Extraciricular Thoughts With God

did god create hell?
what is hell?
seperation from god.
is that really something?
its knowing what god didnt create.
god created life and a purpose for it.
is there things that god dint create?
pain.
seperationg.
sin.
his creation encountered these.
how?
living/acting against gods will.
did god create them?
as punishment?
maybe its a byproduct of "life."
all things made were made through him.
partial ownership to the "un-ness" of god.
so its true.
i dont know how.
nor does it matter how.
hell is.
seperation.
from god.
would god remove himself?
john 6:37 "...and whoever comes to me i will never drive away."
maybe hell is an attempt to be god.
to make life. (what you want)
so why is hell a bad thing?
god alone is good.
so without god there is only bad.
god is.
he can not be a without.
a man goes without.
away from god.
to hell.



just a random process i had with god last night and thought i would share it as part of this

The Right Path To Life

i dont know hoe i feel about end times. i dont think im excited about it. and i think it would be crazy to be a part of.
we know we lived wisely if we live according to gods will. for surely true wisdom lies with him. and it means encouraging others to live wisely. the implications are where im at. being in service to god for others. so that they may know god and his everlasting life.
is it just? theres 2 possible outcomes for life dependant upon 1 decision. will you follow god? the end result is directly correlated to how you live your life. follow god, know god forever. dont follow god, well you forfeit the life god intended for you. so is it just? that god gives eternal life to some and not others? is it something god really does? he offers. its a personal experiance to accept or deny. is it just? god offered, made it possible. wheres the justice? i dont think it applys.

Confessing For Your Group

none of this is speaking anything to me. all my brain recognizes is praise for healing me. praise god for healing the germs in my throat. his compassion is great.

God Encounters

lazy or something

King Of The Universe

yeah gods kingly rule is evident. knowing god is in charge doesnt scare me. it is comforting. he is a good king. a good heart. a heart for all his people. and his heart for the idividual. if gods in control all i have to be is willing to walk in his path. it can be diffivult but it is comfort to know that god is working for hte better of things. with catastrophies and such happening and believing that god does rule in this and every moment. i just feel that god is god. he is the ruler. he knows reasons ,answers, and purposes and i dont. now it seems relatble that other rulers in history have ecountered all the same events. a king is a king. a ruler of people. can he be everything for everyone? no. but as a collective the king can rule for a whole. can bad things still happen to his subjects even if he really cares for them? yes. can the king stop such disasters? he can try. he can use his kingly influence. but can in no direct way rule his people perfectly. to call god a king in this regard is almsot insulting. but whats awesome about god is he is the king of kings. god is so much more! god can be the cause and the shelter. and its out of his love that hes is both.

When Doing The Right Thing Is Against The Law

its like daniel was looking for trouble. he prayed like he always did (where) and it was in the sight of people. sure dont hide your faith , but dont make a show of it either. no matter what room your in you can face whatever direction you need to. so daniel knowing the issued decree prays where he will be seen. like he wanted to get caught.
if i was there with daniel i probably wouldnt be at his side in prayer. i would encourage him but say dont get caught. dont pray in that room. i would still pray myself but probably not in the open. but i guess i do pray when im about normal business and people dont know so maybe...
i dont see the obediance here. i see daniels disobediance to king darius. but i dont see it saying he was obeying god. he thanked and praised. no doubt he was obediant to god but it doesnt really show that. im sure he had his struggle with god, do i pray? where? ok god i will. it just says he prayed. not he obeyed. maybe im supposed to see dont obey what is wrong. i dunno. would go ask obediance to give up civil liberties? why not. its hard sometimes but god wants for me to follow his guidance. and it isnt that its worth it to do so, its my pleasure to bless god. i dont matter. its not that i am rewarded, but that gods name be glorified.
and later...king darius makes the law that you must fear and rever god. wow! i had only heard of laws making god illegal but this is amazing that having faith is the standard for living.

Not A Schorch Mark

i think this would have made me afraid of god. afraid of his power and what he could do and i would be really freaked out.
and god your protection is so awesome that those carrying the 3 into the furnace were burned to a crisp. yet the flames did not harm the 3 bound men. that just amazes me so! god and that you protect me, you say you will and you do. your protection is amazing god. may i have courage to believe and walk in that.

The Shepherd And Me

god takes over as the shepherd. and shepherds the sheep unto him.

so not the best scan, or best sketch for that matter but there you have it

Learn From The Worst

i think ive learned from negative parenting examples but i guess i wont know till im a parent. well i see people and their lives and i think, i dont want to do that. i dont know if im learning but i do observe in other people ways i dont want to live.
ezekiel 18:32
repent and live
do not live in the brokeness any longer

A Mouthful

the taste i cant describe, but it is good and i dont want anything else. but to always have gods word on my tongue would be rad.
some scripture im struggling to understand is the second part of john chapter 5. because its kinda a circular single sided conversation. i just cant track the 2 in 1 god and even the 3 in 1.

God Encounters

again ive fallen into lazyness or whatever and didnt do this one

Remember, God, All We've Been Through

they knew what they were doing, or at least they should ahve. they were told to turn lest they become like the oppressed. they got what they deserved and like they even said, they sold themselves into slavery. and for god, how could he forget all of their past? and all that theyre going through. though god may not want to be consumed with the awareness of all their troubled days this set them up to be freed. they turn away yet god still comes to gather them to him. well my response to israel would be to not help them because they were given so many chances before. god always offers more.

In The Pit

the rains filled the pit just really hit me. its the oh thats how thing could get worse moment. and you came close when i called out. what more could anyone ever ask for than for you to draw near. even when life is at its hardest and you draw near, that is enough! to have your comfort and love.
i call out to god mostly out of selfishness. to hear or have what i want when. other times i just cry out for god. saying god i want to be with you! hear my voice, see my soul, restore me to you. or just be with me god. and yeah sometimes i just dont call out. i just dont want to try. or rarely i just want to sink deeper into the pit. and ive totally sensed the closeness of god. describing is hard because i just know and its not always the same. maybe i just feel his peace or joy or i see him (his evidence) in my surroundings. or i just have his love and blessing pouring over and out of me. i can just sense and feel what is not experienced by human hands alone.

When Dissapointment Comes

the feeling of hitting the bottom. and holding on to hope. the hope that gods love could not run out or his mercy dry up. this is an inspiring passage. and just the wisdom jeremiah lives. he clinged to god. passionately searching for him and enduring hardship.

God's Deep Commitment

if your gonna destroy something its gonna look intense. so im not surprised that god would give such a violent message. gods motives for destroying babylon...it is for good. for the good of israel. they couldnt pull themselves out of the bad so god is going to get rid of the bad they were in. god loves israel! he wants them. even though they sinned he wants them. so much that he is destroying part of what is leading them in sin.

Bad Things Happen To Very Good People

not very.
it doesnt feel anywhere near being enough for me. being stuck in the mud with nothing but gods companionship. i would feel almost hopeless. i would want to pray, "rescue me for this pit and hurry up and kill these people." hope in gods own being? gosh, i hope god will be. no! i know god is! but to focus on knowing god is and will will be instead of praying for rescue. no, its instinct and reaction that we would pray for self preservation. but regardless i would still want god to continue in whatever.

I Will Answer You

IT sticks out to me. that god says call to me and i will answer you. thats what i went through last week! its like god was giving me practice and encourtagement so that i could hear this tonight. i am excited to hear god say that to me. i do believe that god will answer me when i call out to him. why? because he has! god has shown me over and over that he will answer when i call out. in gods time, not mine but the truth remains that god will answer. i just feel excited to see this strength of gods character and his commitment to me. he says to me do not be discouraged. do no think i cant hear you. and dont think that i wont answer you for surely i wil!
