Comforted part 1

02/11/2020 20:05

It always kind of blows my mind (and not in a good way) that people have a negative reaction to a positive gospel. Like there could be anything BUT a positive gospel. The word "gospel" means "good news." So let's get real. We have a happy God. And He wants His children to be happy. What father...

Let's end this Rant series where we started it. Philippians 2:2, "Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of on accord, of one mind." One mind. One accord. One love. The SAME love. The love of Christ. Filling ourselves (and each other) to overflowing with what we've...

One Accord part 4

It's about unity. A threefold cord is not easily broken. You and me and Jesus makes three. Wherever two or three are gathered, He is in the midst. Love is in the midst. Because where two are gathered there is the opportunity for relationship. Connection. Unity. We don't have to agree on everything...

Here it is, as simply as I can put it: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee" (Isaiah 26:3). When I line up with God (Jesus, love), and you line up with God (Jesus, love), we will automatically line up with each other. And the only way to...

One Accord part 2

Our God is a happy God. I believe that this is because He is love. And love is not sad. Jesus said that we WILL have tribulations in this world, but that we CAN be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world. All throughout the Old Testament of the Bible the cry of God's heart was that He...

One Accord part 1

02/06/2020 20:16

I like this because I like a good turn of phrase. Let's link Philippians 2:2, "Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind," with Ecclesiastes 4:12, "And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly...

Remitted part 5

02/05/2020 19:55

Remitting and retaining is kind of like binding and loosing. Let me explain: "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 16:19). But...

Remitted part 4

02/04/2020 20:00

Our key verse for this Rant series, John 20:23, "Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained," is the only verse in the King James Version of the Bible that has the words "remit" or "remitted" in it. The only time Jesus mentioned it....

Remitted part 3

02/03/2020 19:55

If you remit someone's sins, they are remitted. That's the good news. Jesus has set us free and made us free. Now we can let people know they are free by treating them like they're free. On the flip side of that coin, if you retain someone's sins... they are retained. If you can't let it go,...

Remitted part 2

02/02/2020 19:55

Forgiveness is a done deal. Jesus took away the sin of the world. Cried out from the cross, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." Put us in a place where we don't have to fear God. We can run TO Him instead of running FROM Him. The problem that we seem to find ourselves in is that...
