Isaiah 25-28

Read these chapters now with the BIBLE READER to the left of this post, or at www.bible.com.

TALKING TO GOD.

Hopefully you've realized that the book of Isaiah is about God talking to Isaiah, and Him telling Isaiah what's going to happen, so we can prepare the way... and blah blah blah.

But I keep wondering: how come ISAIAH gets to talk to God, like in person? I've always thought that would be so cool, to be able to have a conversation with God. I know what you're thinking, "Come on, Carly! If you pray, you can have a conversation with God whenever you want!"

But don't you just wish you could sit on your couch and see God right next to you? Wouldn't that be AWESOME?

Sometimes, people see angels and God right before they pass away. I've always been fascinated by that, too.

I guess the whole point of this blog/rant/thing is to tell you guys how awesome it will be one day, where we can see God face to face. Not only Him, but we'll see loved ones, and it will be total bliss.

We have a lot to look forward to one day, but we need to make the best of this life down on earth. We need to tell others of what they could miss out on... just like I'm doing with you!

Tell others, pray about it... because one day, when we see God face to face, wouldn't that be cool for Him to pat us on the back and tell us how proud He is of us?

Peace.

The World that We Live In- A Prayer

Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of The Killers, included a beautiful lyric in one of his songs, "The World that We Live In." This is the world that we live in, and I feel myself get tired. Boy, is this ever true. I just started a new job this summer, which is so exciting, but in all of that excitement I have been so busy adjusting to working life that I really haven't had time to poke my head out and look up at the world around me.  In some respects, that's a good thing. I have been able to temporarily shield myself from state of our nation and the hurtful rhetoric being used against the least of these. However, when I do have time, or if there is something that is just too big to ignore, it hits me like a train. I am suddenly, instantly aware of just how broken our world is, and how deeply we need our Lord Jesus to come. Maranatha . And, when I get overwhelmed… When my thoughts are too vast and too incomprehensible and I have a hard time sleeping at night,...

Daniel 9-12 Read these final chapters of Daniel now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at http://www.biblegateway.com/ !!!!!CHRISTIANITY MYTHS REVEALED!!!! I think a lot of times, Christianity comes across as some strict religion for church-goers and saints. You have to give alllll your time and alllll your money away to the church, and you have to stay clear of alllll sins to get into heaven. But I'm here to say THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. Don't get me wrong-- it's not easy to be a follower of Jesus. We have to make sacrifices of time and energy to set ourselves different from the rest of the world. It's hard sometimes to do what Jesus wants us to do instead of what we want to do. But all of these things are easily payed for with the grace, peace, and love that only our God can give. Anyway-- I know that there's this myth that Christians have really strict laws to abide by. That we have to live a perfect life, and blah blah blah. In today's...

Jeremiah 25-27 Read these now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at www.bible.com . JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED! It's a cheesy line. But it's simple, and true, and completely supported by the devotion today. The reading we read was about a choice God was giving to His people-- they could listen to Him or they couldn't... and most of them chose not to. But it makes me wonder... if we're given an ultimatum, and we chose the wrong thing, is it right if we're punished? For instance, I tell my sister that she can hit me, or not hit me. But if she DOES, I'll steal all her money. She chooses herself to hit me, so I steal all her money. Does that seem unfair? She knew what would happen to her if she chose wrong. So really, I think that it's her fault. Does that make sense? This isn't a real situation, by the way :) God told the people they could listen or not listen, and when they didn't... there would be consequences. God is a God of justice, and...
