The Bible claims that we as believers are all part of the body of Christ—created by God. We as Americans in the west, need to stop and consider—“how am I thinking about other people? Maybe one of the reasons I’m so isolated is because I’m thinking weird.” Faith is more than just a personal expression; it’s also communal.
Ed finishes the three-part series The Secret. In it, he shares some thoughts on the selfish, hedonistic side of this interpretation of the Law of Attraction.
Ed continues his discussion of “The Secret.”
The tremendous success of the book and DVD, “The Secret,” deserves a serious and thoughtful investigation from the perspective of a Christ-follower. Ed begins the first of his three-part series taken from his latest book “There’s More To The Secret.”
" In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,. Theologians are quick to point out that God created this physical dimension on purpose to simply build a home for Himself. His intention from the beginning, as you look at Judeo-Christian thought, is that He intended to move here.""
" We live in a culture that wants to polarize people on one side or another, because we want to figure out who the “haves” and “have nots” are. We want to determine who the good and evil people are very clearly with a line in the sand. If we refuse to be discerning, what ends up happening is this kind of dividing, starts to influence people who are in Christ – believers. And we start to divide the world between “us” and “them.” What if trying to think of the world as the “have” and “have nots,” and the “good” and “evil” people is an oversimplification of things?"
" All sixty-six books of the Bible address an overarching story. If we miss the over-arching story – the metanarrative, we miss the whole point of what God is after. Believe it or not, many people miss what God is saying – what His point is…"
" Do we complicate the simple and simplify the complex? Simple answers to complex issues always lead to someone getting abused, or discounted in the process on some level. The truth is, not everything can be reduced to simplicity. Not everything that we understand in life can be reduced to a slogan, a bumper sticker, or a sound bite… "
I think God wants there to be a little Dudley in all of us. I think He wants us and calls us to do right – to live and to act right.
Living a life in balance doesn’t occur by accident. There is a place for work, rest, and play in our lives.
"When people cry and hurt – God mostly sends people – someone else to get involved. Where is God when people are really hurting? Is He just in prayer? Or when people pray, is He looking for His body to respond? Is God wanting us to lift up our eyes and to not live gated lives, but actually get out beyond where we are? And when we catch wind of someone hurting – that’s really a call to be God to them. "

"Let's start with a controverrsial question. We always call God Father, but could we call Him Mother? It might surprise you, but theologically; the answer is yes. God is not male or female. He is God, and male and female came out of Him. He's the one who created. "
