Surrender part 2

"All to Jesus... I surrender..." Good sentiment. Good song. I don't think we REALLY get it though. I still think we treat God as a "break glass in case of emergency" kind of last hope when we get ourselves in too deep. That's the problem though. We're not surrendering ALL at all. We're doing it...

The Kingdom of God has an upside down, backwards economy. Especially from a "natural" point of view. The way things work don't make sense. For example, "And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all"...

I think the biggest key to "mind control" is accepting that we really don't have any control. In fact, the harder we try to control our thoughts, the more out of control they get. The more we try NOT to think about something, the more we end up thinking about it. That's why I don't believe bringing...

Here's my question: why does it seem like it's so hard for us to embrace the truth that we know? "Jesus loves me THIS I KNOW, for the Bible tells me so." Well... actually I think that's part of the problem. I think we spend so much time trying to know ABOUT God that we miss out on KNOWING God. Head...

The love of Christ controls us. Really it does. It controls us in either one of two ways: Either we don't know and believe the love of Christ, and we do everything we do in order to try and get what we think we don't have... or we DO know and believe the love of Christ and we do everything we do...

Let's talk about control, and let's talk about obedience. Because it seems to me that that's what we think religion is all about. And maybe that IS what RELIGION is all about... but I don't think that's what GOD is all about. Not the way we think of control and obedience, anyway. Dictionary.com...

Relax. Don't put on your aluminum foil helmet. I'm not trying to use subliminal messages to control your mind. I'm simply saying, "You don't have to believe everything you think." I'm simply working on the theme found in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after...

I like the Law of First Mention. You know, where the first time a word is used in the Bible sets the tone for how it is used thereafter. So let's look at the first time the King James Bible uses the word, "alive." Genesis 6:19, "And of every thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring...

The difference between life and death is love. We know that. We know that we have passed OUT of death and INTO life because we have love one for another. But there's also a big difference between "living" and being "alive." Look at Genesis 2:7, "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the...

Live for a little while... pay taxes... try to do more "good" than "evil" so your afterlife will be pleasant and not torment. Guys... I just don't buy it. There has to be more to it than that. And we KNOW that there is! Jesus came that we might have life, and have it ABUNDANTLY. He didn't come to...
