The Involuntariness of Love

I want to make mention an aspect (or the very essence rather) of love that boggles my mind and brings about a certain involuntariness. In the journey of what the wise and young call 'love' I've finally caught the glimpse. I've experienced a taste of this outpouring of love. I now seem to understand that it is more than just a roll of emotion felt somewhere between the mind and chest, it is rather inexpressible and unexplainable-it just...is. I'm sure we've all experienced the roll at some point in our life (as we, naturally, are beings of relationality). But what is it? What is this thing of love?

I will never be able to explain how and why I can't help but love someone-it's a rather reassuring fact. I've been the pizza eating bum watching this area of my own life unfold in a screen of existence with a person I call 'Life'. (Greek is such a handy language). Something in me longs to see the object of my love live in perfect happiness and satisfaction and I will do everything I in my power to fulfill this. The desire to take a bullet even before the thought of 'Life' encountering harm is the part that I can't logically understand. It's quickly starting to move into the area of the unknown-the area in which I've finally accepted that God is in. All I know is that this love comes from the God who is love.

My desire is to become so transformed by God's own love that I no longer think about how to love someone or specific ways to love them. I pray He invades my life and the many areas that demand no entrance and fills me with natural love, involuntary love.

He wants me and everyone else in existence to show this kind of love not to a sole specific person, but equally to everyone. If it is indeed involuntary then how could I choose who to love. The very fact of this love coming about is my initial choice to love at all costs-to love with no specifics. It's all a matter of how much I am willing to love God in that very way. It starts with Him.

I long!

Brave New World (P.S.)
By Aldous Huxley

Let's look like the world shall we

Something in me strives to be different than the culturalized Christian community of today. We've allowed ourselves as Christians to be molded by the world; in the way we think and the way we display ourselves as believers. I believe that Christianity is supposed to be distinct from the world. We see the bigger picture. We know the effects and consequences of blatant sin. We realize that true living is beyond nice cars, getting the girl, having the money, being obsessed about sports, and getting caught up with sex. But why are we still caught being barely (if at all) different from the lost world around us? The truth is that we really don't realize the evil of selfishness and sin. At certain times we discuss with friends the importance of holiness (that in fact is the central purpose of being a Christian). We talk about how cursing is wrong and making fun of people is not Christ-like and then we turn around and let our tongues slip repeatedly and we see nothing wrong with it. Where did we go wrong? Too often we haven't fully grasped what it means to be a living sacrifice and to die daily. We fondle with the deadly edges of the essence of sin thinking that we've done nothing wrong. We've longed to have a nice car...perhaps in attempts to get the girl or make ourselves look a little better. We've gotten the girl and then treated her like crap by talking her down and stripping her of her innocence. We've become espn addicts...all updated on the current vanity of who's who in the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, NCAA...the list goes on. Where are our eyes set to? Are we longing to have our team win every game at the expense of other deserving teams? Will we cut down the shortest player on the basketball court by calling him a "midget" and chanting "oompadi du" or yelling "you suck" to the referees? That my brothers and sisters is not Christianity! They are after all just like you and I...Children of God. We have fellow Bible believing school come and compete in our gym and our first thought isn't to lift them up in edification? I think that's the problem. Our first thought is "let's kill these chumps." After all what difference will it make in the game whether you call a player names or not. The outcome is in the players hands not yours.


What a beautiful picture it is when someone truly gets it, when a Christian fully understands that living a Christian life has nothing to do with them. They'll go where God sends them trusting Him for their every breath. This beautiful picture is about dying, yes dying! Forgetting all that you think you are and turning your thoughts outward towards the needs of others and the glorification of Jesus Christ. I want to be different. God wants me to be different. He's calling all of us to be different. It's all a matter of you choosing to be.

Does it scare you? To have your coat of mediocrity that you hide inside and behind stripped away? To have everyone look at you and know that you are different...."ewww you're different", they say. After all the reality of Christianity is not to look and act like everyone else, it is to be ridiculously opposite.

I know that I don't comment enough, and people are getting out of the xanga thing, but I still feel a need to share my thoughts.


I like to think, and I've found it vitally important for me to write my thoughts out. I think often the problem to why I don't write my thoughts out is because I either don't have the time or I don't know how to put it all into words (and often a mix of both). I can never seem to stick to one thing. My brain ADDs and then articulates ideas that are completely irrelevant to each other. I'm not saying that when I start thinking about the color red and why it stands for a warning or beware I randomly start thinking about a two-headed monkey eating pineapples at the three way stop at Walton Way 40 yards from my home in Georgia...nothing like that. More like, Sin, the idea and interpretation of Grace, and Total Depravity. They are all separate thoughts and areas of thought and yet they intertwine in many perspectively different ways. I think of sin and the many adopted definitions that have come about throughout the years. Sin as missing the mark, willfully violating the known law of God (or even the unknown law of God), or any failure to conform to the model law of God, in action, attitude, or nature. I think of Grace as God's outreaching towards us, His unmerited favor and love extended unconditionally. There are several areas of Grace that have become controversial. some go further and some stay close in reference to what Grace is. Grace as it takes place in salvation, in our daily Christian lives, in a non-Christian's life. Most disagree with the way Grace works at the point of Salvation (whatever point it occurs). Common Grace, Prevenient Grace...those are the contenders. Total Depravity is our inability to save ourselves and to do a good work.

I will soon be at the point where I can formulate my thoughts onto paper and share them with random readers.
I'm probably going to do more writing on my blog so if you want to keep updated just go to danielprince.blogspot.com

Till then my friends,
Daniel

God's plan stands; Prison and guard's blessed ignorance

I had to retype this post due to my being rushed to pack and head home for the weekend and to be quite honest I feel that my inconsistency in writing clear thoughts played a big part in it as well. So here is my attempt and I hope it will actually be understood the way I intended it to be understood.

Here goes nothing... 

Yes, I was thinking the other night while doing my homework for Ephesians class about something that I find to be quite interesting. No it's not profound by any means and it could likely be a myth of thought on my part. I don't know...

But as I understand, Paul was on house arrest when he wrote to the church at Ephesus, which means he wasn't exactly in a prison but he lacked many of the daily pleasures and privileges of normal life. He was able to have visitors and also write letters to the outside world. Obviously the government who imprisoned Paul all those times and who were in charge of keeping him away from the outside world didn't exactly realize the role he was already playing in mentoring and nourishing the hearts and minds of Christ's people. I picture the soldiers and guards laughing at Paul's seemingly pointless attempt to feed his people (either assuming they'd forget him or find someone or something else to hear from) what needed to be fed. They thought they had him bound down and out of sight and use of God's hands, but no, God had another plan the whole time. Even the guards and government played a role in the significance of Paul's epistles being written and the way God speaks to us everyday through them.

Imprison us if you will you miscreants of evil but God's plan stands and it will continue to stir, move, and change hearts forever. We cannot and will not be moved or shaken while under the mighty Lordship of Christ the King! (Eph. 6)
