(guest blogger, Vicky English) My thoughts for today

As I sit and think about the time we spent at Metro Ministries yesterday one question keeps coming to my mind.

WHAT DOES GOD LOOK LIKE?

I really have no way of knowing. Does He look like the gentleman, Arthur, that I spent time talking with yesterday? Or Troy? Or any of the 38 homeless we interacted with?

My thougt is that since we all are God's children shouldn't we treat others as we would if we could physically see Jesus standing with us.

Not one of God's children is any less important than the other. Shouldn't those of us who, through His grace, have a warm place to lay our heads every night do all that we can to help our brothers and sisters who don't?

This is a passion for me. My heart overflows for men, women and children who have to live this way.

If nothing else please help me in showing all people what the love of Jesus is all about.

The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
