Practice part 2

Here's a movie line for you, because you know how much I love movies: "You know how you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice." And while yesterday I was talking about practicing what you preach in order to not be one of those judging, hypocritical "Christians" people are so quick to holler at... today I...

As in, "Practice what you preach." As in, "Put your money where your mouth is." As in, "Where the rubber meets the road." Basically: Charity. Which is love... in action. And that, to me, is one of the coolest things about Jesus. He didn't just spout off a bunch of stuff that sounded good. He said...

The biggest mistake I think we make--Spiritually speaking--is trying to do things ourselves. Trying to make things happen. And, worst of all, trying to make something happen that happened 2,000 years ago on an old rugged cross. I believe that when Jesus was speaking in John chapter 10 about the...

The key is understanding that the Old HAS passed away. The New HAS come forth. The transition is not about "coming out" of anything. Its about understanding what it means to BE out of it. Laying aside the sin (unbelief) and the weight that so easily besetts us. Letting go of the Old so that we can...

Coming out of the old and into the new (out of death and into life) can be hard. It can be painful. Uncomfortable. That's what the people of Israel found out when Moses lead them out of bondage and into the Promised Land. They whined and moaned the whole way. Even to the point of begging Moses to...

There's a way things were... and there's a way things are. And the thing that happened in between is the cross. Jesus' Six Steps to the Throne where He was Crucified, Died, Buried, Quickened, Raised, and Seated. And not only Him, but us IN Him. Because Jesus didn't just give His life FOR us, He...

To start a new year (the seventh year of daily Rants!) I want to start with the idea of the transition from Old to New. Because even though the cross changed everything--2,000 years ago--we still seem to be stuck in the old, religious mindsets that didn't work for the people of Israel and certainly...

Everybody gets knocked down. Or falls down. Because sometimes its not your fault... but sometimes it is. And either way, when you're down you need someone to help you back up. You DON'T need someone to kick you when you're down. Let me give you an example of it not being your fault. There might be...

A setback is really just a setup for a comeback. So don't give up on people. Put your rally cap on and cheer them on. Help them along. And, at the same time, let others cheer YOU on. Let others help YOU along. Philippians 2:4 says, "Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the...

Even cheerleaders need cheerleaders. That's my thought for today. Because while Jesus spoke of being nourished by doing His Father's will--by serving people--it can be exhausting. My personal definition of love talks about giving everything you have and everything you are even though it seems like...
