Alive part 1

Jesus didn't come to make bad people good. He came to make dead people alive. This, to me, is such an important distinction. If you see yourself (or others) as good or bad, you're eating from the wrong tree. The tree of knowledge of good and evil is the tree of death. That is literally what...

Fear Not part 5

If you're afraid of God you'll run from Him instead of to Him. That's kind of my point for this Rant series. Look at Genesis 3:8, "And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst...

Fear Not part 4

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. That's where start. But it's not "I'm afraid of God because I messed up and He's going to punish me." God is not in the punishment business. He's in the chastening and correcting business. The purifying business. He's in the train a child up in the...

Fear Not part 3

When you afraid, you are not made perfect in love. Which is to say you don't fully understand love. I think a lot of the fear, and the misunderstanding, comes from being afraid to put ourselves out there. When you reach out your hand and someone slaps it away... that's excellent incentive to never...

Fear Not part 2

Think about this from God's point of view: He loves you so much that He gave His only Son for you. To bring you back into the fold. To get rid of any seperation that exists in YOUR mind that keeps you from experiencing everything He has and everything He is. And how do you treat Him? Like He's a...

Fear Not part 1

There's a pretty big discrepency between the Old Testament of the Bible and the New Testament of the Bible. For example, there are three verses in the Old Testament with the phrase "The fear of the LORD of the beginning of wisdom." Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 1:7, and Proverbs 9:10. Any time the Bible...

Sin part 5

12/01/2020 16:58

I think it's funny (in an ironic, not in a haha, sort of way) that people seem to think there is a big struggle between God and sin. Or God and the devil. Or, really, God and anything. Like the Creator of the universe would (or could) ever struggle against anything. Kind of absurd. And Jesus showed...

Sin part 4

11/30/2020 19:59

I'm just going to throw this out there and then move on. If all of our sins are forgiven... how, then, could someone end up in what many people believe is the eternal punishment for sin known as hell? Just something to think about. Moving on. To 1 John 3:9, "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit...

Sin part 3

11/29/2020 19:54

Let'strack this thing. In the Old Testament there was a Law. The Law of Moses. The Ten Commandments. And a complete system of animal sacrifice for when the Law was broken. Look at Hebrews 10:1-2, "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the thing, can never...

Sin part 2

11/28/2020 19:40

Jesus took away the sin of the world. He fulfilled the law. So why in the world are we so obsessed with those two things? Why are we still putting ourselves under a law that was never given to us (and falling from grace in so doing) and why are we always on a sin hunt? Look at Romans 4:15, "Because...
