Spiritual Confusion - when I don't see God's hand in this situation or in this pain. I don't see how this is good in any way or how it can become good in any way. The hardest things I have ever faced is when I couldn't find Christ.  The hardest trials I've had to endure is when it seems as if Christ has hidden Himself from me. I can't find Jesus and I need Him.

There is a vast difference between "Christianity" and "Churchianity."  I am going to show you what was important in the New Testament. This is the foundation. If I don't have this poured right, everything else is shakey.  And we're very capable of living a flesh-driven life and not a spirit-driven life. It's a fine line.

How do you deal with life?  That four letter word called L I F E.   We all have needs - real needs.  And so we set goals to meet that need - maybe it's to get married...have children...find that perfect job...or to have a certain amount in our bank account at a point in time.  And maybe we achieve all of our goals - perfect family, awesome job and a hefty bank account.  We achieved our goals - but we still don't have our needs met.

This world system has a design to wear you out. It is designed to get inside your head and tell you that God doesn't care - that He really isn't for you. It's designed to tell you that He really isn't going to come through and that the bad thing that happened to you is punishment for what you've done. That God has turned His face against you and that you'll never be happy. It's all a lie. But we're locked in this battle - the battle to destroy our faith and make us quit.  If we don't pray, we will faint.  If we pray, we will not faint.

Satan, who is a liar by nature, has been lying to God's children about God since the Garden of Eden. Taking his accusations and distortions and mixing it with the Christian's own condemning heart, the believer finds himself believing things and thinking things that are not true. This is why the pure Gospel of Christ’s finished works needs to be a steady diet for the believer’s meditation.

About Tim Kelley

Tim Kelley, at the age of 18, surrendered his life and heart to Jesus Christ. After receiving his degree in Biblical Studies, he relocated to St. Petersburg, Florida. In July of 1989 he became the senior pastor of Grace Connection Church and launched a local radio broadcast called “Grace Thoughts”, a daily radio program broadcast in the Tampa Bay region http://wtis1110.com/ and is now heard at www.oneplace.com. Pastor Kelley is now in his 33th year in public ministry here in the Tampa Bay area. He is an avid sports fan of the Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, and the Boston Celtics. As you may have guessed, our pastor grew up in New England in the Plymouth Mass. area. Pastor Kelley’s two greatest and heartfelt passions are teaching and preaching a clear gospel of God’s grace and its impact in our daily lives, as well as his love and compassion for people (even if they are not New England Fans).  Pastor Kelley has a Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies and is currently pursuing a second Masters in Counseling, graduating in May 2013.  He is happily married to his beautiful wife of 27 years, Peggy. They have one child at home, Sadie Lynne.  Their beautiful daughter Hannah Grace, in February 2012, went home to be with the Lord, due to a firearm mishap after a church service. Pastor Kelley and Peggy have started the Hannah Grace Foundation in memory of their daughter, which raises funds for the housing, care and education of children and young adults, here locally in the Tampa Bay region, throughout America as well as the third world.
