Crazy Love - Chapter 3

"The best things in life are gifts from the one who steadfastly loves us.  But an important question to ask ourselves is this:  Are we in love with God or just His stuff?"

In the book "Gods At War" a statement that really stuck out to me that I use to check myself is "Some of God's greatest blessings are His greatest competition."  Think about it.  The things that distract us from God are our spouses, our families, our jobs, our toys, sometimes even our church.  The list goes on.

One time my friend shared "What if you could never talk to the Lord again?"  I was devastated!  I began to well up thinking about it.  Oh no!  I almost grieved thinking about it.  We take it for granted that he's always there to listen, complain to, cry to.  But imagine not being able to speak to Him ever again.  I might as well not even exist.  Thank God!!!! that He is always available that He's always there, and that He always cares!

Questions to ask yourself:  Do you love this God who is everything, or do you just love everything He gives you?  Do you really know and believe that God loves you, individually and personally and intimately?  Do you see and know Him as Abba, Father?

Remember the cross!

These videos are about God the Father and our relationship to Him.  I hope you enjoy them:

Crazy Love - Chapter 2

This Thursday at 6 pm we'll be discussing Chapter 2 and how God is the star of the show - or at least He should be!

For those of you who can't make it to the meeting, following are the songs we'll be sharing that fits in the theme of the chapter.  I hope you enjoy:




Here is the video that goes along with the chapter:



I'm hoping this chapter helps you think about how you'd like to do things differently and fulfill your purpose.  Ask yourself if you came before God tonight, what would you regret?  What would you do differently?
