Genesis 12:1-4 (NASB). “Now the LORD said to Abram, ‘Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father's house, To the land which I will show you; And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I Will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed." So Abram went forth as the LORD had spoken to him; and Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.”

“When God Says “Go” By In Touch Ministries:

“Our faith in God grows when we choose to obey even when it’s hard.”

“In verse 1 of today’s passage, the English translation “go” doesn’t capture the emphasis suggested by the verb in Hebrew, the original language of the Old Testament. This word is not a suggestion, a statement, or a request; it’s a command—”Go! Now! Get up and move!”

The rest of verse 1 underscores precisely what God’s “Go!” would look like for the aging Abram. The Lord was calling him to leave everything he knew—his land, his family, and his home—to head into the unknown without a map. God had a destination in mind for him and his future descendants. And He promised to show the way and let Abram know when he arrived.

Verse 4 tells us Abram went. Though it’s possible he may have had second thoughts, Scripture doesn’t record them. Instead, the account tells us God commanded and Abram, in faith, obeyed.

Are there things God has commanded us to do that we treat as mere suggestions, statements, or requests? We sometimes look for loopholes or choose a semi-committed “maybe” in response to something God has instructed us to do. Abram understood there was only one righteous response to God’s imperative “Go!” That was a “Yes, Lord”—which he promptly demonstrated with his full obedience.”

#thinking about biblical stories outside of sanctified scripture again #god had asked that abraham sacrifice his son #do you think he knew that one day he was going to have to sacrifice his own son too #that he had his first most faithful follower show him what it must be for humans to grieve and to obey - because was it truly inevitable?#this thing that fathers must do for the 'people'?#or maybe he didn't know - that his powers actually cannot grant him the ability to foresee #do you think about how as he sat there on his throne while his son was brought onto the cross he felt abraham turn to him in silence #''do you feel the ache?'' abraham doesn't ask but he doesn't need to #sun rambles

Before You Move...

We need to wait on God’s voice before we move, more and more. The days of doing things because it’s a good idea or because everyone is going the same way must be rethought (if that’s a word). We need to go back to the drawing board and rethink how we are living because we are in the end times and there are so many voices, trying to show us the “true” way which is not the way God wants us to…

“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” —Philippians 2:13 (NLT)

“...for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” —Philippians 2:13 (ESV)

“What does Philippians 2:13 mean?” By BibleRef.com:

“In verse 12, Paul commands the Philippian Christians to “work out [their] own salvation”, meaning they are to put the truth of their belief into practice. What they are in Christ needs to be “worked out” through their actions and attitudes. The reason for this command is given here in verse 13: God is acting through the lives of these believers. This understanding should lead believers to a deep sense of awe and appreciation.

Paul then adds two areas in which God operates in the life of the believer. First, God works in us to “will” His good pleasure. This includes the idea of placing desires or leading a believer to serve the Lord.

Second, God works in us “to work” for His good pleasure. God's Spirit in the believer gives both the desire and the strength to live for the Lord.“Work” appears as a common theme in this letter (Philippians 1:6; 2:12, 25, 30; 4:3). The idea of “his good pleasure” involves obedience (Philippians 2:12) according to God's Spirit. This is not the legalistic obedience of the law that Paul speaks against in the false teachings of the circumcision group, but rather obedience based on a love for God based on the Spirit living within the believer.”

Trust and Obey (Deuteronomy 32:44-47)

When it comes to passing on the faith and spiritually forming others, we must have a holistic concern for both what and whom is being taught, as well as how to teach and why we do it.

Moses and His People, by Marc Chagall, 1973 Moses and Joshua son of Nun recited this song, so that the people of Israel could hear it. When Moses had finished giving God’s teachings to the people, he said, “Be sure to obey all these commands that I have given you today. Repeat them to your children, so that they may faithfully obey all of God’s teachings. These teachings are not empty words;…

ꗃ — you're so shy, my love.

ever thought that the shy and quiet ones are the funniest to tease? because i do, teasing them to see what might happen when they reach their limit.

cw / tw : unspecified character x reader. suggestive and spicy, mdni.

shy and quiet men have my heart. i love how it takes nothing from you for them to blush furiously, their face burning hot even at the slightest touch, at the smallest smile, at the simplest kiss. i love that lovesick, head over heels look in their eyes whenever they land on you, their partner, their soulmate, the one holding their heart in the palm of your hand. i love how smitten they are with you, how they're willing to kiss the very ground you walk on like you're a deity who graced them with your time and love and effort and kindness and so on. i love how they are so embarrassed when you tease them in public, your hands subtly touching where they need it the most, kissing the spot between their ear and neck, then kissing their jawline all the way to their lips, how you whisper the most disgusting and lewdest things in their ear, describing in the detail what you wanna do once you're in the privacy of your home, where people won't see how you ravish each other to the point of exhaustion. but i especially love how these quiet, shy men turn into something akin to feral and animalistic once people's eyes aren't on you two any longer. how they drag you to the bedroom and throw you on the mattress, tearing apart all layers of clothes on your body and slamming in you right away, the obscene quantity of juices you leaked enough to have you ready for them. how they fuck you senseless, knocking the stars out of your vision, until you're nothing less than a braindead, cheap slut hungry for their cock and their cum, but unable to endure their length bullying your poor walls any longer. how you try to escape but they pull you back in position, making you scream when they slam themselves inside your raw, hypersensitive pussy again, telling you to stay still and get what you asked. how they fuck you until you pass out late into the night, finally deciding it's enough and you can sleep. and finally, how the morning after they're back to their shy, quiet usual self, bringing you breakfast in bed and cuddling you, running a warm bath to help your sore body relax, carrying you bridal style all around the house since you can't walk, your legs feeling like jelly. and you think you love your shy, quiet men, both when they're worshipping you like a deity and when they're fucking you like the dirtiest of whores.

"I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Walk Through Scripture: Luke 16-18

We are starting the year walking through the Gospel of Luke together, and we are beginning the final third of this book. If you are new to studying the Bible, or if you are interested in some new tools to help you, check these out:

5 Steps to Understand the Bible. Start here. Give yourself a fighting chance of understanding what you are reading.

If you are beginning with the first book of the Bible, Genesis, I wrote a series of posts on the story of Joseph. Joseph is a major character at the end of the book of Genesis, and the story of Joseph and his brothers is a little messy and complicated. Here is the first of those posts: Joseph: A Story of Redemption.

If you aren’t starting in Genesis, the Gospels (stories of Jesus) is a good place to begin. Over several weeks, I’m walking through Luke, 3 chapters a week. This is the third post, to find the earlier posts, check them out here:

Luke 1-3

Luke 4-6

Luke 7-9

Luke 10-12

Luke 13-15

Luke 16 – Faith is a funny thing

Years ago, I would go with a friend onto the streets of Kansas City and share with people the good news of Jesus. I didn’t preach from a megaphone, but I would try to engage someone in a conversation, and see if I could steer it toward Jesus. I have a lot of memories from those conversations, but one that sticks out. I was talking with one young man about what it would take for him to believe in Jesus. He said to me, “It would take Jesus himself to stand here before me to believe that He is the true Messiah.”

I was reminded of that conversation, and several I’ve had since, while reading Luke 16. Jesus is hitting the topic of money hard in this chapter, but he’s really addressing the concept of faith. What will you believe in? Where will you put your faith?

I see two main points from Jesus as I read through Luke 16.

You can’t put your trust in something or someone AND God.

We have everything we need to believe, so don’t look for another sign.

Following Jesus is a challenge. Sometimes faith isn’t easy, so I choose to put my faith in someone or something else that is more tangible. I want more evidence before I walk forward in faith. But that is the catch about faith.

Faith is a funny thing. The more I choose to believe, the more faith I will have. The more I lean solely on Jesus, the easier it is to continue trusting in him. It’s when I choose to trust in him, that Jesus shows up as the Messiah. Faith begins with my step.

What step do you need to take?

Luke 17 – Questions, Stories, Faith + Obedience

Jesus has a funny way of answering questions. He seems to have two ways of responding to people. Jesus either starts by asking an other question, which is his go to when dealing with the Pharisees, or he tells a story. When Jesus’ answer to the question comes in the form of a story, the answer is unclear without some mental digging.

The first part of Luke 17 is another example of how Jesus answers a question – this time with a random example of serving a master. Jesus starts off fairly direct,

“The apostles said to the Lord, “Show us how to increase our faith.” The Lord answered, “If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘May you be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you!” -Luke‬ ‭17:5-6‬

Then he begins to ask questions in the form of a story. If you’re a servant, how would you react when the master asked you to do even more chores at the end of a hard days work? You would do it.

But what does this have to do with faith? Let’s dig a little bit…

Faith and obedience go hand in hand. When I obey Jesus, even in the small but difficult task, I build my faith. God does something inside of me that can’t be measured when I obediently respond to His call.

Sometimes the reason for the request will seem obvious, but other times the purpose will allude you. This is when faith kicks in. This is when our small amount of faith (as tiny as a mustard seed) to simply obey Jesus begins to grow into something more powerful (as massive as a mountain).

Luke 18 – What do you want?

This chapter ends with a story of a blind man who hears through the grapevine Jesus is approaching. He unashamedly screams out Jesus name. To the surprise of the those standing around, Jesus responds to the man. Jesus asks what the man wants.

What a great question! The answer seems obvious, but what if the man didn’t care if he was blind?

Read carefully, and you’ll see this entire chapter was encounters and stories with blind people. An unjust judge, a self-righteous Pharisee, hard-hearted disciples, a rich young man — all were blind to who they were and what they really needed. When the the truth is pointed out, most didn’t want to see. They wanted to keep living the way they were…blind.

What do you want?

It’s not such a crazy question. In fact, it’s a brilliant question, and one we don’t ask enough ourselves. We don’t ask it of other people, and we don’t ask it of ourselves. What do I want? Are my spiritual eyes open, so I can answer that question clearly?

What do you want? Are your spiritual eyes open, so you can answer that question clearly?
