Night Light part 4

11/15/2017 19:46

Being nice, being kind, loving people, is how you let your light shine. And when you do that the darkness flees. Because what the world needs is love. And God is love. God is light. Letting the light shine is letting the love shine. The love of God. The "laying your life down for your friends,"...

Here's where it gets kind of cool. We've been talking about the receiving part of the light. The part that benefits us. When there's darkness creeping in, and we let our light shine, the darkness flees. Right? But watch this: "Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine...

Sometimes you can feel the darkness creeping in. But you have to remember that there's a light in your house. You ARE the light of the world. The light is in you, and the light IS you. And when the light shines, the darkness flees. Let me say it like this: "This then is the message which we have...

This Rant series is inspired by my son's night light. It was flickering when we plugged it in, and he quickly reminded me how important it is. You better believe we'll be getting a new one in the next couple of days. You know, just in case. But here's what I want to say as far as the Spiritual...

Conventional Wisdom part 5

I think one of the biggest challenges we have to experiencing the gift of God (that we've already been given) to the fullest is that almost everything about this everlasting, eternal, abundant, Resurrection Life of God (life of love) challenges just about everything we've ever been taught. The...

Love doesn't make sense a lot of the time. It seems foolish. But the truth of the matter is... the heart wants what it (HE) wants. You don't get to choose who you love. And, really, you shouldn't. Because it rains on the just and the unjust alike. God loves everybody. What else could the God who is...

I guess I could have called this Rant series, "Foolish Love." But without any context that title could be taken negatively. As if to say you made a mistake with your love. And I don't think love is ever a mistake. I think sometimes we make mistakes when it comes to relationships--especially...

Conventional Wisdom part 2

Sometimes the things we accept as true... aren't true. Or let me say it another way: Truth is higher than fact. The fact of the matter may be that you've "failed." But the truth of the matter is... you are not a failure. You are not defined by what you do. You are defined by what's inside. Because...

I think one of the hardest things about "understanding" the upside down backwards economy of the Kingdom of God is that we try to make it fit into what we "know" to be "true." When, in truth, it is upside down and backwards. It doesn't make sense to the carnal mind. It can't. It isn't supposed to....

Can Do part 5

11/06/2017 19:56

We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. First and foremost, loving each other. That was something that it was nigh impossible for us to do before we knew (and believed) the love of Christ. You can't love people when you are looking for love in all the wrong places. You can't give...
