What the wife wants, the wife gets

Yesterday, Ann’s first comment to me after having read my post was, ‘I can’t wait for part two.’ To which I dumbfoundedly replied, ‘Uh, whaddaya mean?’  She says I need to explain what it looks like to be a window.  So, here is my best shot…

There needs to be a transparency to our lives.  The clearer the glass, the less visible we become and the more visible this extraordinary power we have shines through.  Of course, this means we have to get honest with ourselves first.  We have to see where God’s light is coming through and then deal with areas that are keeping out the light, not just pretending they aren’t there or that they are so dirty they could never possibly come clean.  And, of course, this means that we are going to need to be offended at ourselves enough to cause us to want to change, knowing that we may be trading something that is perfectly good for something that is even better.  His way is always, always better.

In a way, it goes back to the basics of Sunday school…  We have a light(a window scene). We aren’t going to hide it. We are going to protect it from Satan’s stinky breath. And we will persevere till Jesus comes back.  Let is shine, let it shine, let it shine.  And let all the people SEE the beauty through you.

Protect your head

To clarify yesterdays post, I don’t necessarily agree that challenging non-christians to a debate is the right way to advance God’s glory.  I do think that thoughtful study of the Bible is good to strengthen our own faith.  After all, it is referred to as the ‘helmet of salvation’.  Here are my top 10 guys(in no particular order) that can help you protect your head…

1. John Piper

2. CS Lewis

3. Jonathan Edwards

4. Mark Driscoll

5. AW Tozer

6. Dallas Willard

7. Jerry Bridges

8. Tom Challies

9. George Mueller

10. Sean McDowell
