One Team

It's really quite interesting how we draw a line between good God-ly folks and bad folks, or sinners and saints. You do this, you are a saint. You do that, you are a sinner. What's even more sad are the standards that we apply to identify the traits of individuals who fit into either of these categories. If you attend church regularly, pray sometimes and own a Bible, you get to carry the good saint label. But, if you don't ever attend or can't quote scripture, then of course you are a heathen to be prayed for. Based on what you say, do or think at any given moment, or what people see you do, hear you say, or think you think, you could end up in either category.

How crazy is that? Here we are. supposedly all brothers and sisters in Christ for real, for real, and we sound like Republicans, Democrats or Tea Party candidates. Who are we to judge each other? Who said you have a better position with God than I do? How do you know what God says to me when we are alone? Don't you know your junk and your trash smell just as bad as my junk and my trash, no matter what church covering you might have.

Well, it's time out for that junk. There is too much at stake to be divisive and judgmental. There is to much mess out here eating the souls and spirits of all of God's children for us to be sitting around gazing at heaven and thanking God for how anointed, appointed and just plain Christian we are.

With this blog, I challenge everyone to see God in the everyday, every moment and every second, and to share those sightings. In this blog we won't chastise you for not knowing the appropriate scriptural reference. Or call you out because you were at the club drunk last night and posting about God's goodness today. We won't drag your name down because you were under the anointing on Sunday and under  Tyrone, Bobby, James, Moesha, Pam (or whatever that person's name was) on Monday.

Nope. We won't do any of that. The only thing we will do is celebrate God and make note of his movement in our lives. I want to talk about how God helped your dirty butt out when he should have kicked you to the curb. Or how he sent you the rent money through someone you had just said some really nasty stuff about. (And besides you went shopping with your rent money). Or how he cleaned you up and helped you get over the shame and disgust at some of the stuff you did last year, last month or last week.

In this blog I want to celebrate God and I want you to help me do that. Share, share, share with no judgment and no correction and for the purpose of lifting up God.

John 12:32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me.(I didn't say you couldn't use scripture just that you didn't have to. Hey, we might all learn something accidentally)

 So hit me up and help me magnify. Praise God.

P.S. Oh yeah, a big thanks to and a shout to Pastor Jolinda Wade. Don't forget, when God commands you to do something, get your butt up (well she didn't quite say that), forget about your feelings, lack, attitude, beliefs, clothes, boyfriend, girlfriend, sister, brother, mother, baby's daddy, baby's momma, employment, unemployment - all of your issues and garbage that keeps you from obeying God and do it ANYHOW.

P.S.S. And another thing. You hear from God. You just don't know it sometimes. So don't go there.

All Love.

Nightcap:
Find your passion and you will have discovered your God-ordained purpose. Knowing and understanding your purpose can be the difference between living a God-centered life and productive life, and living a self-centered, meaningless life. God first...

Thoughts....have you found your purpose or are your even sure what that journey looks like?
