Morning Voice
After talking to a friend in Cali this morning about life, love, etc...God made this clear:
"You will always be your own prisoner if you continue to live for yourself and live for others. Keep living like this and you'll get the same condemnation and guilt you know so well. You know the freedom you only seem to feel when you are finally fed up with people and your own self-will. Want more of that? Live for me in ways you've never known. You'll feel that love from the gut for me you want so much. Keep dreaming, but now, DO."
Dang. I wannna set myself free from me.

"I want to set myself free from me." You started the statement with I. Substitue 'I want' for "Jesus did". Grace... it's all about Grace.
F.Y.I. "Grace Walk" is a really good book. I learned a lot from it!

I'm not a big fan of the Christian subculture either. For some reason, Josh, I don't place you in that bubble.
Brett may know something I don't?

I'd like to know what is meant by "the Christian Sub-Culture" That can imply so many things.

Hey Dave and all,
I think Brett may be referring to a life lead by the Spirit, which may be invisible to those who don't quite get it yet. What may seem "Christian sub-culturish" or "relgious" is really a look into a personal, real, living, relationship with my Jesus. I welcome the "arguing" Brett, but as my pastor put it so well yesterday, "A complaint without a remedy is worthless-it will lead to death. I also welcome remedies, a a personal phone conversation would seem to be the least method of attaining attention.

Hi Brett :) I called you today and you told me you were gonna call me back. What happened? Was it easier to comment on a blog? Now that's jest :)
This came to mind, wasn't sure if this is a result of some pent up bitterness. Please, call me back like you said.
Oh, and I disagree and don't think you have enough insight into my life to make these comments.
Ephesians 4
Unity in the Body of Christ
1As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
