Live courageously from your heart!
We now live in an ‘on demand’ society and we get caught up in the jet stream of life. Even though we are connected more than ever as a global online community, we are now more dis-connected than ever from a relational perspective.
What has all this technology done to erode personal relationships? People-to-people interactions?
Our story begins with the desire to step into the freedom that God has given us.
Here is the rub…in this freedom we were given the choice to choose the life we wanted to live, but overtime our choices cost us our freedom. On this path to freedom — life happens, control kicks in fueled by fear and our trust quotient with God is effected.
If you’ve stepped into the pages of God’s word you’ve most likely encountered phrases like these. “Fear not” or “Do not fear” or “Have courage”, etc.
Did you know that there are over 100 commands that Jesus offered up in scripture and 20+ of them are related to fear?
Lets start the conversation here…what are you afraid of and why are you afraid of it?
![My Tools [Series]](https://heartstonejourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/tools.jpg)
People often ask me about the tools I use in my personal and professional life. I thought it would be a good idea to write up an article and share what tools I have in my toolbox and a brief description of each of them. This list will change over time as my needs change and as I learn about new tools so stop by from time to time.
There is a war being waged for the souls of men, for the family, for fatherhood, [fill in the blank]…
Before we rise up and engage in the war being waged, it is essential that we band together with a fellowship of people we trust to join with us in the battle. We see this theme played out in the in the epic battle of good against evil in The Lord of the Rings. The leaders of middle earth meet at Rivendell to strategize on how to destroy the ring and how to defeat Sauron. For good to triumph in middle earth, the ring had to be destroyed by throwing it into the fires of Mount Doom where it was forged.
Are you a follower of Jesus Christ? Have you noticed an increase in the hatred towards Christians and God in the world around you?
Since writing my book Heartstone: A Journey Out Of The Midnight Of My Soul, I have taken my story to the social space such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. It didn’t take long for people to reveal their hatred towards God.
I posted this on Easter, take a minute to check out some of the comments.
