No Ill part 2

06/22/2018 19:34
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour. That's from Romans 13:10. And I think its interesting that Paul wrote love as if He was a person. Because, of course, He IS a person. God is love. Jesus is God in the flesh, love in a body. God in your flesh. Love in your body. Jesus is your true identity....

I always seem to come back to the nature of love. We have the love nature. Our new (true) nature that was revealed to us when Jesus laid His life down on the cross. When Jesus gave His life for us and to us. Love is not just what God does, love is who God is. And as He is, so are we in this world....

Self Care part 5

The best way--perhaps the only way--to truly take care of yourself is to let your heavenly Father take care of you. And you let God take care of you, by taking care of others. By receiving and releasing the gift of God that He gave to you 2,000 years ago on an old rugged cross. By letting God love...

Self Care part 4

Taking care of others is how we take care of ourselves, but there has to be a balance where we don't hurt ourselves. If I try to do something I can't do... I'm probably just going to make things worse. And that doesn't help anybody. So when I quote my memory verse for today, Philippians 2:4, I'm...

Self Care part 3

Saying no. If you're like me its the last resort. Because if you're like me you want to help people. You want to do what you can do. Someone ask you to do something and you want to say yes. But there are a few things I want to talk about regarding saying no. And the first one is: Sometimes you...

Self Care part 2

Taking care of yourself. Seems like a no-brainer, right? But that's not how it looks to me. It looks to me like people are wearing themselves out trying to get something they think they haven't got by being someone they're not. Trying to earn something that can't be earned. Trying to win the...

Self Care part 1

I mentioned this idea of "self care" a couple of days ago and I want to pick up on it and really dig into it. Because I think its important. And when I Rant--yes, I write to figure things out a lot of the time--but when I Rant I want to put something useful out into the world. Something helpful. So...

Life and Death part 5

06/15/2018 19:08
Love is the difference between life and death. Because love and life are the same thing. No love, no life. Know love, know life. And what got Adam--and all of humanity before the cross--into trouble is that he thought he needed to earn God's love through the knowledge of good and evil so that he...

Life and Death part 4

06/14/2018 19:54
Heaven and hell. Life and death. Love... and fear. That's right. I said fear. Not hate. I don't think you can actually hate something that you don't, deep down, actually love. I think hatred is more the reaction to rejection than anything else. And when we see what love casts out--in 1 John...

Life and Death part 3

06/13/2018 19:47
Get busy living or get busy dying. That's about as simply as I can put it. And here's the thing--we know that we HAVE passed from death into life because we love each other. We WERE dead in our trespasses and sins, but we HAVE been quickened and brought back to life by our heavenly Father. And not...
