Who Do You Think You Are?

Recently, I listened to a sermon in which I was very excited about hearing. The church that I was specifically listening to is being used by God and I AM PUMPED ABOUT IT!!! It has been an extremely long time since I've listened to one of their Pastor's messages and so I decided that since God is doing amazing things there, something must be happening. So I downloaded a sermon from iTunes. While listening to this sermon I will be honest with you...I got pissed off. The pastor calls out a former youth pastor who resigned and says from the stage that he should have fired him. WOW!! Really? My thoughts were, can't people make mistakes and can't we let things go. And then I moved on to how in the world is God allowing this church to be used? Someone needs to give them a reality check and then something blew me away...

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

God spoke to me through Job 38-39. He goes through this conversation with Job basically saying who do you think you are? I've created everything for my purpose and you may not understand it but know your place. And Job answers in Job 40:4, "I am nothing - how could I ever find the answers?"

So who do I think I am that I would try and question what God is doing? God keep using me as Your tool. That's right I'm a TOOL!!! And help me to not question what you are using others to do!

A New Milestone in Micaiah's Life

7 months ago I had no idea what how to be a Daddy. To be honest with you, I still don't. I just know I've got two people so close to me that I am responsible for protecting. God chose to allow Cyndi and I to raise up Micaiah and boy am I learning a lot of new things.

Recently, Micaiah has reached a new milestone in his 7 months...he started crawling. It's been coming for awhile, but just the other day he decided it was time. And we caught a little bit on video.

Is There Tension Between God's Moral Purity and His Love?

Every week in my Theology class at my seminary I am always challenged with thought provoking questions. So I figured I would put this week's up here to challenge you. I will post my answer in the next few days...so comment, get your friends to comment. And if you're wondering I've already turned in my answers to my professor.

So here's the question:

Some have contended that there is tension between God's moral purity and His love. How would you respond to such a charge?
