The Truth part 2

07/22/2018 19:53

The ultimate truth of the universe goes like this, "God is love and He loves you." That's where we stand. That's the Rock that we build on. That's our foundation. And until we not only KNOW that truth, but BELIEVE that truth--get it past head knowledge and into heart knowledge--we will forever try...

The Truth part 1

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. That's where I'm at these days. He is the Way to love. The Truth about love. The Life of love. So... as we saw in the last Rant series, the Way TO love is the Way OF love. That straight and narrow path that leads to life. Because living is loving and loving...

The Way TO life is the Way OF life! Living and loving. Loving and living. Letting your heart guide the way so you even if you go of course, you can turn back and follow that straight and narrow path. And here's what I want to say to end this Rant series: Just because love is straight and narrow...

The Way part 4

The Way (that leads to life) is straight and narrow. Because there's only one way to truly live: Living by loving. Because living and loving aren't just connected... they are the same thing. Let me connect two verses of Scripture to try to make this point. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He...

The Way part 3

Here's what love does: Love picks you up when you've stumbled and fallen. Love brushes you off and tells you that you can keep going. Love isn't negative. He is positive. And that's why I always key in on one certain word in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is...

Love leads the way. Because love IS the way. And the truth. And the life. But we'll get there. The Word of God (which is Jesus, which is love) is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. Another way of saying: Follow your heart. If your heart doesn't condemn you, you can trust that you're...

This one might take a little getting into. So let's get into it. First of all, John 14:6 says, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." So what we're talking about (as always) is Jesus... love. LOVE is the way, the truth, and the life....

Practice part 5

When you practice what you preach you let what's inside come out. Naturally. Because while practice DOES make perfect (we've kind of looked at that), love is our new (true) nature. Love isn't just what we do... it's who we are. Because God is love. And He lives in us. Loves in us. Loves THROUGH us....

When I first joined the ministry, my mom would always call me a PIT (Pastor In Training). And, to be perfectly honest with you, I thought of myself as a "preacher." I preached the early morning service on Sundays, an occasional Thursday night service, and that was about it. I helped out where I...

Theories are nice. But when you put what you believe into practice, that's when things really get going. That's when things get real. And here's the deal: I always talk about letting what's inside come out, right? Well, the deal is, what's inside DOES come out. All of the time. Or, rather, what you...
