Whats next?

"We can know the Bible from cover to cover. But we will not find God until we come to the end of ourselves."

I have nothing to sell. I have nothing new. All that I have is in the book. I have one goal: to help people answer that question, "What next?"

How many people have to die spiritually at the hands of religion before we start helping each other through the hard places? If you ask me what it means; recovering Christ. It is to find the Jesus in this Bible.

Ask yourself: Whose God do you serve? Your parents? What about your pastor? Spouse, friends, an ideal, or someone whos just passing by. Does the church pew satisfy the hunger that gnaws at us to know more?

It may be a shocker, but God isn't scared of our questions; religion is, though. It is designed to shut us up. That opposes the nature of God; he wants us to know him for ourselves. And we can't get that unless we ride out the storms that are designed to test our foundation. Sometimes we feel the wind and rain, so we run and hide, forgetting that the storm Jesus slept through was named Peace before he ever went to sleep at the bottom of the boat. Jonah's storm was designed to push him to his purpose.

I don't lay claim to anything other than that. I believe wholeheartedly that God charged me with helping people put the pieces back together. Not by anything that I know; I am not smart enough for that. There was a time that I came to the end of myself, and all I had were questions. I can honestly say that I don't know if I have ever been in a scarier place. But God showed up, and when he did, I had more than belief or even experience. I found grace, mercy, and love...

It sounds cheesy to say it that way. But I have met a lot of broken people who gave up on God because they felt like their questions were too big for God.
