Can Do part 4

Its about appetite. What you're hungry and thirsty for. Because, in a very real way, you are what you eat. If you eat junk food all day, you're not going to feel (or look) very good. If you eat Spiritual junk food all day, or worse yet, if you feed on what the world is screaming at you instead of...

Can Do part 3

I want to spend today talking about self control. Which, by the way, is a fruit of the Spirit. So let me quote my memory verse and then I'll get into it. "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not" (1 Corinthians 10:23)....

We can do all things through Christ. He is our strength. The joy of the Lord is our strength. The joy of the Lord is love. Love is our strength. Love is the "all things" that we can do. And since living and loving are the same thing--to live is to love and to love is to live--living is what we have...

The verse on my heart for this Rant series is Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." And the title of this Rant series reflects the attitude of an overcomer. A "can do" attitude. But, fair warning, at some point in the next few days I plan on touching on the...

Open Up part 5

In order to let what's inside come out, you have to KNOW what's inside. And the truth of the matter is, what you believe is inside comes out. Automatically. Naturally. We live from the inside-out whether we realize it or not. But here's the tricky part: Love was there first. Before there was...

Open Up part 4

The very phrase that I used for the title of this Rant series (and specifically waited until today to explore) means, "Let what's inside come out." That's what you do when you open up to someone, right? And, yes, we did just look at opening up our heart to let Jesus in. But the truth there is that...

Open Up part 3

I want to take a little bit of a different tact today, even though I think all I ever do is say the same thing over and over again in a slightly different way. But I think--I hope--this will help us see the importance of keeping our heart and mind open. Revelation 3:20 (NLT), "Look! I stand at the...

Open Up part 2

10/29/2017 19:48

An open mind and an open heart. Two things (that are really the same thing) that are vitally important to experiencing the abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of God. Because in order to experience Jesus' life--as He lives His own life in us, and through us, and as us--we have to...

Open Up part 1

10/28/2017 19:51

I think there are two subjects that I want to touch on in this Rant series. And they are really the same thing. The mind of Christ, and the heart of God. And in this Rant series I want to focus on--as the title suggests--opening up. Guarding your heart, by keeping it open, and having an open mind....

Max Effort part 5

10/27/2017 19:43

Putting in effort doesn't always mean doing the biggest thing. And for a guy who has the motto of "Go big or go home" that's a lesson that I continually have to focus on. Because I'm a fixer. If I see a problem, I want to take care it. I don't want it to be a problem anymore. But that's not always...
