Kill 'Em part 4

07/28/2017 12:27

The battle is already won. Jesus did that when He went to the cross, died (taking the last enemy, death's best shot), and then rose again. So we don't need to fight anymore. Even the good fight of faith is not AGAINST anybody or anything. It is simply (notice I said "simply" not "easily") laying...

The way to win to the war... is to stop fighting. An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind. We don't overcome evil with more evil. You can't fight fire with fire. Unless and until you understand what the REAL fire is. The fire that is God. The fire that is love. When we stop fighting each other and...

Only by showing people love will we be able to show them God. I think a lot of times we lose people when we get religious with them. We try to shove "Jesus" down people's throats and people choke on Him. They end up running FROM God instead of running TO Him. We turn people off, and they end up...

The other day I sent out a tweet that said, "Kill them with kindness. Kill "Em All." And, full disclosure, Kill 'Em All is the name of an album from my favorite band of all-time. But my point was... you can't fight fire with fire. At least not in the traditional sense that we generally think of....

You can believe whatever you want. I think I've gone on record saying that many times. But my question is: If there's a more excellent way (and there IS a more excellent way) why wouldn't you choose that? I generally quote Deuteronomy 30:19 when I talk about this choice, so I'll go ahead and do so...

Happy Thoughts part 4

07/23/2017 17:48

God has happy thoughts toward us. Thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give us the expected end that took place on the cross when He gave us His only begotten Son. When He gave us Himself. When He gave us His Spirit. When He gave us His mind. And because He has given us His mind, we not only know...

Happy Thoughts part 3

When things don't go your ways... that's when its most important to see the bigger picture. The grand scheme. God's master plan. To know His thoughts for you--thoughts of peace, and not of evil... an expected end that ended at the cross. The end of the old and the beginning of the new. New life so...

Happy Thoughts part 2

You don't have to believe everything you think. Seriously. I'm not sure exactly where thoughts come from... past experience has a lot to do with it, I think... but just because you think something is true doesn't necessarily make it so. And I can say this from my own past experience. I'm a pretty...

Happy Thoughts part 1

Your thought life is vitally important. Because the way you think about things literally affects how you deal with things. If you see something as "bad," for example, you're way more likely to try to fight against that thing. But if you see the same thing as "good," then you'll probably be more...

Immortality part 5

07/19/2017 14:33

If we're talking about life--which is, believe it or not, most of what Jesus talked about--then we're talking about love. So if we're talking about living forever, then we're talking about loving forever. Because love never fails. It LASTS forever. Immortality isn't necessarily about our human...
