Human Being part 1

03/22/2020 20:11

We are human beings, not human doings. That's what I want to focus on for the next few days. We think we need to rush around all day every day. We think if we're not doing something we're not being productive. And if we're not being productive... then we're wasting our lives. That's the common...

Peace Out part 5

03/21/2020 19:53

I want to end this Rant series with a simple, but clear and powerful, message. Jude 1:2, "Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied." I kind of think that says it all. It comes in threes, right? Faith, hope, and love. Mercy, peace, and love. (Notice the key there? Love is always included.)...

Peace Out part 4

If you have peace, you can make peace. And that is extremely important. Because in this world we WILL have tribulation. Life happens. Every single day. I've heard it said that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you deal with it. You can either be a thermometer, and take the temperature......

Peace Out part 3

I know, I know, they're all my favorite. But this is legit one of my favorite Bible verses: "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God" (Matthew 5:9). And, interestingly enough, this is the only verse in the KVJ that uses the word "peacemakers." Which, by the way, is...

Peace Out part 2

03/18/2020 19:57

I mentioned yesterday that when the peace of God reigns in your heart you can sleep in the boat even when the storm is raging all around you. And that's kind of what I want to focus on today. Mark 4:37-39, And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now...

Peace Out part 1

03/17/2020 20:19

Sometimes when I hang up the phone instead of saying bye I'll say, "Ok... peace out!" I think it's from a movie I've seen at some point in my life, because I do it in kind of a weird voice too. But the point is--and I think this is timely--we can have peace no matter what. Because the fire inside...

Preaching part 5

03/16/2020 20:07

Preaching is about more than just memorizing Bible verses. And as someone who has a hard time memorizing Bible verses, I can say that's a good thing. But preaching is also about more than just cramming Jesus down people's throats. If you do that, people will choke on Him. And that's not what we...

Preaching part 4

03/15/2020 20:32

I touched on this verse yesterday but I really want to dig into it today. Matthew 4:17, "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." And the part I want to focus on is the "Repent" part. So let's start with what that word means. It is number 3340...

Preaching part 3

03/14/2020 19:57

It's important to practice what you preach. That's how you can preach the gospel at all times. It's not just what you say. It's what you do. It's how you live. Having said that, what you preach is important. Look at Matthew 4:17, "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the...

Preaching part 2

03/13/2020 20:14

Preach the gospel at all times! And if you absolutely have to... use words. That's what this Rant series is about. Because I think too many times religious folk want to "Chapter and Verse" people. They want to hit someone over the head with the Bible. Or force Jesus down their throats. None of that...
