The Point part 2

03/23/2015 13:31

The point of this life--certainly the point of this abundant life--is to be loved and to love. That's it. That's our EPIC (Eternal Purpose In Christ) destiny. That's why we're here. That's why we were created. And the thing of it is, while it may be simple... it's eternally vast. See, this life...

The Point part 1

Sometimes I get a little bit dejected when I see what people are talking about. Especially regarding "religion," or God. I don't want to mention any names, or heap any condemnation on anybody, but when I see people who are getting excited by the idea of God, "really sticking it to those who won't...

There is no part of an abundant life that would expect you to settle for less than God's best for you. And make no mistake: God wants the best for you. That's why He gave the best TO you in the person--in the name, nature, character, Spirit--of Jesus. It's vitally important to understand that on...

We don't have to "fall" in love. Jesus keeps us from falling. We don't have to look for love in all the wrong places. We can go straight to the source. And when we know that we are loved... when we know that the glory of God HAS risen upon us... that's when WE arise and shine! See, it's not about...

"Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen" (Jude 1:24-25). I never hear this concept preached EVER. God...

"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee" (Isaiah 60:1). This is one of my favorite verses in the whole Bible. In a sense, I think it really describes the finished work of the cross and what we are capable BECAUSE of that finished work. Arise, shine; for...

In this Rant series I want to get rid of something that is commonly accepted. I don't know why I seem to do this a lot, but it's probably because for the most part I think about things differently than other people. I have my give my friend, Christie, the credit for this one though. I don't know if...

The Nature of Love part 5

03/16/2015 12:45

The love nature is our human nature. It was buried deep inside, but through the circumcision made without hands it has been revealed to us and in us and through us! It is our true nature. Our true identity. Love isn't just what God does... love is who God is. And because He lives in us love isn't...

The Nature of Love part 4

03/15/2015 13:11

Human nature has, on this side of the cross, been revealed as the love nature of Jesus Christ. The love nature that IS Jesus Christ living in us and as us and through us. The nature of giving rather than receiving. And I understand that we must first receive FROM the Father before we can give what...

The Nature of Love part 3

03/14/2015 13:27

More than anything else, what the Holy Spirit does is He allows us to receive the love of our Father. He is the Spirit of truth and He leads and guides us into all truth--all truth being that the Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hands. All truth being that He is our heavenly...
