Forgiven part 2

06/11/2015 14:03

Look at what Jesus said to the Apostle Paul regarding Paul's mission, "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me" (Acts 26:18)....

Forgiven part 1

I want to spend this Rant series looking at another "insider term" that I think we kind of misuse. Forgiveness. I think it's so important that we understand this, because it's kind of a central theme to this "Christian life." So what I want to do is drop a little bit of Scripture and then spend a...

I want to end this Rant series where I started it, with John 13:35. I'm going to quote that Scripture in a second, but first I want to quote 2 Corinthians 11:3, "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity...

Discipleship part 4

Making disciples by BEING disciples. Teaching others of love by learning of love. Sharing what you have. Not trying to get anything, but simply enjoying what you have. That's what this "Christian life" is all about. That is our EPIC destiny. Our Eternal Purpose In Christ. We were created to be...

Discipleship part 3

"Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very]...

Discipleship part 2

If a disciple is a student of love then that really changes our view of what it means to "make disciples." It seems like we have one of two views on the matter: 1. Saving souls from the eternal, fiery damnation of hell. Or 2. Forcing people to believe exactly the way we do. And I guess these two...

Discipleship part 1

I think it's important sometimes that we take a minute to kind of reflect on what we are actually talking about. Especially when it comes to Christianity. Because we have this whole "insiders" language. And I'm not even talking about the "thous" of the King James version of the Bible. I'm talking...

The Embrace part 5

06/04/2015 13:09

Wrapped up in a loving embrace you can't help but feel safe and sound. Like nothing can get you. Because somebody has your back. You're not alone. Somebody loves you. Somebody cares about you. That's what Jesus did on the cross. He showed us how much He loves us, and cares about us, and accepts us....

The Embrace part 4

06/03/2015 12:16

In order to have any chance at experiencing the abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life that is the gift of God, we must learn to embrace ourselves. Here's the pattern: On the cross Jesus did it to us. Now we can do it to ourselves. And once we do it to ourselves we can do it to each...

The Embrace part 3

06/02/2015 12:22

"How long will you wander, my wayward daughter? For the LORD will cause something new to happen--Israel will embrace her God" (Jeremiah 31:22 NLT). This really kind of sums it up for me. We have it so mixed up that we are running FROM God instead of running TOO God. But--and this is so...
