DailyTheocentrisms
In the midst of it all, God’s love is more . . .

Author As some of us have been taking a hard look at life and the danger of wasting it, paradigm shiftd have ensued. What we must never forget is the deep, deep love of God.
Please take the time to watch this sermon.
It matters.
DailyTheocentrism: The first step in contemplating God’s Sovereignty is to get over yourself
Psalm 103:1-22
Isaiah 40:1-8
and praise God for 1 Peter 1:22-25
DailyTheocentrism: Prayer and Pragmatism – one and the same?
One might say that if our prayers don’t change God’s mind, then why pray?
First answer – because we were told to . . .
DailyTheocentrism: The “Power of Prayer” that changes God’s mind is likened unto Open Theism, aka heresy.
I have heard countless pithy statements like:
– prayer changes things (meaning, “gets things done”)
– there’s power in prayer (just add incantation . . )
– we are empowered by your prayers (man-powered ministry)
– God’s will is activated by prayer (I guess a little leaven . . . )
– I felt your prayers (what’s a little animism between friends?)
I bring these few up among many others to demonstrate how we have it all on it’s head. If prayer does change anything, it changes the one who is praying as they conform the the sovereign will of God. See the Model Prayer for help: Matthew 6:9-13
He is the Creator, Sustainer and Judge. We go to Him to get answers, not give them. And there we find grace and mercy and care.
There is no power in prayer, rather there is power in God.

DailyTheocentrism: Idolatry is doing what we are supposed to be doing- only doing it the wrong way
We are made to worship.
We are made to be dependent upon something or Someone greater than us. When we “worship” in any way, we are doing what we were made to do, only when we pervert it so as to place our gaze on ANYTHING other than God, we turn what is natural and right to unnatural sin.
Everything has it’s place.
Only God is to be worshipped.
Only God can bear the weight if glory.
So, who are you looking at?
