“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”
Luke 5:5
Lord, if I’m being honest
I’m starting to doubt what you promised
I feel I’ve been fishing all night
Yet nothing still seems to go right
Lord you know the pain of this world
Into which we have been hurled
We are each one broken part
Of your once unbroken heart
This is the truth that sets me free:
I don’t care if you hate me
As long as you know that I love thee
Enough to make me trustworthy
So you dare share the grace I see
And trade self for eternity
John 4:24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
I hope you don’t think that I’m rude
When spirits, I claim, must be trued
Lord, what are you trying to do
When it is me that you woo
I don’t have money or fame
No beauty or charm to my name
Hat tip to Major Lazer
When the world’s full of darkness
Lighten up!
When our souls thirst for justice
Drink the cup!
Union with Christ, if it’s true
Leads to reproducing You
Freedom from sin
Means deep within
I’m letting You make “me” anew
James 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
Jesus calls us onto His trial trail
To grow a faith that will not fail
For when we are tested
Our weakness is bested
By joy from the sorrow of His grail
“Treat your enemies the way
Luke 6:27 (paraphrased)
You want them to treat theirs”
Saving the world
Is really quit simple
If we learn to be
More imitable
Continued from Sex 305: Game Time
I… don’t know who I am
Or more precisely
Which I am
We all think we have a good reason
To judge whether God is in season
If this run of race
Is worthy of grace
Or needs to be called out as treason
Reflections on impending employment
The call to work
We must not shirk
Yet being busy
Can cause a tizzy
When He was among us
We walked where He lead
Now He has brung us
To walk in His stead
His cross has hung us
Then raised from the dead
From sin He has wrung us
Just as He said
So now He’s among us
Through breaking of bread
Though Satan has stung us
We now crush his head!
We all want power
We all want fame
We all want to choose
How to win the game
We all seek status
We have our pride
If only to shield
What we feel inside
Lord, unify your family, starting with mine.

So that we could become
One
With Him
In Him
For Him
Similar to HeartSync or Sozo, Communion of the Betrayed (COTB) — also known as Soul Shift — is for inner healing of emotional woundings; but as a public co-devotional practice, inspired by DBJ.
COTB is designed specifically for people who feel they have been betrayed by someone close to them (as Jesus was). This is a very deep wound that requires extraordinary grace.
Special thanks to Jamie Winship of Identity Exchange for his input and encouragement.
A simplified version of DBJ-LOVE-5 we used with our parents and kids.

The Biastes and Biastas reflect on what God has done in, through, and among them, while Ernie holds out hope for Something Different in a potential Jubilee Season.
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit
John 12:24
Question: Why is it good that all earthly things die?
Perspective: Because every created thing is founded on a contradiction, which God must transcend in order for us to inherit the Kingdom of God

Radically Happy
