I want to take a little bit of a different view on things today. I want to focus on Hebrews 11:1. In the King James version of the Bible it reads, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." And that phrase, "Now faith" is where I'm at right now. Because we...

The future is always trying to pull us forward, while the past is constantly trying to hold us back. The trick is to live RIGHT NOW, with an eye to future, and by LEARING from your past but not letting it define you. I said that's the trick, because it can be kind of tricky. Its a balance. You...

Worrying about the future can rob you of living in the present. You need a balance. In my opinion its a little bit foolish to live as if today was your last day. (And I really do understand the sentiment about not putting things off until tomorrow, because there might not BE a tomorrow. But at the...

I know I've preached and Ranted on this before, but I'm convinced that God has a master plan. A masterful master plan in which all things (that are already IN Divine Order, because of the cross) are revealed to BE in Divine Order. In which the Son(s) of God manifest in the earth and begin to rule...

The reason why it is so important to repent from dead works--to have our CONSCIENCE purged of dead works--is that this life is not supposed to be a struggle. And, as always, I'm not saying that once you get born again, or accept Jesus as your Savior, or whatever other way of saying it there is,...

What you DO flows from what you BELIEVE. That's why repentance--or changing your mind in light of something that happened--is so important. The cross brought us out of the Old Covenant of works and labor, and into the New Covenant of resting in the finished work of Jesus. So what really needs to...

You can't do it all on your own. And that's ok. Because you are not expected to. Or required to. In fact, when you begin to understand the finished work of the cross you will see that everything that needed to happen... already happened 2,000 years ago. Look at Revelation 12:11, "And they overcame...

Dead Works part 2

Dead works. Trying to perfect yourself through the flesh of human effort. Trying to do what needed to be done (before the cross) without receiving the gift that was given THROUGH the cross. Trying to do it yourself. We looked Galatians 3:3 yesterday, "Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit,...

Its funny to me the way we twist things around--usually after saying, "The Bible clearly says!" For example, we have almost made repentance a bad word. At the very least a misunderstood word. Here's the way the "church world" seems most excited about using that word, "Repent of your sins or you're...

The Word of God is love. Right? Jesus: God in the flesh, love in a body. So its no surprise that Jesus said, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" (John 6:63). Because to live is to love and to love is to...
