Casting Cares part 2

You know the old saying, "Don't sweat the small stuff." Well... to God it's ALL small stuff. And I'm not saying that it doesn't matter to God. As a father myself I can tell you, if it matters to your kid it matters to you. I'm saying God-- LOVE-- is so big that there's nothing He can't handle. I'm...

Sometimes I think about growing my hair back out, just so I can say, "Long hair, don't care." I know I've mentioned that I have two lists in my life: A list of things that are important that includes God and people, and a list of things that aren't important that includes just about everything...

The Kingdom economy may be upside down and backwards. The first may be last, and the last first. You may have to lose your life to save it. It may not make sense to the carnal mind--and it's certainly not supposed to. But one thing that IS clear about the Kingdom economy is the currency used. The...

In the Kingdom, you start at the end. Which is actually very encouraging when you understand Jesus' words in Revelation 21:6, "...It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely." Starting at the end is...

This is one of my favorite pictures in the Bible: the former and latter rain. Or, in light of our upside down, backwards economy of the Kingdom, the LATTER and the FORMER rain. Let's look at it right side up first. "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath...

Here's why I think it's important to understand the upside down backwards economy of the Kingdom: "And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power" (Colossians 2:10). Our journey is not to BECOME complete, or perfect. We already ARE complete, and perfect. Our journey is...

Doesn't it always seem like Spiritual things are backwards and upside down? It certainly does for me. What would make sense "in the natural" is never the way of the Kingdom. For example, Jesus said, "So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen" (Matthew...

Walk by Faith part 5

To walk by faith is to take it one step at a time. To TRUST, and His plan for our lives, even when we don't understand it. Even when we can't see it. Because, remember, we walk by faith and NOT by sight. Things don't always LOOK good, but all things work together FOR good. The biggest key is just...

I think a big part of walking by faith is... well... walking. If God is always moving, always leading us and guiding us--as a pillar of fire at night and a pillar of smoke during the day--then it seems to me that He doesn't want us to stay still. In fact, that's why God directed Moses to build Him...

Knowing that there's a plan--a grand scheme--is what allows us to walk by faith. Because it doesn't always seem like there IS a plan. Epecially when setbacks occur. But a pastor friend of mine always says, "A setback is really a set up for a comeback!" And sometimes a "setback" isn't a setback at...
