Straight and Narrow part 2

Sometimes in order to understand what IS being said you need to understand what ISN'T being said. So. I'm NOT saying you can do whatever you want and there are no consequences. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, right? Newton's third law of physics? Everything you do is important and...

"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it" (Matthew 7:14). I like this verse, but I think it's kind of tragically misunderstood. I think some people have taken this mean, "You have to walk the straight and narrow path--follow the Law...

"Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD" (Psalm 27:14). Here's what I'm trying to say in this Rant series: We don't have to wait for God to move... because He already moved. This OLD TESTAMENT verse is, to me, really a prophecy of the...

"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth" (Psalm 46:10). I love this verse. But I think in some ways it has become more of a hinderance than a help. I think we've taken "being still" and turned it into, "doing nothing." And that's a...

I like to think that the fire that Jesus ignited in our hearts is unstoppable. And, in the big, universal sense, it is. His government and His peace has no end. But, in the individual sense, this isn't always the case. There is so much more available to us than we seem to realize. So we rob...

"From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17). When Jesus arrived on earth He brought something with Him. He is the King of kings, and you can't be a King without a Kingdom. He brought heaven to earth. He made the true and glorious...

It seems like we're always waiting for something. Always waiting for God to move. We never want to do anything ourselves, but we want to God to do everything for us. And then we end up blaming God when things go wrong. I've heard the question so many times, "How could a good God do this?" Or, "How...

The cry of our heart: "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me" (Psalm 51:10). God's promise to us: "And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh" (Ezekiel...

I love this idea of a new day. A fresh start. It's so hopeful. And here's my thoughts on hope. Let me link two verses together: "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life" (Proverbs 13:12). And, "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the...
