How God Speaks

I guess there are several ways that God speaks to us, but for me - sometimes He has to combine a few methods to get through. It really is cool to see how much God intervenes in our lives. God does answer prayer - like God help me to become a better person - improve my character; we prayer this recently at our Sunday morning service and boom things are set in motion.

So at Christmas dinner - my dad tells me about a book - Integrity by Cloud and then I start reading this book shortly after that prayer - I'm challenged and yet trying to determine if I buy in to the concepts being presented and then a conflict arises with a peer that challenges this part of my character that I believe the Lord wants to develop in my life and then of all things a friend of mine brings up this very issue in a regular conversation and then I'm reading the sports section and it is an article about Brian Billick the coach of the Ravens and how he dealt with some of these issues with his team and finally I get it - all of this put together is the Lord at work in my life. God - you are so good!

On another front - we kick off our Tough Questions series this weekend with "Why Does it matter what I believe"? - check back next week to see how it went...
