Who We Are Called To Be: PLUGGED IN

The Old Testament is an amazing way to look at God's character and to realize that it DOESN'T CHANGE and that the character of God's chosen are similar as well.


They weren't perfect: Moses struck the rock twice and was therefore not allowed to enter the promised land. David was a man of war and had a thing for married women so his child died. They were sinners, and punished for it...


... But look at their nature. The disobedient Israelites were constantly on the verge of getting wiped out, and Moses intercedes for them so much that he straight up told God "if you wipe them out, then wipe me out to".


When David's son came against him to take his throne and slept with his father, David's wives (publicly) and later died in the civil war that followed, David tore his clothes and said, "I wish it was me".


THAT is the nature of GOD. Don't ever let anyone convince you that God is a hateful and spiteful Being that wants to destroy the world.




HE DOES NOT.




He wants to re-establish a relationship with people. When you are connected to LOVE (GOD IS LOVE) there CANNOT be death. When your phone is connected to the charger, it CANNOT die. But once their is separation, in either case, death begins, and life slowly ebbs away. Once you are dead, if you don't recharge, you are ruined. The phone with no access to a charger is good for nothing but destruction. No matter how much you, or God tries, if you don't choose to recharge, it is trash.


THAT is the reality of Hell.
