Connection part 5

It's about unity. Sharing this world that we inhabit. It's NOT about building walls of separation. It's about building bridges of connection. Coming together. Because we are better together. It's not good that man should be alone. It's not good that we isolate ourselves, or each other. Jesus--the...

They say opposites attract. And there IS some truth to that. But there's a lot more truth to similarities attracting each other. One of the first things we look for is, "What do we have in common?" We look that for that point of connection. That common ground. We look for something to build on. The...

If we can find a point of connection we can build a bridge. If we can stop condemning each other we can start helping each other. The deep calls out to the deep. The Jesus in me is the same as the Jesus in you. And while that love may be buried deep inside... it's there. All we have to do is let it...

I love the concept found in 1 Corinthians 9:19-22, "For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that...

I've heard it said, and I've even said it myself, "The ground is level at the cross." Which is to say, "...all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Which is to say we're all in this together. Good and evil are outdated concepts that separate us instead of connecting us....

Jesus said, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last" (Revelation 22:13). And that pretty much tells you all you need to know about eternal life. It has no beginning and no end because it IS the beginning and the end. It's like in Genesis 1:1 where the Bible doesn't...

Eternal Life part 4

A life without beginning or end. A life that isn't determined by what you do, but by who you are. A life filled to overflowing with love. That's what Jesus gave us when He gave us Himself. When He gave His life for us, and gave His life to us. When God poured His Spirit out on all flesh. He took...

Eternal Life part 3

Life is about living. And eternal life is about living in the context of the unconditional love relationship between Father and Son. It's not living "for" God, as if He's our boss. That's not what being placed in the family business means. It's about partaking of the Divine Nature. Not trying to...

Eternal Life part 2

07/16/2016 12:48

As simply as I can put it: Eternal life is an everlasting life-long journey into the heart of the matter. And the heart of the matter is God's heart beating with love in our chests. It is knowing the Father and the One whom He sent. Knowing that God is our heavenly Father, and knowng that we are...

Jesus didn't come to give us a religion. He came to bring us into a relationship. He came to show us the Father, and to show us that we are the Father's beloved Son in whom He is well pleased. Jesus said He came that we might have life, and that more abundantly. And look at how He defined this...
