Category: Encountering God

What if “taking up your cross” is not about suffering for God but is instead an invitation to walk with God on a daring adventure?

Debi loves quilting and specializes in making “baby quilts”. When friends (and now the children of friends) have babies, Debi will find out as much as she can about the expectant parent’s colors and decorating tastes and she then makes a quilt for their infant. God recently told her to make a quilt for an infertile couple and the message it deliverd to them was powerful.

Thanks for the comments some of you made publicly on my last post – the one about hearing from God about becoming like a little child. In addition to the public comments, I got a private communication that was profoundly honest and impactful. It raises some important questions and issues and I’d like to know what you think about it.

Here is another encounter I had with God. God spoke to me about having the faith of a little child.

Thanks for your comments and stories on my recent blog about hearing God speak. Here is one of my own encounters where God spoke to me through a dream or, more accurately, through a nightmare. In my dream, I was strapping a 4-year old Chinese girl into an electric chair so that she could be executed.

Lily Tomlin makes an interesting observation when she says, “Why is it when we talk to God we are said to be praying, and when God talks to us we’re said to be schizophrenic?” Does God speak to you? Of course, most Christians would say that God speaks to them through the Bible. God reveals things about himself through his written word. But that is not what I’m talking about. I’m asking does God speak to you like he did to Moses and Abraham and others?
