Separation part 2

07/01/2015 13:29

Here's the question: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?..." (Romans 8:35). And here's OUR answer: Anything and everything. The smallest little thing. A bad thought. A mistake. Not doing enough. Not being good enough. Missing church. Not reading our Bible. Here's the REAL answer: "...I...

Separation part 1

I really don't like this idea that we seem to have that sin separates us from God. And you all know that my definition of sin is "unbelief." So I guess in THAT sense sin, or unbelief, is the only thing that COULD separate you (IN YOUR OWN MIND) from God. Colossians 1:21 says it like this, "And you,...

Apples and Trees part 5

Apples and trees. Fathers and Son(s). DNA (the Divine Nature of the Almighty) passed down the family line as we partake of that divine nature. Creator and creation... or rather, Creator and creator, as we create our own reality by believing the Word (Jesus, love) of God. There's a unity that many...

I have to give my mom credit for this one. And isn't it funny the way the Spirit works? Something on my heart is on her heart too and it helps us both to understand what the Spirit is speaking. Ok. So we're talking about the apple not falling far from the tree. Talking about how we were made in...

Sometimes, in order to know where you're going, it's important to know where you've been. A big part of this abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life is enjoying the journey. But, as the song says, "How can I be lost, if I've got nowhere to go?" If you feel like you're stuck, like you're...

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Because the same DNA is passed on from Father to Son. Genesis 1:26 says it like this, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,...

This Rant series is NOT about the trees in the garden of Eden. This Rant series is about Fathers and Sons. I love that expression, "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree," because it's so often appropriate. Especially in the case of my son, Logan, who is more or less hanging onto the tree for...

The New Commandment part 5

06/24/2015 11:05

The New Commandment is to love one another as God loves you. Which means you have to first LET God love you. That's the number one difference between Adam--the son of God--and Jesus--the BELOVED Son of God. God loved (loves) them both. But Jesus let Himself BE loved of God, while Adam was too busy...

The New Commandment part 4

06/23/2015 12:07

It's such a common question: What am I supposed to do? What does God expect of me? How do I serve Him? We find this in Mark chapter 12, verses 28-31, "And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first...

The New Commandment part 3

You can't give what you don't have. How could you? And that's why it's so important to understand--and why it's so absolutely amazing--that the New Commadment is simply for us to receive and release the love that God has already given us. John speaks of this idea extensively in his letters. Look at...
