Perception part 1

I used this memory verse in the last Rant series, but I want to spend a few days to dig into it. 1 John 3:16, "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren." "Perceive" being number 1097 in Strong's Greek Concordance...

It's not about you. I mean, listen, I know that we are each the main character in our own story. I get that. But even though I always say, facetiously, "It's your world and we're just living in it," your story is about more than just you. Think about it. If love is giving, and you can't give...

I'm going to say it as simply as I can say it tonight: "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren" (1 John 3:16). And I really like the word "perceive" there. The way we SEE, or FEEL, or EXPERIENCE the love of God...

When you love somebody, it's not about you. It's about them. Seeing a need that THEY have and meeting that need. That's what our heavenly Father did for us when He gave us His only begotten Son. He didn't want us to perish. He wanted us to experience Jesus' abundant, everlasting, eternal,...

Love is... what makes the world go round. To live is to love and to love is to live, right? You can't have one without the other and you can't do one without the other. They aren't just connected, they are the same thing. Let me say it like this, "Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a...

Many many moons ago, when I worked at a grocery store, there were these things known as newspapers. I know they still exist, but I also know that people really don't read--especially if it's not on their phone or tablet. But I digress. The point is, there was always this little comic in the paper...

I want to make this as simple as I can: Love is the only thing that can satisfy our appetite. Love is the only thing that can truly fill us up. If you feel like you have a God-shaped (love-shaped) hole inside you... the only thing that will fit in the hole is God. Is love. Look at Proverbs 7:18,...

Eating is how we fill ourselves, right? We are what we eat, right? So diet is important. What you fill yourself up with is what will come out. Because what you believe is inside WILL come out. Whether it is good, bad, or ugly. Now look at Leviticus 25:17-19, "Ye shall not therefore oppress one...

I'm going to try to give a key to the kingdom tonight. And it comes from Philippians 1:9-11, "And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of...

Filled part 2

I heard somewhere, or read somewhere, that scientifically something isn't filled unless it is overflowing. It has to be filled all the way past the top in order to be considered full. That's powerful to me. Because if we're talking about being filled with the fulness of God, then we have to...
