Anything I put before my God is an idol.

Anything I want with all my heart is an idol.

Anything I can’t stop thinking of is an idol.

Anything that I give all my love is an idol.

guardiancomment:

A Swedish toy retailer is arming children with the ability to question outdated gender role, says Sarah Ditum.

She says their catalogue “is full of advertising designed to confound every gender prejudice. Behold: a girl … with a Nerf gun! A boy … holding a doll! A girl … in a blue T-shirt! Eat it, patriarchy.”

ha I feel like a lame-o, I was looking at the photos for a minute or two and kept wondering what they were supposed to be about. don’t see what this has to do with patriarchy per se, but eh.

“A fearful Christian will run away from God when they commit a habitual sin to avoid the punishment that must be soon to follow. A thankful Christian clings to God not knowing or caring if they’ve been rejected. A fearful Christian is focused on themselves and keeping their own butt out of trouble, a thankful Christian is focused on God, on His grace, His love, His amazing patience, His goodness, and believe me, that Christian is devoted.”

what joy it has been to walk in this direction.

“For a moment, sitting there in above the city, I imagined life outside narcissism. I wondered how beautiful it might be to think of others as more important than myself. I wondered at how peaceful it might be not to be pestered by that childish voice that wants for pleasures and attention. I wondered what it would be like not to live in a house of mirrors, evereywhere I go being reminded of myself.”

“There is a sense in which the human soul has caved in on itself and is now held captive by a fixation with its own states and conditions and concerns. The soul has become parasitic on itself, feeding on its needs and cravings by excessive introspection and elaborate attempts to elevate its sense of self-worth. Your soul was never meant for this. You were designed for something better. You were built for the contemplation of something infinitely more complex, something incomparably more fascinating than your own “self.” You were created for the joyful contemplation of God.”

-Sam Storms

“When people ask, ‘You go to church? You’re a Christian?’ — what most people really mean is, ‘So you’re a good church kid? You don’t curse or smoke or drink or kick old ladies?’ And most of us answer, ‘Yeah, I’m trying.’ Except going to church doesn’t make us good, nor is church a special place for good people. The word Christian has become this loaded label that now means what we do instead of who we are. We’re adopted by a gracious good heavenly Father; we don’t ‘try’ to be His because He’s already called us to Him. The Real-Life Christian says, ‘I’m honestly just a broken mess who met Jesus and he is blowing me up.’ So when people ask about church, we can say, ‘I don’t know what you mean by that, but all I know is there’s nothing good in me except God in me, and everything bad in me, God is working on that.”

Today was one of the first times in my life that I can remember being… free. Free from all of society’s connotations of what a beautiful woman should look like. Free from the criticism of men and media, free from the constraints of my inner being. I went to a Moroccan “hammam” today, which is a…

This is AMAZING. My heart is so full of love for Tee.

“You’re exhausted in the faith because you’re looking at you. The more you look at yourself and the less you look at God, the more you get frustrated at yourself.”

- Matt Chandler (via graceloves)

WOW.

Sinful frustrations.

Sun, 30 Sep 2012 17:21:00 -0400

I am feeling emotionally, relationally, and [sort of] spiritually drained.

I’m frustrated with asking people how they are, receiving a ten-minute response, and not even a feigned interest in my life or its goings-on.

If someone only contacts you when they want to make use of your gifts (time, money, abilities, or wisdom), they’re probably no friend of yours. Just saying.

Now I’m not saying I don’t like doing these things like listening to people vent or praying with them or doing a favor or something. Those things bring me joy because of who Christ has been to me, and I want my life to be a comprehensive worship. Ministry means doing a lot of those things, and quite often. I expect 1-way connections with people I love who are emotionally/spiritually unable to return the favor, because well, duh.

I guess I just feel “let down” by some of my peeps who identify as disciples. Everyone in the entire world is always going through something difficult; we’re not supposed to take a break from loving people because we have “our own stuff.” I just mean that it’s a 2-way street and I thought we were in this together. I changed my major 5 weeks ago and people I thought I was close to are literally still finding out. At least gimme a “how are you?” without having your own response prepared.

In short -
Issue: Feeling like an unloved lover, a friend without friends
Catch-22: People, including myself, are ridiculously selfish and generally self-serving. If it doesn’t advance our personal or professional goals, we want nothing to do with it. Recklessly put, nobody cares.
My heart issue: I’m trying to fill a God-sized desire for real relationship with the pathetic ability of man, and it results in anger and loneliness every time. Not to mention, I’m living a bitter, graceless existence where I hate everyone. If I’m not close to Jesus, I can effectively love no one.
But: I probably need some friends that care about me too.
The only thing I can do: Draw closer to God and allow him to fill me. I’m starving for the real thing.
AND: look inwardly to find out who I’ve been a crappy friend to lately.

“No enthusiasm will ever stand the strain that Jesus Christ will put upon His worker, only one thing will - a personal relationship with Himself which has gone through the mill of His spring-cleaning until there is only one purpose left - ‘I am here for God to send me where he will.’ Every other thing may get fogged, but this relationship with Jesus Christ must never be.”

- Oswald Chambers, The “Go” of Relationship

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited.”

- Sylvia Plath (via kari-shma)

I have this thought so often.

My friends at Desiring God asked me some questions about the obstacles to manhood and how to fix the problem. Here’s what I said

I so appreciate Trip Lee. He really helps paint a picture of what a humble man walking in faith looks like.
