The Real You Is On The Side

Every Man Carries A Wound. I Have Never Met A Man Without One. No Matter How Good Your Life May Have Seemed To You, You Live In A Broken World Full Of Broken People.

We Have No Idea Who We Really Are. Whatever Glory Bestowed, Whatever Glory Is Being Restored, We Thought The Whole Christian Thing Was About... Something Else. Trying Not To Sin. Going To Church. Being Nice. Jesus Says It Is About Healing Your Heart, Setting It Free, Restoring Your Glory. A Religious Fog Has Tried To Veil All That, Put Us Under Some Sort Of Spell Or Amnesia, To Keeup Us From Coming Alive.

Don't Climb On That, Don't Break Anything, Don't Be So Aggressive, Don't Be So Noisy, Don't Be So Messy, Don't Make Such Crazy Risks. But God's Design - Which He Placed In Boys As The Picture Of Himself - Is A Resounding Yes. Be Fierce, Be Wild, Be Passionate.

Most Christians Are Still Living With An Old Testament View Of Their Heart. Jeremiah 17:9 Says, 'my Heart Is Deceitfully Wicked.' No, It's Not. Not After The Work Of Christ, Because The Promise Of The New Covenant Is A New Heart.

The Meaning Of Our Lives Is Revealed Through Experiences That At First Seem At Odds With Each Other--moments We Wish Would Never End And Moments We Wish Had Never Begun.
