The Tree part 4

02/23/2021 17:48

Everybody wants options. Freedom to choose. I kind of like how simple God makes it for us so much of the time. Look at Isaiah 40:4 (NLT), "Fill in the valleys, and level the moiuntains and hills. Straighten the curves, and smooth out the rough places." That's called the cross. That's called God...

The Tree part 3

You are what you eat. I say it all the time. Your diet defines you. What you allow inside is what will come out. Because no matter what it is... it's too big and too strong to stay inside. We all live from the inside out. Whether we realize it or not. So the key is to know what's inside. To be...

The Tree part 2

In the same way that there are only two men who have ever lived (Adam and Jesus), in the beginning there were two trees. But, since man couldn't keep his hands off the tree of death, and because it couldn't produce any fruit, only death, Jesus went ahead and cursed the fig tree so that it would...

Logan and I were talking about this the other morning before school, so I thought I'd Rant about it and probably do a podcast episode about it too. Because it's interesting, and because I think it's powerful. That's one thing I always try to do with my ministry--Word Without Walls is about making...

Taste and See part 5

02/19/2021 20:01

The biggest thing about tasting and seeing that the Lord is good, is that once you know what you've got--and you know how good it really is--you can share it. You can be the branches that bear the fruit to those who need it. Which, by the way, is everybody. Everybody needs what you have. And when...

In reality, it is only by tasting and seeing that we can KNOW that God is good. It's easy to say that, easy to try to tell someone that, but at the end of the day we need something more. We need something real. And God knows that. That is why He has gone to extraordinary efforts to SHOW us who He...

Taste and See part 3

02/17/2021 17:38

The goodess of God leads men to repentance. Because repentance means thinking again about something in light of something else. The religious world has made "repentance" into the idea of "say you're sorry for sinning and get your soul saved." And, listen, moving past the things that you did in your...

Taste and See part 2

02/16/2021 17:57

You are what you eat. What you ingest, or what you put inside you, is what, in a very real way, defines you. Garbage in... garbage out, right? Or, in the same way, God in... God out! And the best part about that is: God has already filled you with Himself. We're not starting at empty. We're...

Taste and See part 1

02/15/2021 17:28

The more I kind of listen to other people's "religious ideas" the more I think we've really lost the whole point of the whole thing. Because it seems like "theology" has become "Don't make God any more mad than He already is or you're in big trouble." We misrepresent the gospel because we think...

The Three L's part 10

02/14/2021 16:48

LIfe, light, love. Three L's that desribe God. Three things that look different, but are really the same thing. Living in the light is living a life of love. God has shined His light on us--INTO us. He has given His life for us--and to us. He has filled us with His love, so that we can love Him...
