THE SPIRITUALITY OF FACE BOOK AND TWITTER

Ephesians 1:13
 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit

On those days when I twitter and tweet and connect on face book, I am completely amazed how much of peoples lives they are willing to share with their friends, friends of friends, and in some cases everyone: Feelings are expressed freely. Wants waft through the cyberspace of these connectional sites with ease. Thoughts are thrown to the world wide web in a wonderful (some cases not so wonderful) way.  Music and Poetry of all kinds are shared in an attempt to "share" the real me that is me.  Pictures, prayer request, potential struggles, present struggles,  powerful joys, praise reports, sorrows and other happenings of our loved ones (with us and gone on to their eternal reward), are all there. And they are "shared" with the secure (maybe not so secure) knowledge that those who receive them really do care.  They are shared with the desire to not be alone.  They are shared to be included.

To be included is indeed a wonderful glorious thing. The pain of rejection is the opposite, and it hurts when we are NOT accepted.   We need to be important and a part of the whole.  We need to be connected to people who think we matter and who matter to us.  And when they some how break that connection, it hurts more than words can sometimes express.  Yes, the spirituality of Face Book and  Twitter flows across this planet with blinding speed as each one cries out "Please see me, hear me, feel me, love me, help me, "friend" me.  Please include me. It's in our spiritual DNA.

This desire has a more deeper plane that goes to the heart, soul and even to the spirit of the matter.  It finds its rest deep within us.  And there is only ONE who can truly fill that empty space and empty place completely. We all have done something wrong.  We have broken the ancient rules of eternity. We have DE- friended the ONE who would be the best friend we could ever imagine. We have rejected He whom Ancient Wisdom Writing says is pure LOVE.  Yet rather than reject us, He has reached out to "FRIEND" us.  He has  made it possible for our names a to be placed  in data base the Bible calls The Book Of Life.  He removes the sin virus from the hard drive of our soul so we can live more fully... so we can live eternally... so can be complete and whole.   And, as the WORD above says, we will be" INCLUDED" in God's family IN Christ, as we hear this "Word of Truth" this Gospel of your Salvation." AND we will be SECURE in THIS "CONNECTION" once and for all.

Now Abba has set up this eternal site before this old planet was ever created. Before cyber space was ever put in place or we had anything resembling "My Space,"  He made our connection with Him (God) possible through His Son, Jesus.  He wants to include you in His  friends list.   He even has prepared a home for you. He has done all that needs to be done for you to be "connected" or included.  Now sign up.  "Friend" Him.  ( Make Psalm 51 your connection code.)  Learn what it is like to be really connected to the source of eternal life.  Then ...

Be Blessed 2-Day... Especially 2-Day

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Looking Back To Have A Future: Overcoming Storms

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
