Freedom
Freedom is one of the main courses on the God-menu. God likes freedom…he loves it…and He frees us…not because of some alternative agenda…not because He’s got “big plans”…but because…simply….he loves freedom. Real freedom. Not the tame placebo that passes for real life…but the real thing…the “alive” thing…the “out of your comfort zone and experience life” thing. So…today…what keeps you from freedom? What keeps you from experiencing it? Better yet, what are the harnesses you’ve worn? Religious? Shame? Hatred? Exclusivness disguised as love? What would you’re life look like if you were really, really free? God’s a fan…you’re free…you just don’t know it yet!
Welcome to the new AgapeCommunities.org!
You’ve likely noticed the website being down the past few weeks. We thought we would take it in for a tune up…and decided to get a new car! Lots of stuff…videos…quotes…blogs. We’ve got many ideas on the menu in the coming months. If you have any videos, thoughts, links…anything that gives you life and you would like to pass on…send it our way.
You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.
Matthew 5:5 (from The Message) - Jesus
Our lifelong nostalgia, our longing to be reunited with something in the universe from which we now feel cut off, to be on the inside of some door which we have always seen from the outside, is no mere neurotic fancy, but the truest index of our real situation.

Valued
All people want to know and be known, to belong and to be considered worthy of welcome, to speak and to be considered worthy of being spoken to. A sense of worth slips away from the world’s refugees placed in desolate camps far from their homes. It fails to develop when pornographers and human traffickers prey upon young children. Gifted young people lose confidence in their value when race and class bar them from opportunity. Lack of worth can be suffered in every family or community whose ideas or behaviors differ from cultural norms and are judged unacceptable…
Listen carefully and respond wholeheartedly to the human longings you encounter daily.
