One should rather die than be betrayed. It is considered the willful slaughter of hope. James dietz

on the plane from Ed Lamance. Darlene's youth minister growing up. He really stretched my brain about spiritual warfare. Such a mysterious blessing that we met and were able to spend 3 hours from Nashville to Birmingham to Dallas. I feel like he really gave me some hope, encouragement and ideas for dealing with very difficult issues we all face in life. It couldn't have come at a better time. I could write more about it but it would fall short of what happened in our conversation and his teaching. He drew diagrams on the vomit bag. (a metaphor in itself:-) One take away was the warfare that a Pastor sees and how important it is to pray and call it our when the pastor is confronted with it. I feel compelled now to pray differently and with much more passion for the people in my church and for me personally as I try to do the hard work of leadership.

the fuel of desperation
Sunday, November 9, 2008 at 06:47AM
The fuel of Desperation leads us to the end of ourselves and into the presence of God.
Are you desperate yet?
It moves all the petty chips of our life into his hands
The fuel of desperation is a realization that we can never be good enough, never strong enough, to live a life of independence from God.
Are you desperate yet?
I fuel of desperation helps us realize that we are powerless against our own sin and that our only hope is in God. In God alone.
Are you desperate yet?
The fuel of desperation compels us to open up our closets, or treasures, our secret wounds, our addictions because pride is no longer an option for us.
The fuel of desperation is coming to the cold realization that god is real, that He is holy and that he is the only for you.
The fuel of desperation is smelling the pig slop on your ankles and realizing that there is a father who is just belong the western horizon of your soul.
The fuel of desperation involves a face down submission, spread eagle submission to God’s presence.
Are you Desperate?
