All Things New part 3

01/03/2015 14:57

I've kind of been focusing on the bigger picture so far with this Rant series, but today I want to bring it down to the personal level. And I want to say it like this: You are not stuck where you are. God allows u-turns. It says so on my Bible case. Every day is a new day and there's a fresh start...

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever" (Revelation 11:15). All things are made new in Christ. This is what happened on the cross. Jesus...

"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful" (Revelatin 21:5). I think this is an appropriate Rant series to start on New Years Day. It's a hopeful day. A day full of limitless possibility. The beginning of...

Preparation part 5

Let me say it like this: First God made the Way of Grace. This is Jesus--He literally IS the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus came down to the earth (bringing heaven with Him) and prepared us for a relationship with God by showing us the Father. That was God's part of the deal. Our part is the...

The way we prepare to live this abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life is by finding out what it means that Jesus is living HIS abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life in and through us! See, we're not trying to live Jesus' life. Nobody can live Jesus' life except Jesus. So...

Isaiah 40:3 tells us about, "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God." When it comes to the subject of preparation, we need to understand what we're talking about (girding up our minds, eating the Lamb in...

Preparation, Biblically speaking, is all about the mind. And notice I DIDN'T say it's all about the brain. When we're talking about a peace that passes understanding, then we're not talking about something the brain can comprehend. We're talking about the mind of Christ. The heart of God beating...

I've heard it said, "If you fail to plan then you plan to fail." And never is this more accurate than in the Kingdom. See, we have so many immaculate gifts available to us. But if we don't know what we've got, then we can't do anything with it. If we don't know that the work IS finished, then we'll...

Meat Head part 5

12/26/2014 12:14

If you're a meat head you think you can do it yourself. You think you please God with your behavior, with what you do for Him. But according to Hebrews 11:5, "...without faith it is impossible to please him..." Because faith is knowing and believing that the work is finished. Faith is trusting in...

Meat Head part 4

If the carnal mind isn't subject to the things of God (and CAN'T be subject to them), then why are we spending so much time trying to modify people's behavior? If it comes from the outside-in, from an external list of laws, then it will never produce real, true, lasting change. Because it's not...
