Honestly, it almost destroyed me. But the friends and circumstances that it brought in its wake were second to none. I'm still healing, still deal in doubt, and am deeply scarred. However, I would do it all (almost) exactly the same. My prayers are with you.Devin The PoetWarriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642276164176796578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600545650924022358.post-85853412099686545482011-06-23T05:37:15.648-05:002011-06-23T05:37:15.648-05:00Thank you so much for this post!

The Holy Spirit brought this same phrase to my mind when (fight fire with fire) contemplating how we fail to walk in the Spirit and thats why we give in to the flesh.

I believe that I'm personally capable of doing deeper damage to myself over any nasty work the Devil could unleash on me."<br /><br />Wow. I completely agree. Pride is one of my biggest struggles. And I can tear myself down in the measure of myself, where I'm at, what I've done, what I should have done... I grew up in church and have never left, and through all my involvement in worship, youth, and just being as young as I am and doing so much, I often get to a place where I'm told that I "have it all together." Sometimes I've believed and accepted it, but with pride. It's the biggest lie ever. <br /><br />I need Jesus just as much as anyone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694231121261047750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600545650924022358.post-40346334852032975832010-08-01T07:43:49.640-05:002010-08-01T07:43:49.640-05:00It's no wonder so many inmates truly find Chri...It's no wonder so many inmates truly find Christ (as do those in hospitals and other "odd" circumstances). I'm throughly convinced that when we're taken out of our normalcies of life, and the restrictions that we implement that hinder our spiritual growth, change has the opportunity to sprout and grow. <br /><br />Redemption must be given a starting point.

They truly knew what it meant to be dead and then brought to life—only to die to self again.<br /><br />Maybe our trouble with redemption is that, like everything else in this culture of ours, it comes "too easy"?

I remember reading about you on absolutepunk, hm magazine and by browsing some of the blogs posted by bands you helped while you were A&R. Every single time I read your posts I feel God's voice speaking to my desperate and faithless heart. It's amazing the way God has used you so far, inspiring artists and people like me to stop for a moment and realize all we need is to follow Christ with all our heart and soul despite our doubts and fears. In this very moment I'm so desperate and I don't know what to do, I have prayed and all of that but still things are bad and it seems they will continue to go downhill as finances in my house have reached rock bottom and we are only days away from losing it all unless a miracle occurs. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ so that you may be provided spiritually and economically to continue with this calling you've been given by the Father in spreading the Gospel to artists and people in general. I've dreamed about being part of a ministry similar to yours where music and faith work together to bring change to our generation. Be blessed and may your heart continue to follow our righteous and savior Jesus Christ.All That Remains is Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339744755382072329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600545650924022358.post-65198212912855822342010-01-13T21:35:07.337-06:002010-01-13T21:35:07.337-06:00I feel like I should've read this when you fir...I feel like I should've read this when you first posted it.

This is a beautiful post, like always.<br /><br />You don't know me, but I was introduced to your blog by a friend of mine when I was going through some very difficult struggles in my life. I have been reading since fall of last year, and I can honestly say that your thoughts and inspired posts have truly made an impact in my life.<br /><br />I really don't know why I am writing this except to say: Thank you, Chad, for following God, and for allowing your readers to glimpse the glories He has performed in and through your life of obedience to Him. I wish I could help support you in a more physical [monetary] way, but being a college student, I'm living on borrowed money as it is. All I can really offer is my gratitude and prayers, and the hope that somehow this will encourage you when you need it most.<br /><br />Blessings always, my friend.<br />-RissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6600545650924022358.post-12892705016076961012009-12-20T20:36:51.347-06:002009-12-20T20:36:51.347-06:00That is intense.
