I was “In Fantasy”, now I’m not
Phantasia- “To make visible”
Is our mission statement “Imperfect people embracing imperfect people to compare ourselves against one another to make us feel better about ourselves.”?
Freedoms of Fantasy
“The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by human hands. They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see. They have ears, but cannot hear, nor is there breath in their mouths. Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.”
Psalm 135:15 - 18
“If you’re addicted to your freedoms, you aren’t very free.” -Dave Pedde
“You say, ‘I am allowed to do anything’ — but not everything is good for you. You say, ‘I am allowed to do anything’ — but not everything is beneficial.”
1 Corinthians 10:23
What are you trying “to make visible”?
“As dead flies cause even a bottle of perfume to stink, so a little foolishness spoils great wisdom and honor. A wise person chooses the right road; a fool takes the wrong one. You can identify fools just by the way they walk down the street!”
Ecclesiastes 10:1 - 3
"Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
Matthew 5:48
Can this sustain the weight?
“Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them.”
Jonah 2:8
Freedom in Faith
“Don’t plant sod where God is wanting to plant seeds… It’s more important to grow than to look finished.”- Bob Goff
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1
