148. For Us or Against Us? - 1LoveHTX
The Bible reflects the character of God in many ways. Sometimes thru  descriptive text passages, and sometimes we learn thru stories of people encountering Jesus, angels or miracles. The book of Joshua chapter 5:13-14 says something interesting. 13) Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”14) “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord have for his servant?” Did you catch it? The subtle point that the Lord told Joshua he was not on his side or anyone else’s!We have been losing sight of that characteristic of God for centuries. God does not belong to anyone .In today’s culture, a great deal of time is spent declaring what side we’re on, talking about who we are, or what we stand for. It’s exhausting! There seems to be endless opinions without absolute truth. This story in Joshua can help align our mind, heart, eyes and spirit to what truly matters …… God plan and His Will. Are you interested?Come join us as Duffy and Daniel wade thru our very turbulent waters, but hope to help bring clarity to one and all. We hope to challenge you if you’re a believer and most importantly talk about the deep love of God for us all!!That means YOU!Thanks for hanging out.

140. Love the Witch and Yourself - 1LoveHTX
Throughout history, even people who didn’t believe Jesus was the son of God would agree that he was an amazing teacher, and lover of people. As true followers of Christ we constantly try to teach ourselves to be like him in this way… Lovers of people, all people. Sadly, this is also the area we fail miserably.  Today we talk about how to overcome the obstacles we naturally face when we’re trying to grow in our ability to love other people. Like that really old song your grandma likes…  “ what the world needs now is love”By Hal DavisOr “All you need is love” by John Lennon and countless other songs hoping to get the message across. People have observed our world is in desperate need of more love. Ultimately our Creator God wants us to love each other too. Check out these words from the book of 1Corinthians 13 :1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecyand can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b]but do not have love, I gain nothing.4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails. God sent Jesus in love for us. So come check out the conversation , we hope you’ll grow with us.Support the showWestcliffe is a ministry without walls for people without Jesus.Website: https://westcliffe.orgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/westcliffetx/Email (we welcome feedback, questions, and prayer requests): team@westcliffe.org
