Two minute read.
WHEN…..THEN – is a series of talks to challenge our ideas about our relationship with God. During our discussions God wants to do a couple of things for us.
- Deconstruct our false notions of Life as Safe, Secure, Convenient, and Comfortable.
- Reconstruct the Truth, His ideas about why Relationship matters.
We have to know WHO WE ARE! Before we can know Where we are headed in life. Most people do very little self-examination. And many who wander are often lost in some way.
What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world while forfeiting his very self? Luke 9:25
That is a question we could all use to begin the discipline of self-examination. Reconstruction begins with a Choice, and of course, every Choice we make requires an exchange of Time.

But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made…..Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her. Luke 10:41-42
Real Life begins with being PRESENT. Until we are present to life, we’re only Pretending to be Alive. But God enters with an invitation, check it out;
I made you for a relationship, now lets get back to it, relationships begin a partnership with Me.
The WHEN…..THEN principles found in the Bible identify God’s intention for a Relationship with us forever.
God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. Philippians 2:13
Paul is saying that if I am a Christian, then God is front loading a desire in me to be fully committed. Why does God do this? Because most of us in some way miss the point. The main point, the starting point, the jumping in point is being PRESENT to God in the moments of our days. If we do not get this down cold, nothing we try SPIRITUALLY will work for us.
The next piece in this WHEN…..THEN series is about The Light of Life. I hope you can join us.
