Life of Service part 1

10/28/2020 16:52

I've long (and often) said that a life of service is a life worth living. That we find our purpose in loving others. Giving everything we are and everything we have. Laying our life down for our friends, and understanding that all we have are friends... and people who don't know they are our...

Throne of Grace part 5

Come boldly to the throne of grace. To find grace to help in time of need. That's what we're talking about. That's what is important. And here's the best part, "But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ" (Ephesians 4:7). That's so amazing to me. People...

We kind of touched on this in a previous part of this Rant series, but I really want to drilll down on the "coming boldly" part of coming boldly to the throne of grace to find grace in time of need. Because I think it's really important. And that's why I write these things every day--to help...

Throne of Grace part 3

Let's be real: What else but grace could the throne of the God who is love be built out of? Grace is so amazing. So important. Look at 2 Peter 3:17-18, "Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own...

Here's the thing--the throne IS a judgment seat. But you have to understand what that really means. Four times in the book of John Jesus spoke of the judgment of the world. "And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be...

Every once in a while you need to go cow tipping, right? Knock over those sacred cows, or those twisted ideas that somehow take root and take hold. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty...

The Anchor part 5

10/22/2020 20:01

God's promise--made from Him to Him, with us included in it--is the anchor to our soul. The hope isn't that something will happen. It is the assurance that something has happened. We don't need anything because we have already been given everything. For God so loved the world He gave His only...

The Anchor part 4

10/21/2020 20:10

So let's talk about what our key verse for this Rant series actually identifies as the anchor for our soul: "Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil" (Hebrews 6:19). The hope we have in Jesus. But let's get even a little bit...

The Anchor part 3

10/20/2020 20:03

This is where it can get a little bit tricky. Because while an anchor keeps you from going off course, it can also keep you from certain things that aren't good for you. Keep you in your lane. Keep you in place. Look at Acts 16:6, "Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of...

The Anchor part 2

Sometimes it feels like you're a ship tossed on the ocean. The winds are blowing, the rain is coming down, and you don't know what to do. But guys... that's just life. It's not always smooth sailing. You can't control everything in your life. But what you can control... is yourself. What you can...
