Home (kinda) at Last!

So . . . i'm writing this for the second time because for some reason, blogger decides to delete everything for no aparent reason. i won't complain any more, i'll just go on and write. It's probably just Satan anyway. Jerk.

First. i'm FINALLY into my own place again. It's SO nice. i've been living with great friends of mine, but i was more than ready to stop imposing myself on them and get back out, making some attempt to be an adult. Kristy and i are splitting the rent and she doesn't even live here 'til we get married in x number of months from now.

Granted, we have no furniture so it's bare . . . but it's ours.

Secondly, the deep stuff. i've been listening to this cool preaching CD. Talks about how the gates of hell can't stand up to the power of God. Makes sense. i've heard/read that many times before. Yay. God wins. What else is new?

BUT, this guy talks about how the gates of hell suggest a defensive position. Gates don't attack people. SO, if the gates of hell are crumbling, or will crumble, it MUST mean that GOD and HIS people are attacking the gates. GOD is on the offensive.

NOW, how many times have we complained about how 'Satan is attacking me' or something else like that. i'm starting to think that that is just a pile of pooh (see last post's joke). We need to be on the attack with GOD, storming the forts of darkness, attacking the gates of hell. But, oh now, we're all sad cause big bad Satan is whispering in our ear. If we would attack there'd be so much activity that we wouldn't be able to hear Satan's little whisper. For Christ's Sake (don't get mad; if you think about it more deeply than surface, it's not swearing!), we need to be actively pursuing GOD, making an effort to be closer to HIM, and not waiting for HIM to come looking for us. He's the creator of the universe, the Savior, our LORD. I think HE deserves our attention! We (me included) need to stop being sissy cry baby whiners and start seeking God's face!

CHARGE!
