Bono on karma vs grace

Super abounding Grace

Compassion

Bethel Church, Redding

"I am tired of people who support the unbelief of other Believers and call it compassion." Bill Johnson

Sympathy is the human response to trouble. Compassion is God's response to pain. The first keeps you in your struggle...the later invites you out of your problem. - Kris Vallotton KVMinistries.com

Its worth living this dream

"God had a dream and wrapped your body around it."

Never gives up

Sailing - bound for life

Phil Wickham - Sailing on a Ship Lyrics

A voice is on the wind
It calls me further in
I’m heading deeper into Your heart
Your mark is on my chest
My sails filled with your breath
You guide me by the light of the sun

I’m sailing on a ship that’s bound for life
I wrestle with the wind against the tide
I'd leave it all behind to reach for more
I’m sailing on to Your golden shore, to Your golden shore

The skies go blue to grey
And I’m thrown from wave to wave
You still will hear these lungs singing hard
With every storm I face
I find a greater grace
That pulls me deeper into Your heart

I’m sailing on a ship that’s bound for life
I wrestle with the wind against the tide
I'd leave it all behind to reach for more
I’m sailing on to Your golden shore

I’m sailing on a ship that’s bound for life
I wrestle with the wind against the tide
I leave it all behind to reach for more
I’m sailing on to where the water’s running sweet and bright
The sun is rising in the eastern sky
I'd leave it all behind to reach for more
I’m sailing on to Your golden shore

in unexpected ways

insulted, excluded, lied about

To the Blessed Ones—those today and throughout history who have been insulted, excluded, and lied about for simply following the Lamb beyond the accepted norms of tradition and culture.  MATTHEW 5:11

THIS IS THE DAY


Can you hear it?
The gentle voice of the Spirit
There's no reason to fear it
He's calling You to life

Just surrender
Run into the arms of the Father
The night is finally over
Take a step into the light

This is the day when the lost are found
This is the day for a new beginning
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Oh, can you hear all the angels are singing
This is the day
The day when life begins

Can you see it?
A light shines into the darkness
Bringing hope to the hopeless
It's leading you to life

This is the day
When all your sins are washed away
In the waves of His unending grace
Forever you're alive

This is the day when the lost are found
This is the day for a new beginning
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Oh, can you hear all the angels are singing?
This is the day
The day when life begins

Have no fear salvation has come
And He is here
Have no fear salvation has come
And He is here
Have no fear
Have no fear

This is the day when the lost are found
This is your beginning
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Oh, I can hear the angels sing

This is the day when the lost are found
This is the day for a new beginning
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Oh, can you hear all the angels are singing?
This is the day
The day when life begins

Goodness

“The cornerstone of all theology is the goodness of God.”

 ~Bill Johnson

song of peace

"I sing over you My song of peace

Cast all your care down at My feet

Come and find your rest in Me

I'll breathe My life inside of you

I'll bear you up on eagle's wings

And hide you in the shadow of My strength

I'll take you to My quiet waters

I'll restore your soul

Come rest in Me and be made whole"

------From Kari Jobe's song "My Beloved" --
