Declare the Decree part 1

05/11/2020 20:13

So many times I have had people ask me things like, "What am I supposed to do?" "What's this life for?" "What's my purpose?" And, to be completely honest, those are the same questions I asked for a long, long time. It is, in my opinion, part and parcel to the human condition to have that search for...

It gets tricky when we try to separate things. When we draw lines in the sand. When we put "us" on one side and "them" on the other. Listen: nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. So we ought to stop separating things and just realize, understand, and accept that we are all in this...

What if everything we said and everything we did was based on the love that we have for one another? The love, in truth, that God has for us. Because that's the only way this works. "We love him, because he first loved us" (1 John 4:19). And we love Him BY loving each other. Whatsoever we do unto...

I'm going to do it today. Really. "Fellowship of the Spirit." From Philippians 2:1-2, "If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one...

Fellowship part 2

When I started my ministry (Word Without Walls) I asked a few people what I should call the thing. I've never been very traditional or "religious" so I wanted to take the temperature of the common man, so to speak. My best friend said to me, and I'll never forget it, "I don't know. Something with...

I hope you're not sick of hearing about relationships. If you are, you're probably not reading these Rants anymore. If you're not sick of here... here we go! "If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil...

Vanity part 5

05/05/2020 20:02

The opposite of vanity (emptiness) is fullnes. That makes sense, right? In the beginning we were dark and void and without form. But then God said, "Let there be light" and filled us up with light. Filled us up with love. Filled us up with Himself. And then we fill ourselves to overflowing with...

Vanity part 4

I think--I HOPE--this is an encouraging Rant. Well, really, I hope they all are. That's kind of the point: Edification and encouragement. I think that's kind of the least we can do for each other. Which, by the way, is also the most we can do for each other. I've been stuck on this idea of love...

Vanity part 3

05/03/2020 20:11

Filling that emptiness we feel. That's a big part of what we've turned life into, right? Life, liberty, and the PURSUIT of happiness. See, according to that, happiness isn't guaranteed. But the pursuit of it is. Chasing the carrot. The problem is, so many times, we only ever get the stick. Because...

Vanity part 2

05/02/2020 19:58

Vanity means emptiness. And it is that emptiness that we go through life spending our three T's (Time, Talent, Treasure) trying to fill. Here's the deal though: "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the...
