americanized religiosity doctrines of grace god gospel life prayer life thinking worldviews tagged attitude

blocks wednesday june 30 2021 by persifler i almost wrote a story for a contest the prize was 20k i laid it out in my head and almost wrote it down to submit in the end i talked myself out of it i know no one needs another voice cluttering up space on the internet with useless words maybe i should have but i didn t and another opportunity to change my life passed me by without fanfare or notice it s not that i have nothing to say lord knows i ll talk your ears off if you re around me very long but that s just diarrhea of the mouth words being ejaculated without meaning or substance i should have something to say something of substance and worth in the end it was the lack of substance the lack of worth and the lack of courage that kept me from submitting anything would i read what i wrote probably not so why burden anyone else posted in uncategorized leave a comment wading through the wastelands of my memories wednesday june 16 2021 by persifler so tonight i was looking over some of the things that liz is having to go through to prepare for college now at my alma mater uncg of course my brain started wandering down through the halls of time dragging up memories and i really tried but i don t have any really good memories one or two half decent ones but it s mostly just a blur i have a few good memories of little league baseball but even they are overshadowed by the bad ones and my failures both on and off the field sports in general were not good to me i did have a perfect record going in wrestling in highschool but then i won one actually it was a forfeit eventually i did legitimately win a match it was a bitter victory because it hit me that there was a bigger loser than me out there i kept thinking how bad do you have to be in order to be beaten by me for the life of me i can t dredge up more than a handful of good memories fishing and hunting with bill harris are a few camping out in the woods eating beanie weenies and farting all night with the four guys i grew up with two sets of brothers and me an only child keith and greg bill and craig too bad we drifted apart rather i drifted away i was always so busy trying to get to the next stage in life i never really lived life to the fullest where i was at now as the song says the friends i made all seemed somehow to drift away and only i am left on stage to end the play my children are all adults now yes 18 is young but she s still an adult and i ll treat her as such i have found people tend to rise or fall to the expectations you set for them treat them as adults they will be adults treat them as weak victims they will become weak victims reminds me of another song where do we go from here now that all of the children have grown up and how do we spend our time knowin nobody gives us a damn socrates at his trial said the unexamined life is not worth living i would also include the life that has been examined and found wanting is also not worth living it s merely an existence to be endured so as i look back all i can see are the pot holes the overgrowth the failures and nothing of worth i never knew how to live so i m saddled with a current mediocre existence bent on the necessary before the good and the immediate rather than the best and before i get sermonized i get it see this is my lot in life this is where i am where i m supposed to be and i am trying to come to terms with my place in life yes i know who i am in christ jesus that does not change who i am and where i m at in life one is spiritual the other is in the flesh or physical my salvation does not change my past put rose colored glasses on my past or improve my past the facts of my past and my rembrance of my past remain unchanged so tonight i waded through the wastelands of my memories hoping to find a few good memories to salvage and all i can come up with are counting the weenies in the beanies and all night farting contests that s about par for my life c est la vie c est la guerre

hymns you sing read with meditation the words robert robinson penned in 1758 263 years ago yet still as powerful as the day they were written truth is like that you know come thou fount come thou fount of every blessing tune my heart to sing thy grace streams of mercy never ceasing call for songs of loudest praise teach me some melodious sonnet sung by flaming tongues above praise the mount i m fixed upon it mount of thy redeeming love sorrowing i shall be in spirit till released from flesh and sin yet from what i do inherit here thy praises i ll begin here i raise my ebenezer here by thy great help i ve come and i hope by thy good pleasure safely to arrive at home jesus sought me when a stranger wandering from the fold of god he to rescue me from danger interposed his precious blood how his kindness yet pursues me mortal tongue can never tell clothed in flesh till death shall loose me i cannot proclaim it well o to grace how great a debtor daily i m constrained to be let thy goodness like a fetter bind my wandering heart to thee prone to wander lord i feel it prone to leave the god i love here s my heart o take and seal it seal it for thy courts above o that day when freed from sinning i shall see thy lovely face clothèd then in blood washed linen how i ll sing thy sovereign grace come my lord no longer tarry take my ransomed soul away send thine angels now to

leave a comment in the father friday june 4 2021 by persifler john 17 15 22 i do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the evil one they are not of the world just as i am not of the world sanctify them in the truth your word is truth as you sent me into the world so i have sent them into the world and for their sake i consecrate myself that they also may be sanctified in truth i do not ask for these only but also for those who will believe in me through their word that they may all be one just as you father are in me and i in you that they also may be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me the glory that you have given me i have given to them that they may be one even as we are one i in them and you in me that they may become perfectly one so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me is this real to you did jesus pray for you are you his are you in him as he is in the father here is our sure and certain hope that we are in christ jesus just as he is in the father because the father has given us to him and all that the father has given him he has lost none here in this verse we see that jesus prayed for all of those whom the father has given him not just the 11 12 counting paul the disciple out of time but all those who believe because of the word that they preached from that point forward think about it jesus christ before going to the cross prayed for every believer that was his here we also see the truth of sanctification and holiness both of which are not works that we do it s not something we gin up and is accounted to us because of our efforts actually just the opposite we do the works because of this reality that we are being conformed to his likeness that as we grow in christ we become more holy because he is holy and our sanctification is the outworking of becoming more christ like our works are not what sanctifies us our works are the result of our being sanctified our works are the results of our becoming holy just as he is holy as we become more in him we can t help but do those things that show outward authentication of who we are becoming inwardly if our holiness and our sanctification were something that we could do something that we could work up then we would boast in it we would be prideful in our boasting hey look at me look how sanctified i am look how holy i am but we know that there is nothing good in us all we can boast of is who we are in christ because of what he has done because of who he is because he has redeemed us to be his own if it was something that we did in and of ourselves how would we ever know that we had done it right enough or well enough or sincerely enough or righteously enough or that we did it with enough humility because at that point our humility would become boasting no it s all christ it s all him and it s all who we are in him what an awesome reality that it s not what we do it s what he has already done it s who he is and because of his love for us selah posted in uncategorized leave a comment awaiting eagerly wednesday june 2 2021 by persifler hebrews 9 27 28 and just as it is appointed for man to die once and after that comes judgment so christ having been offered once to bear the sins of many will appear a second time not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him here again we see the reality and distinction of the resurrection we see the reality of the finished work of christ s death on the cross sin and the consequences of sin were dealt with and paid in full most christians even fail to fully grasp the enormity of this it is seen as a one time thing that save...
