Your Words, Your Heart, Your Passion
We don’t want any more fluff, stuff or guff. We want to draw the raw passion out of people, what people truly feel behind the words on the screen. We want to bring the inside out and get to the heart of the matter, provoking people to a place where the truth is revealed. Take the gloves off and put the gauntlet on, suiting up in armor to go head to head with the lie as we hammer out the truth. We want to hear you, your opinions, your thoughts, your words, your heart. Go for it!
How do we know the truth from the lie? What is the life of a true Christian consist of? Go until he says no or wait for his direction? What about fasting, what about the divorce rate, what about The Beginning and what about The End? Is America done for, or is it coming back to the Lord? How does that play out for Christians? We want to know what you think, what you feel and what you believe. Speak up and speak out. You know you want to.
Welcome to the BCOM blog. If our eyes had ears, they would be listening to you, but because our eyes don’t have ears, they’ll just read what you have to say.

Sometimes, I think of my mind as a storm. Sometimes it’s clear and I can focus my mind on doing what I believe is right, but other times my mind is clouded with distractions. Some are more demanding than others; you know, like the difference between a light shower and a tornado. That’s when I start getting off focus from the Lord. When all the sin in the world just builds up inside me to the point where I question His existence. Although, other times I can feel his presence in my heart, leading me every step of the way. He’s doesn’t just show up when I’m in a slump and messed up, but from when I wake up in the morning to when I go to sleep. I believe when I feel God leading me down the right path my mind is clear and my heart is at peace. I want to feel that way all the time, and I want to figure out why that is, even if the answer isn’t that simple to find.

@Morgan Coomes, Questioning His existence may be caused by the buildup of sin in this world, but is it sin itself? I would think the worse sin would be following Him blindly out of fear. I want to be encouraged to question. I want to ask and ask and ask because my faith tells me He can answer all my questions, even those I feel guilty about. Like how is Christianity any different than other religions and how can I say I’m right and you’re wrong when your devotion is just as strong as mine? Why did Christ have to die on the cross? Why does God discipline entire nations if He is a merciful God? When I feel a twinge of doubt I run with it. I seek out a reliable answer to my questions and I end up one step closer to my Lord. My faith one size larger. God is beyond our understanding, but he’s also logical. He understands my need for reason. I don’t want to be caught with blind faith. I hope that I’ll always be moving forward towards a deeper understanding of God’s infinite compassion.
I also understand that the Great Deceiver is ever present. Satan sends doubts through the window of my intellect. Is it foolish then to keep an open mind? My faith feels strong enough to withstand it but it wasn’t always so resilient. I question, but I’m mindful of the source of my questions. I wonder, with which kind of faith will He be well pleased?

@Darci Dobson, I think we question so many things about Him because he wants us to ask him. There are so many things I don’t understand, and it’s hard to think about all the questions I have and how I can’t answer them. I have to think about it, and ask God, but when I ask God, I always get an answer in a different way. Sometimes it’s a sign, or him speaking through someone else, or even just a voice in my head. It’s hard to keep up. How does God talk to you? Do you hear a big voice or is it something different.
I’ve asked a lot of the questions you have, but I just haven’t heard a reply. Why is that? Why can I get some answers but not all? I love how God is mysterious, but sometimes I wish He wasn’t so much.
Well, I can confidently say that I know what makes our religion starkly different from others. I’ve read and studied about it for some time, but I’m not going to get into it in this moment. Perhaps another blog will be written in honor of your question.
We struggle with hearing God’s voice clearly, but friends, I believe it is possible to know exactly what he is saying to you.
Draw near to God and He will…
you know how the rest of that goes. Now some may object that the scripture I paraphrased above was the the unbeliever, but even if that’s true, does his promise to draw near to us end once we come to know Christ? I don’t think so. How do you think we draw near to God?
