Endings part 2

06/02/2018 12:14

Something has to end for something new to begin. That, in the ultimate sense, is what happened 2,000 years ago on the cross. Look at Hebrews 10:9, "Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second." The first (Old) covenant had to end so...

You had to know this was coming. But I want to be clear right off the bat... its like the song says, "Every new beginning is some other beginning's end." Because we're talking about eternal life, right? And if its eternal there IS no end. But in order for there to be a New there had to be an end of...

The idea behind this Rant series was to not despise small beginnings. To understand that where you're at isn't where you will be at. You're not stuck. Your story isn't written. But it kind of morphed--as they often do... I don't write because I think I know everything. I write in order to try to...

Now that we (hopefully) understand our beginning a little better--we came from love, and even though it was dark out, God shined His light of love so that we could see clearly--we can stop despising small beginnings. Because everybody starts somewhere. And what I'm hoping to stay in this Rant...

Yesterday we looked at Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning..." How in the beginning of your story, God created... you. And how even though you were dark and void and without form, the Spirit hovered over the face of the deep. God knew who you were even when you didn't. And He said, "Let there be light"...

Two times in the Bible a verse starts with, "In the beginning." Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1. We're going to look at both of them. Today we'll start at the very beginning with Genesis 1:1. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." And the question that I always wondered about was, "In...

My Bible case proudly proclaims, "God allows U-turns!" And I always like to add that He, in fact and in truth, encourages them. And I think this is important to Rant about because it seems to me that its easy... so very easy... to get stuck in a rut. To settle for things, no matter how (I'll just...

What Manner part 5

I think the most important revelation I've had during this Rant series--and remember, I don't write because I think I know stuff. I write to explore and figure out stuff. I think the most important revelation I've had during this Rant seris is that the question of "what manner of love do God have...

What Manner part 4

Its hard to understand love sometimes. And I think the best way to just lay it out there is by quoting something I read the other day, "People DO love you, your brain is just mean." Struck a chord with me. Because the thing of it is... we're with ourselves all the time. We know the worst things...

What Manner part 3

05/24/2018 19:54

In order to understand what manner of love the Father has towards us... we need to SEE Him as Father. And ourselves as Son(s). That's what the Holy Spirit is all about. You know, the Spirit of Truth. That leads us into all truth. The truth that God is love, and He loves you. And the Holy Spirit...
