The Lion of the tribe of Judah!

He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.  He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah.  And He is anything but tame.  We cannot “manage” Him.  We cannot dazzle Him with our “brilliance” and we cannot baffle Him with our BS.  It is either His way or the highway.

And this AWESOME (the word “awesome” should really not be used to describe anything else but Him) Lion loves you with a burning, undying, all-consuming passion that cannot be quenched — and cannot be controlled.  The only possible, sane option (as far as eternity and reality are concerned), is to give in to this Fire and let Him have His way with you.  It may hurt at times.  It may burn up some things that you have held precious.  But it will inject true, glorious, eternal joy and adventure and purpose and fascination into your life…to the degree that it will seem as if you never really were alive before you met Him.

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” (Hebrews 12:28-29)

JOYFUL JOYFUL!!!!!!!!

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of Glory, Lord of Love!
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above!
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt away.
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the Light of day!

He is not a tame lion…

He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.  He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah.  And He is anything but tame.  You cannot “manage” Him.  You cannot dazzle Him with your “brilliance” and you cannot baffle Him with your BS.  It is either His way or the highway.

Things Above!

The temporal things of this worldly life are inevitably eroding over time.  And if our hearts are attached to them, our hearts will erode along with them. So…

“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things ABOVE, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things ABOVE, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, WHO IS YOUR LIFE(!), appears, then you will also appear with Him in GLORYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!” (Colossians 3:1-4)

LIGHT INVASION!!!

YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!

INVADE SOMEONE’S DARKNESS TODAY!!!

LIFE vs mere existence…

ETERNAL LIFE is not merely an existence that has no end.
Instead, it is a brilliant, flaming FIRE that cannot be extinguished by ANY circumstance or opposition, including death, darkness or time.
