I’ve been noticing something lately with a lot of the people I interact with and that I see and hear online. There seems to be a certain feeling they are projecting that I’ve had a hard time putting my finger on. It’s there, it’s real, but what is it?
Disciple Up # 158 Wrestling with Change By Louie Marsh, 5-6-2020 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 (ESV) People, other people that is, are the least of our problems most of the time. Paul focuses here on spiritual struggling but there are other kinds. We are surrounded by and living in a veritable ocean of change. Everything changes all the time and this change never stops! Culture changes, beliefs change,

The Power of Perspective
By Louie Marsh, 4-22-2020
How we view, look at, understand and respond to everything depends entirely upon what our perspective of it is. As disciples of Jesus what perspective should we have on life? Well if we want to see things the way Jesus saw things then we need a Biblical Perspective on life.
A Definition of Perspective
A particular perspective is a particular way of thinking about something, especially one that is influenced by your beliefs or experiences.

The Most Terrible Psalm
By Louie Marsh, 3-4-2020
I’m reading from chapter 5 of my first book, Getting Real. This is the chapter on Psalm 22, a psalm that prophetically foretells the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus. It’s powerful and it’s terrible in how it shows us the agony that Jesus went through on the cross.
I’ll be departing from the book’s text to make comments as I go through. Any comments I think are worth noting will be written below.

Hope Against Hope
By Louie Marsh, 2-26-2020
Recent events have caused this phrase to echo through my mind quite often lately.
I hope against hope that a few meager words spoken on a Sunday morning will heal a marriage, mend a troubled mind or motivate someone to respond to the Word of God.
I hope against hope that an hour’s counsel will help someone begin to overcome a life time of running and hiding from their inner monsters.
I hope against hope that this new class or that new program or this new book will finally cause the hearts of the people in my church to catch fire for Christ.
Hope against hope.

Let Freedom Ring!
By Louie Marsh, 2-19-2020
1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1 (ESV)
It’s amazing to see how often a desire for freedom appears in history. You see it over and over again. Some times it’s a misunderstanding of what freedom is, but it’s there. From the recent Arab Spring (which certainly is not about freedom the way we in the West understand it) to the Tea Party to the young people and old hippies currently “occupying” places all over America.
In the words of that old song, “people just gotta be free.” But why? Why is it that people almost everywhere seem to have a soul deep desire to be free?
