I FALL, YOU FALL, WE ALL FALL TOGETHER

What a disappointment it is to see the image of God’s kingdom once again tainted by scandal (And I don’t mean the fun and entertaining fictional show). It sucks because every time a prominent member in the kingdom “falls” (makes a foolish decision or drastic change in his or her life) it reflects poorly on Christians as a whole.

And, non-believers echo once again, “See that’s why I don’t go to church.” It’s sad that so many are just looking for a reason not to follow Christ.

What's Inside: We are wired for relationships - relationship with God, relationship with people, and relationship with ourselves. But how do we navigate our most important fundamental relationship? Is it even possible to build a relationship with an invisible God? In response to questions from my earlier posts “To Know Me is to Trust Me” and “When Trust Fails,” I  wanted to explore ways in which we could actually get to know this relational God so that we can trust Him and protect that relationship come what may.
