My job is to reject trash and accept truth. Based on Philippians 4:8, fixing my thoughts on truth and rejecting the lies results in the god of peace bringing me comfort.

In Psalm 23:5b, David writes that the LORD, his shepherd, anoints his head with oil and that his cup overflows. As David sings his mind goes back to the time when Samuel the prophet anointed his head with oil in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon from that day forward. Oil indicated that he had been invested with power and authority and consecrated for holy purpose. David sings that his cup overflows symbolizing joy and gladness in the presence of the shepherd. Both the oil and the overflowing cup portray blessing and abundance at the banqueting table. David is to feast on Grace, not Fear. At this table there is no shortage. And neither the length of the walk through the dark valley of the shadow of death nor the presence of the enemy should ever spoil the party.

*This is dedicated to my mom. When I hear it, I hear her voice reading this to me as a child. It is helpful for me to remember that this is a SONG of David. The Psalms are meant to appeal to my emotions (like songs do). When I read this Psalm in that spirit, it causes me to rest. Psalm 23. A Psalm of David. INTRO: DAVID SINGS ABOUT HIS SHEPHERD 1 The Lord [is] my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. TRANSITION: DAVID SINGS TO HIS SHEPHERD ...DAVID SINGS ABOUT HIS PRESENCE IN DARK VALLEYS 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. ...DAVID SINGS ABOUT HIS PRESENCE AMIDST HIS ENEMIES 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; ...DAVID SINGS ABOUT HIS POSITION, POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER ENEMIES you anoint my head with oil

What’s the purpose of adversity and life stressors? It’s it to remind us of how gracious God is, how important life in community is, and a gentle reminder of who I am in regards to the imago dei… #confession #community #restoration #imagodei #freedom #FABcast.

The real reason why people talk trash on Hillary Clinton is because the made an agreement with the enemy that they are better than her. They heard the whispers of pride and came to an agreement and THEN they make remarks about her. We shouldn’t be talking trash on anybody, not because we approve of their behavior, but because we shouldn’t be making agreements with “those” voices. We should be choosing to see people as created in the imago dei. Philippians 2 3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. 5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. #FABcast.

What’s behind anger? Anger says, “You owe me….” The Gospel says, “nobody owe’s me a thing.” Also, there is no reason why someone else’s idol (anger) should well up within me an idol (anger). By the way, “Anger is just a charismatic worship service…of the wrong God.” -Dan Mohler. “Never forgive someone to their face” (The Grief Handbook). The antitode: Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. #FABcast.

I highly recommend this movie for anyone who has ever given in to sin... (wait for it). THAT'S ALL OF US! Synopsis from the heartofmanmovie.com The Heart of Man is a story inviting the sons and daughters of God to leave behind our broken, moralistic and religious way of thinking and relating to God and to others. Once we begin to know who God is (and as a result who we are), we have something to invite the world into. Freedom from performance. Freedom from managing our behavior so we appear acceptable to God. Freedom from our addictions, compulsive behaviors, secrecy and double lives. This film tears the veil of confusion over the church's current identity crisis and enables it to invite the rest of the world to the banquet God is throwing all of us. The film features emotional interviews with real people going through their mess and subsequent healing, and includes expert witnesses of such men as William Paul Young, author of the NY Times best-selling novel “The Shack”, Dan Allender, Ph.D, author of "The W
