Fullness part 2

Do any of you all remember that old song, "Here's my cup, Lord. Fill it up, Lord"? Something like that. Anyway, that seems to be how most "religious folk" operate; walking around with their hand out, begging for something they haven't got. Or, if they're really feeling good about themselves, trying...

I have no lack because my God has no lack. We used to say that just about every Sunday at my old church as part of our statement of faith. And it really stuck with me. Because, while I believe that is absolutely true, we sure do stumble around acting like we have a lot of lack. Chasing the carrot...

Jesus--God in the flesh, love in a body--is the Life of God. And He lives in us. LIFE lives in us. LOVE lives in us. That is how we are able to experience His abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of God--by letting HIM live it in us, and through us, and as us. That's the Way to love...

Its amazing to me the way "religious folk" will spend (waste) their three T's (time, talent, treasure) trying to make sure they get a good afterlife. Trading the present for a hopeful future. And, I know, its folly to live like there's no tomorrow. Because then tomorrow comes and you've suffering...

A life of love. Which is a life of service. Because love is giving. Laying your life down for your friends. Giving everything you have and everything you are. A life of love. A life worth living. And the key to the whole thing is BEING loved. Because you can't give what you don't have. We CAN lay...

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The Way to God. The Truth about God. The Life of God. The Way to Love. The Truth about Love. The Life of Love. That makes sense, right? Because God is love? If we're talking about God, we're talking about love. And vice versa. Yesterday we looked at the...

To me, if we're going to talk about the Life that Jesus is... the abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of Love... one of the best ways to illustrate it is with John 1:4, "In him was life; and the life was the light of men." Light and life. Two pictures of the same thing. And even...

If all you have is a lie... that's what you'll believe. You can't give what you don't have, and you can only give what you do have. That's why the Truth (which is Jesus, which is love) is so important. Knowing and believing that we are loved is what equips and empowers us TO love. Knowing and...

The Truth part 4

Your thought life is powerful. Nobody talks to you as much as you do. And what you do flows from what you believe. What you think is true. So its very important to exercise self control. You don't have entertain every thought that comes into your head. You don't have to believe everything you...

The Truth part 3

07/23/2018 20:05

Here's the thing about the truth... it (HE) set you free and made you free. Like 2000 years ago on the cross. When the light of the world shined and revealed God's love for us. Revealed that God IS love TO us. But, even though we ARE free, so many of us still act like we're under bondage. We still...
