Taking God for granted (1 Samuel 13)

In the beginning, it was all good vibes.

That could’ve been us (1 Samuel 12)

And it still could be us.

The missing piece in our relationship with God (1 Samuel 10)

Maybe we did it once, but neglected to keep it up.

Will we ever be good enough for God? (1 Samuel 6)

Who can manage to measure up to God's standards? Can anyone?

Does God want me to fake it until I make it? (Ruth 1)

One day, surely, my feelings will catch up. Right?

It is impossible to follow God (Deuteronomy 28)

Raise your hand if you have ever been able to fully obey God and follow all His commands. Exactly.

I have something for you. (Deuteronomy 14)

Stop complaining about all God wants to take from you. Open your eyes to every good thing He is ready to give you.

Some Jesus that you used to know (Numbers 32)

What if your significant other falls out of love with you? What if your friends get tired of you? I wonder if God ever asks those questions about us.

I’ll buy it for you (Numbers 29)

He'd move mountains for us, stay up all night talking to us, pour out blessings so that we won't have room for them. How can we resist that? How do we give that energy right on back to Him?

Do our Christian traditions need to be cancelled? (Numbers 10)

And for every one of our Christian "traditions", there's someone pointing out everything wrong with it.

There's someone calling for us to drop it and move on.

There's someone thinking, Really? God will only save us, listen to us, like us if we do this?
