It's all about seeking and finding God. If
you are willing to look then you will find God. We believe we
can help in your search. Read the articles below, meditate on
the content and be open-minded. Finding God is not hard. Remember
- you are not alone.
WHY?
Why should I be concerned with finding God?
Consider the old joke: "I have three favorite people: me,
myself and I!"
Not everyone is an egomaniac, but we all
suffer from self-centeredness. Whether we recognize it or not,
we often behave as if we are the center of our own universe.
We try to run the show and act on self-propulsion. Some of us
are even pretty good at directing others and exerting control.
Eventually this is a dead-end. It's simply an impossible scenario
for each of us to run the world around us. People are going
to resist and resent it. Besides many other people are trying
to run everything, too. It's the "too many cooks in the
kitchen" syndrome.
That's not what I was taught!
This probably goes against the grain of what
you've been taught. We are told from early age that we need
to apply ourselves, work hard and be the best we can. The trouble
comes when we try to do this with the self in the director's
chair. You don't have to look very far to see what a mess we
make of our lives and the world when we try to run things on
our own power. There is really only one who has all power.
Turning your life and will over to a loving
God is a big step. Oh what sweet release when we do! It's like
lifting a very heavy weight from your shoulders. So let go,
resign from your job as the chief executive officer of the world!
It's too big of a job and none of us are equipped for it.
Get
out of self
The apostle Paul knew the importance of getting
out of self and doing for others. In one of his many epistles
he wrote, "Don't be selfish; don't live to make a good
impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better
than yourself. Don't think only about your own affairs, but
be interested in others, too, and what they are doing."
(Philippians 2:3-4)
Letting go of our lives and turning to our Heavenly Father can
be scary. There are still going to be problems in your life.
Events might seem overwhelming at times. You could face incredible
trials and tribulations (you probably will some time in your
life).
You have to have faith and trust in God that if we let Him run
the show he'll do a good job. We want to encourage you and we
want you to know we are right there with you. We're human and
subject to mistakes, failure and sin. However, we believe that
in finding God we've found a better way to live. We are choosing
to live the solution. There is a solution and it is available
to everyone! Are you ready to know
God?
