What about that song doesn’t leave room for your family? I don’t get it.

Also, the Jesus as boyfriend phenomenon is common today but how is it present in this song? I don’t see it. What am I missing?

If we’re expecting to be Hated for following the Lord, it’s a pretty bad sign when you’re being praised for Faith by pagans. Something far too many “Christians” simply do not get.

On the 1 Kings passage, I’ve noticed that when it’s normally talked about, writers portray it as Elijah either lacking Faith or God chiding him. I really wonder where the nonsense came from, but I’ve seen it mentioned several times over the last few years. The Lord blessed Elijah with His direct presence. The Lord hadn’t done that since Mt. Sinai if I’m remembering my chronology properly. Yet we miss so much of that interaction and, even in the darkest of days in Israel, Elijah knew what was important: the Lord’s presence. That we all could learn so much from him, still.
