One Mind part 2

11/09/2018 16:16

The mind of Christ is the heart of God. Because the only thing on the mind of Christ--the only thing in the heart of God--is love. God is mindful of men. Of us. His mind is full of us. He's thinking about us all the time. Just like we think about the people we love. That's one of the best ways to...

One Mind part 1

This one might take a little while. Which, as I always say, is why I started doing a series in five parts for these Rants. It lets me dig into things a little deeper. So, to set the foundation, we're going to talk about the mind of Christ. THE mind of Christ. Singular. Which is why the title says,...

Priorities part 5

Faith. Hope. Love. Peace. Forgiviness. Grace. Mercy. Did I mention love? Those should be our priorities. But... well... watch this: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy,...

Priorities part 4

When you get your priorities straight you can focus on what's important and let go of what's not. Which is one way to find that inner (and outer) peace. Because, as we saw yesterday, its the peacemakers who are blessed. But you can't make peace until you have peace. You can't give what you don't...

Priorities part 3

This one's a little personal. But you all know I like to use myself as an example, so that nobody else gets offended. Ok. I absolutely believe in turning the other cheek. Not retaliating. I always say, "Don't take things personally, even if they are." I also absolutely believe that once you've...

Priorities part 2

Above all... love one another. That's about as simply as I can put it. And that, to me, is the Gospel. The good news. Because we know that God never requires anything that He doesn't first provide. So if His New Commandment (for the New Man) is to love one another as He has loved us... that means...

Priorities part 1

11/03/2018 19:18

I'm hard to bother. Almost completely unflappable. But one thing that gets me is when people don't put first things first. (That's another habbit of happy, successful people.) We get so distracted so often and let little things wreck us. We make mountains out of molehills. We do things because...

Judgment part 5

11/02/2018 17:15

I guess it comes down to the difference between passing judgment and executing judgment. Judging by appearance, and judging righteous judgment. Walking by sight, and walking by faith. Because--I'll say it one more time loud and proud--we judge all day every day. We judge everything. And sometimes,...

Judgment part 4

11/01/2018 19:58

People think the Bible says a lot of things that it doesn't really say. "Cleanliness is next to Godliness," for example. And, furthermore, you can make the Bible say just about anything you want it to say. So many people wrote it over so many hundreds of years. And, like, thousands of years ago....

Judgment part 3

10/31/2018 19:52

Now that we know what the judgment of God was--not a death sentence, but an eternal life sentence--we can execute that judgment. And, according to Psalm 149:9 it is not just something we SHOULD do. "To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD." Its...
