Today's Mental Image:
Wholeness

I remember some key phrases from around our house when the kids were growing up.
"Listen up!"
"Open your eyes. It's right in front of you."
"Understand?"
Jesus had a lot to say about hearing, seeing, and understanding. But it wasn't like your Dad yelling at you or your Mom putting you down.
Jesus' goal was not obedience.
Jesus' goal was wholeness - men, women, becoming what God created them to be - living fully the image of God created in us. Living the purpose for which we, as individuals, were formed in our mother's wombs and we, as churches, were gathered from the dust of the prairies.

Today's blog and the sermon link in the title above are about wholeness.
The lesson, while of huge importance to every Christian,
was learned by the author in the process
of overcoming barriers
to spiritual growth
rooted in
childhood
sexual abuse.
That experience is incorporated
for illustration purposes in the sermon itself.
