Trust Issue part 1

There's an old saying that goes like this, "If you attend church on a regular basis, and haven't been offended by somebody... just wait." Because people are people. Even "church folk." Especially church folk. My point is--and the point of this Rant series is--we've all been burned by somebody at...

Love is unlimited in two ways. And they are both vitally important to understand. First of all, love is unlimited because it can't run out. In fact, the more you give it away... the more you have. When Jesus was hungry and He sent His disciples to get something to eat He had an interesting...

Love is limitless. Exceeding abundantly above all we could ask or think. Love is on a whole different level. It is one of the few things in the world that doesn't diminish as you give it away, but GROWS as you share it! The limits--the biggest of which is fear--come from the natural brain. The...

I think most of us (who believe in God) agree that God is all-powerful. But I think there are two very important parts of that truth that we sometimes miss: 1. If God is all-powerful, and God is love, that means love is all-powerful. And 2. All-powerful doesn't mean most powerful. It means ALL of...

Fear limits us. Fear of change. Fear of failure (or success?). Fear of losing what we've got (even when we don't like what we've got). But the simplde fact is life is always changing. I read somewhere that every seven years you have an entirely net set of skin, tastebuds, pretty much everything....

I read this quote the other day: "Everything you want is on the other side of fear." And it got me thinking... how often do we miss out on something because we're afraid to go for it? If you're always afraid to go out on a limb, you'll never get any fruit. Because that's where the fruit is! And the...

I started this Rant series with the idea of, "How do I be kind when what I want is in direct opposition to what you want?" And that's where I want to end it. We've looked at a lot of different aspects of kindness. What it means, how it's possible. But, again, I want to really hit the idea of...

I think what we want from others is really what we want from ourselves. We want others to be kind, because really our desire is OUR kindess. We want the light to shine, but we have a hard time believing it comes from within. We think the light needs to shine ON us, when really it shines OUT of us!...

When you dig down deep enough, you always seem to find that the things you take for granted--Biblically speaking--are upside down and backwards. This selfish, self-centered carnal mind that we so often rely on is always just... wrong. Let me explain. We think it's all about getting. Because we feel...

Kindness part 2

We're all basically the same. We're all just people. But at the same time we are all completely unique. Totally and utterly different. There's no one in the world just like me, or just like you. And that means even though we are all going through the same thing--the human existence--we all go...
