I realized that the deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by His letting us have our way in the end, but by His making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able honestly to pray what He taught His disciples to pray: Thy will be done. Acceptance of whatever that means is the great victory of faith that overcomes the world.

My Bride! Do you remember your first love and the feelings you had for me? Do you remember our long talks and the way that you wept with me? Do you remember our long walks and the way that you stepped with me? Do you remember the silence and the way that weâd listen to the wonder I created⌠and your eyes used to glisten like the stars⌠Iâm just kind of wondering where you are⌠The times you spend with me are far and in-between â I miss you. PLEASE! WONâT YOU COME AND MAKE MORE MEMORIES WITH ME? Iâm here with you, be here with me! I want to hold you and I want you to see that that cross you took up to follow me isnât dead and I am not another empty fleeting thing.

God, make complacency my enemy and Your fight. And may desperation by like David's key in my life.

I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the Rock of Ages.

Convinced
I've been trying to convince myself that being busy isn't unhealthy.Â
I've been trying to convince myself that God understands I am "tired".
I've also been convincing myself that I don't know how to pray and that God is mad at me and that Jesus is distant.
I am convinced that I am just prideful, lazy and wrong.
For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them. Proverbs 1:32
Accountability is not simply sharing your sins with one other.
Accountability is not bragging on the mistakes youâve made.
Accountability is not having a friend to make you feel better about yourself.
Accountability is two or more people pursuing holiness together by the grace of God while being conformed to the image of Christ, all the while being there to encourage each other when that seems almost impossible.
Accountability is being on the edge of sin and being able to call someone in that moment to pray over you, that the Holy Spirit would give you the power to overcome.
Accountability is loving a brother or sister in Christ enough to tell them that they are in sin, and that God has called them to live for such better things for such better reasons than they could ever imagine.
Letâs not water down Christian discipline, and let us please not forsake true biblical accountability.Â
El tumblr de Blake: Accountability.
Everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial.
Be intentional in striving toward holiness.

Gospel-Centered Leadership
Leaders who rest in their identity in Christ are better leaders. Leaders whose identity is in their performance or position or possessions lead poorly. We either fight to maintain a façade of our identity or we rest in our identity in Christ. We tirelessly work in our performance but we peacefully rest in our identity in Christ. Some of our declared positions in Christ are the following:
Dead to sin
Spiritually alive
Forgiven
Declared righteous
Child of God
Godâs possession
Heir of God
Blessed with all spiritual blessing
Citizen of heaven
Free from law
Crucified with him
Free from desires of flesh
Declared blameless
Light in the world
Victorious over Satan
Cleansed from sin
Set free from power of sin
Secure in him
At peace with God
Loved by God
Jesus spent his life resting in his identity and worshiping the Father. Out of identity in Christ, we courageously act on our faith in Christ and attempt great missional endeavors. Out of identity as one loved completely by God, we love others and extend shepherd care to them, resulting in a healthier community.
Gospel-centered ministry is not based on productivity. God is gracious, and we donât have to prove ourselves by our works. Rather, he wants us empowered by the Spirit, centered on the gospel so that he can use our foolish, imperfect lives to point people to the mission of God and the person and work of Jesus.
It's different
This is a weird season in my life.
In the past I have been pretty self righteous about "seasons' and have verbalized that I think growth is ongoing and that seasons imply otherwise. However, seasons are a biblical concept. To what extent that mirrors the modern-day Christianity use of the term, I do not know. I digress.
My hunger for God is different, diminished even. Maybe because it's not as new or fresh as it was when I first got to college.Â
My convictions are inconsistent. My feelings/behavior about modesty and drinking change on the regular, which is disconcerting but probably just means my motivations are misplaced and I am not rooted in the Word.Â
I want to grow in the Lord. But it's different, for different reasons-some I'm not even sure I want to discern.
I don't know. I love Jesus. My life is too much rooted in things that truly matter to Him- image, resume, appearance, popularity.
Ugh.
I wish I could tell you I've got it all figured out but then where would Jesus be?
Dating is not a pastime. It is a pathway to marriage.
Reblogging.
I'm sorry for all the reblogging lately. I have been dwelling in/struggling against alot of apathy in sin.
I just don't think I can post honest, genuine, thoughts about the Lord and what He is doing in me life when I don't know and haven't even been living out of a desire to find out.
This is not a post of self-pity. This is a part of me trying to be honest and vulnerable with myself and attempting to function out of that.

Faith is not Conjuring up, through an act of your will, a sense of certainty that something is going to happen. No, it is recognizing Godâs promise as an actual fact, believing it is true, rejoicing in the knowledge of that truth, and then simply resting because God said it.
L.B. Cownan (via alightforrevelation)
âSo I would close by simply saying to all believers who have the amazing standing as children of God and representatives of Jesus: Because Jesus went low, and because going low is the path of joy and because you are completely clean, donât exalt yourself, but go low in humble service.
Pastors, go...
