Pleased part 3

There is such a huge difference between trying to make someone be pleased with you, and doing things because you know someone IS pleased in you. And did you catch the difference of phrase there? Something being pleased WITH you is completely conditional. Someone being pleased IN you has nothing to...

When God looks at Jesus, He sees you. And when He looks at you, He sees Jesus. Because you are IN Christ. And Christ is in you. That concept is so important for us to understand. Because it makes what is true about Jesus... true about you. Which is (at least) part of what Jesus was saying when He...

Sometimes people ask me questions. Usually right after they find out that I'm a pastor. And its usually, "How much can I get away with" type questions. But other than that--and my answer to that is, "If you can get it past the Holy Spirit you're ok. Because true conviction comes from within. Trust...

Love is the tie that binds us together. It (HE) is really the only thing that can truly connect us. Especially when it seems like we are so intent on building walls and separating from each other. Look at Romans 13:8, "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath...

Separation part 4

I think yesterday I was trying and trying and trying to say, "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow--not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's...

In reality, this whole idea that we could ever be separated from God (from LOVE) is pretty absurd. Look at John 1:3 (NLT), "God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him." Speaking of Jesus, right? The Word of God. Love. The King James puts it like this, "All things...

There is no separation between God and man. How could there be when God lives IN man? Which means there is no separation between LOVE and man. The very thing we are so desperate to find is the very thing that we have. The very thing that we ARE. Because make no mistake, we are not just loved. We...

Separation part 1

If you read the title you might be able to guess what this Rant series is about. But you might be completely wrong. Because its about the LACK of separation between God and man. As seen most clearly in the person of Jesus. And applied to us because as He is, so are we in this world. So basically I...

Abundantly part 5

Living out of your abundance is living from a posture of rest. Not chasing things you haven't got, but sharing the thing (love) that you have got. And in sharing it... experiencing it. That's how you truly live. That's how you enjoy the gift you've been given. I've mentioned this quote before but I...

Its all about living life to the fullest. That's why Jesus came--so that we might have life, and that more abundantly. That's why Jesus gave His life for us, and as us--so that we could experience His abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life as He lives it in us, and through us, and as us....
