Glass Houses: Grieving Sisters Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 18, 2019

When we Judge God by our own definition and limited understanding, we make God small, strip Him of his power and remove his grace and mercy from our lives. We diminish his work on the cross and the presence of the Holy Spirit.

I don’t know about you but I’m realizing just how much I judge everything and everyone. It’s every day, all day for me. I’ve been catching myself judging and then finding myself rationalizing and justifying my actions. Just the other day, I’m driving in my car and I’m thinking what a terrible ...read more

"An Appointment With Intimacy— (... And God Cried!)”

Contributed by Bubot Parago on Sep 1, 2018

Mary sat still. What a poignant moment. When you’re intimate with God everything is the same, rain or shine. Storm or no storm. Trust. Peace. It is still the same. Because God is the same. HE IS FAITHFUL to the core! From eternity to eternity.
