The Resurrection part 2

09/20/2018 19:37

The resurrection is not in your future. Its in your past. Jesus didn't say, "I will be the resurrection in the last day." "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" (John 11:25). And that's the truth that I want to hit...

Now, before we even get started with this Rant series I'm going to put out a disclaimer: I'm not going to say everything there is to say about the resurrection in five daily Jesus Rants. I think a preacher could probably preach his whole life on the resurrection and barely scratch the surface. So...

Waketh part 5

09/18/2018 19:52

"Waketh" appears two times in the King James Version of the Bible. We used one of them, Song of Solomon 5:2, as our key verse for this Rant series. "I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head...

Sleep is death. And that is completely different than rest. Because rest is how we live. We are awake, but we are NOT running around like chickens with our heads cut off. We are NOT trying to earn something that can't be earned. We are NOT trying to earn our bread by the sweat of our brow. Jesus is...

Waketh part 3

The difference between being awake and asleep is literally the difference between life and death. Sleep walking. The walking dead. Going through the motions. Stuck in a rut--which is just a grave with the ends kicked out. Stumbling around in the dark. Trying the best you can with what you've got...

Waketh part 2

09/15/2018 19:48

Jesus came to wake us from sleep. Because even while we slept, our heart waketh. Before the cross, when we were dead in our trespasses and sins, we KNEW there was something better out there. That's why we spent so much of our three T's (Time, Talent, Treasure) trying to get that something better....

I try to stay in my lane. If I think I have something to say about a topic, I'll say it. If I don't, I generally just leave it alone. So the themes I find myself repeating over and over--receiving and releasing, living the abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of God by letting HIM live...

In this world you will have tribulation. That's just called living. Stuff happens, to paraphrase Forrest Gump. But the thing about it is, well, let me quote a verse in Revelation and then I'll try to unwrap it. "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that...

Torn and Smitten part 4

09/12/2018 19:44

Let me quote our key passage for this Rant series again, "Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight" (Hosea 6:1-2)....

Torn and Smitten part 3

09/11/2018 19:42

You don't have to be punished in order to be blessed. I think that's the point I'm trying to make with this Rant Series. We seem to have the idea that God has to tear US before He can heal us. That He has to smite US before He can bind us up. But that's just not the way it is. God--our heavenly...
