Stand part 2

I'm a pretty peaceful guy. But I DO have a line. And if you cross that line... you get what you get. Which is to say, I'm not out there trying to be against every and any thing. But I AM for something. And that line, that something, is my kid. My family. I'll defend them to the very end. And that...

I say this a lot: If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. And I think this is important, especially with the "religious" mindset that says we have to be against every and any thing. I've never met people more ready, willing, and able to fight than religious folk. And that bums...

Our new name is Jesus. Our TRUE name is Jesus. And that's not just something for people to call us. That is our authority--He is the King of kings. That is our character--He is the One without sin, the One who took away the sin of the world. That is our nature--not the selfish beast nature, but the...

It feels like a totally and completely new you. But really it is the true you emerging from under all the... stuff... the world has thrown at you. Because you are IN the world, but not OF the world, right? That white stone with the name of Jesus written on it is your ticket into the Kingdom. Into...

The interesting thing about the white stone that has our new (true) name written in it... is that the white stone was used as a ticket of admission to public events. So let me try to paint another picture of what we're talking about here. Water baptism. The act of the old man dying in a watery...

Our new name is our true name. Our new nature is our new nature. Not the selfish, sinful beast nature but the love nature. That's who we really are. And what I want to say today is: "New" is really a return to the original. Its the God who is love putting things right through the death, burial, and...

I want to kind of pick up on a thread that I started pulling in the last Rant series. And it comes from Revelation 2:17, "He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white...

Back to where we started. Colossians 3:17, "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." To me this is a vitally important memory verse. To me, this is another way of saying that love is unconditional. Because the emphasis...

Its all about doing whatever you do from a place of love. From a place of giving what you've got, instead of trying to be someone you're not in order to get something you think you haven't got. But lets keep going with our passage in Colossians chapter 3. Verse 16 says, "Let the word of Christ...

Whatsoever part 3

Continuing with our study of Colossians 3:14-17 brings us today to verse 15, "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful." So you know how I always Rant about Christ's love controlling us? Because either we don't know (and believe)...
