The Christmas story you have been told may not be the entire story.  Yes, it's still about Jesus coming to save us.  The birth of Jesus was more than the surface is showing.  It was an invasion of the Light in a dark and fallen world.  There is only one reason for an invasion.  FREEDOM.  Christ came to set captives Free!

Surrendered Strength Radio

A life of comfort is not what God intends for you.  If you are living in comfort, you may have lost your life already.  God calls you to remain steadfast in Him.  Trusting in Him and leaning not on your own understanding.  When it feels like you are losing everything. Hold on to faith.  It's the only thing worth holding on to.

Surrendered Strength Radio

Most men are hiding.  Hiding behind a mask of their past mistakes.  I have been doing the same.  Though, I have been open about a lot of my past mistakes.  There is one I have never shared publicly.  It's time to remove the mask, reveal the truth and be fully known.  This requires me to stop hiding behind the "decent guy" persona.  A life of Freedom requires us all to remove the mask and stop hiding.  Are you willing to live in Freedom or will you continue to hide in slavery?

Surrendered Strength Radio

For those who have been a Christian for some time it is easy to get sucked into the Pharisee trap.  When you first became a Christian, you were grateful for the redemption of your soul and freedom from your sins.  Over time though you have forgotten your past.  Blocked it out completely, perhaps.  This is what I did.  This is how I fall into the Pharisee trap.  I would see others sinning and think, "How could they?!"  Forgetting that used to be me.  Forgetting the dark place, I used to be in. This isn't the end of my story nor should it be yours. ...

Forget about Forget about "Them!"

Surrendered Strength Radio

They did this... They did that... They are doing this... WHO CARES??? What are you doing? As men we can easily get caught up in the challenges and struggles of this world. Especially when it comes to relationships.  You can start to blame, accuse and fall into the victim trap easily if you are not careful.  To avoid these you must shift your focus.  Ultimately, its not about them and they are out of your control.  What are you doing to improve as a man, husband, father, business owner, employee, etc.  When you shift the focus back to you and your relationship with God...

When you want to stone them!  show art When you want to stone them!

Surrendered Strength Radio

You have experienced hurt and pain.  Someone wounded you in a way that you didn't even know was possible.  And you wanted to repay their evil for evil.  You wanted them to feel the pain and hurt you felt.  You wanted to stone them!  But vengeance isn't ours to give.  God called you to love them who hurt you. There is a freedom in this for you!  The reality is you have already been throwing stones at them and others.  This happens when you react from your emotions rather than responding in the Spirit.  You unintentionally are throwing stone every day...

For those who have been a Christian for some time it is easy to get sucked into the Pharisee trap. 

When you first became a Christian, you were grateful for the redemption of your soul and freedom from your sins. 

Over time though you have forgotten your past. 

Blocked it out completely, perhaps. 

This is what I did. 

This is how I fall into the Pharisee trap. 

I would see others sinning and think, "How could they?!" 

Forgetting that used to be me.  Forgetting the dark place, I used to be in.

This isn't the end of my story nor should it be yours. 

We are called to reach the lost, be salt and light. 

Where is light needed? 

In dark places. 

Men, there are other men who need you to reach out to them. To be light to and for them. 

Remember the dark place you lived in and Go Help Others get out!

Not sure how or where?
