Meaning of Life part 3

Expectations. They screw us up every time. Because life is messy. It doesn't go as planned. In fact, (I don't necessarily believe this but...) I've heard it said that if you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans. Now the Bible says, "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy...

The meaning of life is to live. And not only live, but live abundantly. Live Jesus' life by letting Him live His life in and through and as you. But sometimes in order to understand what something IS it's important to understand what it's NOT. The meaning of life is NOT to follow a list of does and...

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). I think about life a lot. Always have. For a long time my favorite song--well, maybe not "favorite" but the song I was obsessed...

I really think we get in our own way most of the time. I really think our "worst enemy" is right between our ears. (Which is, of course, why God gave us the mind of Christ.) I think we put too much pressure on things and always want to make things fit into boxes. We have an "us and them" mentality,...

Sometimes the least you can do is the most that you need to do. Let me explain. We seem to have this idea where--espeically as "Christians"--we think we're supposed to change the world. And, make no mistake, we ARE. "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the...

Writing a Rant about the least is really writing a Rant about abundance. But, as always, it's all about your perception. It's all about how you see things. And how you see things is directly effected by how you look at things. The Bible tells us that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. Which...

"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Matthew 25:40). This is one of my favorite truths out of all the parables that Jesus taught. Whatever we do to the least... we do...

I think human beings are very adaptable. We can get used to just about anything. And while this can be a good thing, it can also lead to some problems. Because oftentimes it means we are willing to settle. Rather than pressing forward, sometimes we look around and sigh and say, "I guess this is as...

A More Excellent Way part 5

What you sow is what you reap. What you do is what you get. (And, listen, I believe when the Bible talks about reaping and sowing it's talking about Jesus who sowed Himself on the cross and reaped a glorious harvest, but there's also an individual aspect of it.) Here's what I'm trying to say: If...

Actions are important. I don't want anybody to think that I don't agree with that statement. When I say, "It's not what you DO, it's what you BELIEVE," I'm simply trying to get our focus off of the external and onto the internal. Because what you do FLOWS from what you believe. Behavior...
