I can't imagine what life is going to look for eternity. I mean right now my humanism forces me think a certain way, 90% of that is selfish. So what will life look like when I don't have this fallen, human side to be any longer? What will I be consumed with when I know longer thinking about myself? Is that when I can truly worship God, when I can get rid of myself? Romans 8 talks about the pain we are all in right now waiting for that time when God will come back. Boy do I feel that pain, that tug of war inside of me. The best we can do is acknowledge this battle and ask God the Father for victory today, and then come back again tomorrow. Hope you are doing well, still praying for you.
Eph. 1:1-14
Hey new book.
There is so much in these opening verses of Ephesians it would be impossible to pick out just a few. I would encourage you not to just slim through this section but take your time and break it down. Stop at each point and right it out and then think about how that point connects with the others. Be lovers of the word and soak it up, that term lovers of the word is appropriate because you would never just be so flip about a person you loved, so don't be flip about God's word.

Wow, these verses really made me think about a lot of stuff.
One thing I noticed though, was through the passage, it kept using the word ''predestined''.
- that word should make anyone think. I guess it goes back to the whole free will thing in a way, which is just absolutely confusing to the human planet !!
So tell me what you think cause it is confusing.
- That's funny how one tiny little word can make a person's mind go crazy.
Oh, keep praying for me, cause I'm still nervous about talking in front of EVERYONE this coming Wednesday about prayer.
Thanks :)
Yes, that is awfully confusing...it's something that has been hotly debated in my Reformed Doctrine class, and hearing good arguments for both sides makes it all the more confusing.
Laney, you know I'm praying for you :)

when I read this is made me think!! Like God picked me to be here....He knew where I was going to be here way before time. He picked me out special...He picked out everyone special no matter what he cares...He sees me perfect with no harm done....Then you look at what pastor dan says and how he said forever with God...eternity..forever!! I mean this is mind blowing!! Then God wants to to share His kingdom with Him but how can he do that with people who spend 90% of the time thinking or doing things for themselves...I just want to take time and be less self-centered and be more God-centered
I know!
Stuff like that really makes you think hard, really hard.
I'm definitely going to try to be less self-centered as well.
It's a hard task, but I think that people who really try and really want to, can totally accomplish it!!
