God is Love and Love chooses the objects of His love. YOU are the object of His love. He revealed and continues to reveal this as He poured out His life for you on the cross and pours His life into you now. He was unwilling to do without you and gave Himself to be the sacrifice to our human rage even to submit to our demonically inspired torture before He went to the cross and on the cross. This is where He overcame death, hell, and the grave and all evil. And He chose you to be resurrected with...

Worship was intended to be a huge blessing to foster intimacy with God. But, as with any good thing, the spirit of religion has caused too many to be turned off or actively repelled by worship. We should patently resist allowing religion make worship or any spiritual discipline another demand or requirement for righteousness. We should also make sure that we worship God as He truly is and not misrepresent Him as distant, separate, condemning, angry, and loveless. It is our birthright to experien...

Everything starts with Love, because He is the alpha and omega and every letter in between for all creation - especially His kids.

We can exhale and simply be loved and free. It is from this place where we can love as He loves more and more, and contribute to humanity and the world in truly life-giving ways. This is not only po...

Truth in the inmost part of our beings brings freedom. This begs the question of what is truth? We have experiences and stories that have resulted in perspectives and meaning in our lives and our view of ourselves, God and the world. These have measures of truth, but also limitations and flat out lies intermingled. Truth is not a perspective or a commodity. Truth is a Person, Who brings healing and freedom as He is encountered.

Why does evil happen when God is so good and powerful? Paul Young, author of “The Shack”, “Eve”, and multiple best selling books, addresses what happens when God creates a world in which the possibility (the inevitability) of ‘no’ to love will occur, and then submits to that creation and its choices, and to the ripples of those choices. Because of this all manner of deviation occurs. But Love inhabits and assumes (rather than separates) in order to heal within and from the inside. Join Paul and ...
