What God cares about

Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
A Keynote slide i use in my speeches. Which begs the question here – what is the silver bullet for religion?

 

Ok. We can probably find disagreement (which improves understanding) by process of elimination.

Does God care where we worship? i’m sticking with no. Going to Church doesn’t prove anything to God.

God only cares that we love. Yes. And by love, we embellish and lavish every good word that is associated with love: compassion, forgiveness, hope, passion, faith, gratitude, caring, respect, empathy, evangelization (through good deeds, not speeches), joy, humility, strength, etc, etc.

God only cares that we allow ourselves to be loved. Yes. If we only love, we will dry up. If we only allow ourselves to be loved, we are selfish. To love and be loved – God is Love – give it and receive it. Breathe in, breathe out.

Is God really real?

Arrived three days ago.

 

Is God really real?

Is it up to the elders (the eldest elders) to prove it?

There would seem to be no greater responsibility for a parent than to show the (potentially frightening) way.

My life (56 years) experience pales in comparison to that of an 89 and 92 year old.

Getting close to God should be the easiest thing to do

Last night as we dined outside at Epcot.

 

Getting close to God should be the easiest thing to do because of God’s schedule. Think about it.

God is available 24/7.

Anywhere.

Anytime.

Day after day we put this off, until that small, persistent voice inside our head tells us getting close to God seems like it’s only for church going people.

Come on, seriously?

Is God afraid of new ideas?

Steve Jobs quote
Remember the civil rights struggles that some people died for? Looking back, how could we have been so blind?

 

God is not afraid of new ideas.

There are plenty in front of the world these days.

Thank you Pope Francis for speaking without fear.

Someday, gay marriage will not be an issue.

Someday, maybe, we will no longer need soldiers.

2016 is a great opportunity to waste time

Wasting time with God is my goal this year.
