Who is at the Helm of Your Life?
In early September 2017 Hurricane Harvey devastated the Houston-Beaumont and surrounding south Texas area. In the following days, nearby Mexico experienced an 8.4 magnitude earth quake and had a smaller hurricane make landfall. Simultaneously, 27 fires were burning out of control in the Western USA and Hurricane Irma took aim at the coast of Florida. … Continue reading "Who is at the Helm of Your Life?"
Experiencing Grace
In Matthew 20:1-16, Jesus shares the parable of the Laborers with His disciples (the original twelve and subsequently with us). This parable is probably one of the clearer illustrations in the Bible of why we as God’s creation often don’t ‘experience’ grace. The workers portrayed here were all men who needed money to feed their families. … Continue reading "Experiencing Grace"
A Spiritual Battle?
What can you ‘see’ in regards to the spiritual battle? How does this relate to potential ‘revival’ or the opposite, ongoing ‘demoralization’. The world around us is ‘scaled’. For some, they see only the small area within which they live and the small circle of those they deal with or that influence them. Others have … Continue reading "A Spiritual Battle?"
Fear vs Loved
I John. 4:18 tell us “There is no fear in love, instead perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. (or fear has it’s own punishment or torment) So the one who fears has not reached perfection in love.” Of all the human emotions fear is the bases for worry, anxiety, none chemical … Continue reading "Fear vs Loved"
I AM JONAH – Part 2
God said to Jonah, “Are you really so very angry about the little plant?” And he said, “I am as angry as I could possibly be!” The Lord said, “You were upset about this little plant, something for which you have not worked nor did you do anything to make it grow. It grew up … Continue reading "I AM JONAH – Part 2"
I AM JONAH, Part 1
For many, Jonah is a familiar Bible story. The book of Jonah is indeed a great work of literature, a condensed narrative, a fantastic story, and also an uncomfortable mirror into our own lives. God asks Jonah to go preach to Nineveh, but he runs in the opposite direction. God sends a storm, and then … Continue reading "I AM JONAH, Part 1"
Run as if to Win!
Many Christian men run. But how many adult Christian men run to win? Do I? Do you? To run to win, we must first run in the right way. We all know of men that work the career ladder hard, right? Is that Christian (like Christ)? Often not, but maybe. If God assigned us there, revealed this as our … Continue reading "Run as if to Win!"
Life’s Challenges: Your Choice
“Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, … Continue reading "Life’s Challenges: Your Choice"
Grace Liberates Us
Our own greatest relationship problem is ourselves. We’ve all been sinned against and suffered abuse of all different kinds. But our deepest and greatest difficulty exist inside of us. Grace alone changes everything Grace liberates us from all the brokenness and bitterness inside us so we can actually have a relationship. Grace does three things. … Continue reading "Grace Liberates Us"
Intentional
When God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit set the creation process in motion it wasn’t random, it was intentional. Man’s sin in Genesis 3 didn’t catch Them by surprise. Their plan for the Messiah was already in place. They knew sin was coming and for reasons that I don’t totally understand didn’t choose to … Continue reading "Intentional"
