Here's a verse (or two) that, on the surface, seems to fly in the face of what I'm trying to say. Which is why I want to quote it, and explore it. Philippians 3:13-14, "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching...

I think--I hope--this will help us with the journey. The journey is not about getting. Because we have already been blessed with all Spiritual blessings and we have already been given all things that pertain to life and godliness. Jesus did it all so we could get it all. And now we have it all...

The journey of life is not to change into something. Not to become something. The journey of life is one of discover. One of understanding who you are so that you can BE who you are WITHOUT trying to be someone you're not. Listen, as simply as I can make it: If you're accepted in the beloved--and...

They say even the longest journey begins with a single step. That's what walking by faith (and not by sight) is all about. It's about WALKING. Remember when Jesus was WALKING on water? And then Peter stepped out in faith and walked on the water too? Well, I believe what Peter was really walking on...

Here's one of the coolest things about the never ending journey into the heart of the matter (which is the heart): It's a two-way street. It's not just us trying to "figure God out." It's not just us trying to complete the journey. It's a give and take. It's receive AND release. Jesus said it like...

Eternal life is a never ending journey into the heart of the matter. God's heart beating with love in our chest. A maturation process by which we learn and grow. Learn of Jesus, and grow in grace and love. Jesus said it like this, "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true...

I think I'm stuck on a theme here. The theme of something bigger--more abundant, if I can say it that way. Not afterlife, which is what a lot of the church world seems to be stuck on, but LIFE. Never ending, eternal, everlasting, abundant, Resurrection Life. And here's where my heart's at: It's a...

Grand Scheme part 5

God has a plan for all of humanity. A grand scheme. A mysterious plan. And that mysterious plan is Christ Himself. A plan of reconciliation, and redemption, and forgiveness, that culminated 2,000 years ago on an old rugged cross. Jesus prayed, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."...

Trust the plan. "Work" the plan, by letting the plan work in you. That's what faith is all about. It's all about trusting God to have it--to have YOU--covered. Listen, faith comes from hearing, and hearing from the Word of God. Faith isn't about making something happen that hasn't happened. Faith...

Here's the coolest thing about God's plan: It came to fruition over 2,000 years ago on the cross! It is not in doubt. It is finished! The mysterious plan--the grand scheme--is Christ Himself. Christ IN YOU. That's what happened on the cross. Jesus drew all men into Himself and planted Himself in...
