According to Romans 8:1, "There is therefore now no condmenation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." But while that may be TRUE, it doesn't seem to be somethng that we truly understand. Because it seems like most of the church is on a sin hunt. We...

You guys know sometimes I get stuck on something, right? Well, if the last Rant series didn't convince you that since beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and since God has grace in His eyes, you are beautiful in His sight... then hopefully this Rant series will really bring it home. But I want...

Here's what humanity seems to think: I'm a dirty sinner and there's no way God (or anyone else for that matter) could possibly love me until and unless I clean up my act. It's the plot of all of those movies where the geeky girl takes her glasses off and then she's a knockout, right? We think we're...

William Shakepeare said, "The Eyes are the window to your soul." Something exterior that lets you know what's inside. That right there is the importance of where Noah found grace. He found it in the eyes of the Lord. He found it IN God. IN love. When we judge things (and people, ourselves included)...

One of the biggest, most important things that Jesus came to the earth to do was open our eyes. Shine the light of the world and show us how things really are. Show us the Father. Reveal Himself to us--and then, through the cross, reveal Himself in us, and through us, and as us! Back in the garden...

"But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD" (Genesis 6:8). This is one of my favorite Bible verses. And yes, I know, I say that about almost all of them. But there's such an amazing truth here. Because while it is true that when the Lord looked at Noah, He saw someone worthy of His grace... this...

Plato said, "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder." I think this is important. Because, let's face it, what we see is what we be. Even though we know better--even though Jesus told us not to judge according to appearance, but to judge righteous judgment--we look at something and we make snap...

A long time ago my pastor told me that people go to church for a whole lot of reasons. And I've found this to be true outside of church as well. We do things for a whole lot of reasons--even though we don't seem to understand that the single reason driving EVERYTHING we do is the desire to be...

Love is all we need. And while we can't always get what we want if we try (rest) sometimes, we just might find we get what we need. Because we already have what we need. The key is seeing it. Because seeing is believing. This revelation is summed up in Mark 15:39, "And when the centurion, which...

The Rolling Stones said it like this, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need." Sometimes I think we really confuse those two terms: Wants and needs. And the unfortunate part is when we miss out on what we need because we're focused on...
