Life On Autopilot

Did you know, when you think you know you know something, you will act on it automatically without knowing it? This is In Search of God. I'm Your host Deloris Johnson. Belief is an excitingly motivating part of our lives. Belief is not just religious; it is innate. We believe in the day, which makes us get up in the morning, not really knowing what the day will hold. We believe that our cars, buses, bikes, or whatever mode of transportation we have will get us from point A to point B. I don't know anything about cars; well, except that mine will get me where I'm trying to go, faster than walking. But I confidently set out on my various adventures in my trusty Honda Accord. According to the definition, belief is a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing. Let's focus on the habit of mind for a moment. Every notion we have is checked by what we believe in or what we believe is possible. For example, ...

Mustard Seed Faith

Hi and welcome to In Search of God, I'm your host Deloris Johnson. The title of today's cast is "Faith As a Grain of Mustard Seed Part 1." Here we'll cover the following topics: What is Faith? What is Belief? This isn't the topic I intend to do for this segment, I originally wrote something much different. But recent events lead me to think it's time to talk about Faith; Faith like the grain of a mustard seed. Also, I've had to break it into two parts. During the first part, we'll define faith and belief. During the second, we'll look at these two words in practice. Jesus said, a mustard seed is the least amongst the grains, but it will become one of the most magnificent trees, and other animals will lodge in it. He goes on to say if you have faith like the grain of a mustard seed, you can say to a mountain: "move," and it will obey you. Here's a little secret, today when we read this passage we t...

God Won't Compete With Your Xbox.

Hi and welcome to In Search of God. I'm your host, Deloris Johnson. Today's message is titled God Won't Compete With Your Xbox. Here we'll cover the following topics: How do we Get God In Down Time Choices Ways to set aside time I want to start with some truths. We are a busy lot. We have busied ourselves with a myriad of time-consuming tasks. Because we are so busy... but we understand we need to carve out some time for ourselves, so we turn to entertainment, and there's a lot of it out there: movies, sports, concerts, food, and gaming. You could probably name others. God won't compete with your distractions. Whether they are responsibilities or entertainment. God is contemplated in still, quiet, meditative, reflexive moments in our lives. There are many examples of this in the Bible. In fact, the book of Psalm could be considered David's meditative thoughts about his life and relationship with God. When was the last time you had a stil...

Welcome, Child of God

I started this blog because God told me to. Let me be clear, there wasn't some deep regal voice that said to me: Deeeee do a cast! But there has been a strong urge, double witnessed by, chance meetings and conversations that led me to the moment. I meet many people, just like you, who have questions about God, who are TRULY seeking God, or who are just not sure if they should or could believe in a God. I'm going to tell you something profound. You're listening because you found this cast amongst the millions of others or found it on some Social Media site, or maybe I've given you the link directly. Believe it or not, God led you into this moment. In my experience, God lays out paths before us to ensure that, if we take them, we'll begin to see and understand Him. So, whether this is the only "In Search of God" casts you'll ever listen to, or whether you stop listening right now, I don't know; it doesn't matter. What I know is that He...
