Whatsoever part 2

03/24/2018 20:17

Whatsoever you do... do it in love. Do it BECAUSE of love. That's what this Rant series is trying to say. But I want to get into the passage in Colossians chapter 3 that I quoted yesterday. So today let's do Colossians 3:14, "And above all these put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness."...

I mentioned the other day that I did a Guerrilla Gospel video with this title, and I'm kind of stuck on it. And you know by now what I do when I'm stuck on something--I preach it until I'm empty on it. So let me quote the passage of Scripture first, then we'll get into it. "And above all these...

I want to change focus a little bit tonight. Which, granted, is a little bit strange to do at the end of a Rant series. But this is what's on my heart today: Sometimes you need to just let it be. Or, as the movie Frozen taught us, let it go. Because sometimes you just make things worse by trying to...

I did a Guerrilla Gospel video last night called "Whatsoever." And the point was, whatsoever you do... do it in love. Do it because its in your heart to do it. And that's really where the rubber meets the road on this idea of letting it be. Because its (somewhat) possible to let things be even...

People are going to do what people are going to do. They just are. Always have, always will. So even if you were to look at this idea of Revelation 22:11, "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous...

Love does not demand its (HIS) own way. Which is another way of saying love is unconditional. Which is another way of saying we ought to let people be who they are... and love them anyway. Let me make this as simple as I can: Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. And we are to love one...

Yes, one of my favorite Beatles songs. And yes, I understand that there are some things that we should NOT stand for. You know the old saying, "If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything." But when it comes to relationships we really should follow the words of Revelation 22:11, "He...

Empathy part 5

03/17/2018 20:12

Seeing things from another point of view. Walking a mile in someone else's shoes. Not necessarily the easiest thing to do all the time. But kind of important when it comes to the idea of loving people. Because love does not demand its (HIS) own way. Love lets people be who they are and do what...

Empathy part 4

I don't like to start a Rant with a memory verse, or a definition. So I usually point out how I don't like to do it... then do it. Like so: Dictionary.com defines "empathy" as, "the psychological identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another."...

Empathy part 3

03/15/2018 19:50

When you can see something from someone else's point of view, that's when you truly begin to understand them. And I've said this many times you before--you can't love someone (or something) that you don't understand. Because love doesn't demand its (HIS) own way. And unless you understand where...
