Exercise part 1

Listen, if you know me you know I've skipped going to the gym... for the past fifteen years. So that's almost certainly not what I'm talking about here. Look at 1 Timothy 4:8, "For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is,...

There is only one memory verse in the Old Testament of the King James version of the Bible that has both the words "Spirit" and "Truth" in it. Psalm 31:5, "Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth." And I've been waiting to use this verse until the end here....

I think this memory verse kind of says what I think I've been trying to say: "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise" (Ephesians 1:13). You can't trust...

Truth can be a little bit tricky, in the sense that the truth is always the truth no matter what... but if you don't believe it, it isn't true to YOU. Its like, if you have a million dollars in the bank, but you don't know its in there, you aren't going to spend it. You shall KNOW the truth, and...

Think about this for a minute: I think we kind of all agree that God lives in us through His Spirit, right? I've heard it said like this, "I am a spirit, I have a soul, I live in a body." And I don't want to get into the soul deal right here. There's a lot that could be said about that. The point...

I'm stuck on a truth kick. Because, as we just saw in the last Rant series, knowing the truth is what sets us free. But let's really look at this; set us free from what? Sin, of course. Because sin is unbelief. Believing that you have to do in order to be. Believing that you have to earn something...

I've mentioned this a couple of times but I want to really hit it home as I end this Rant series: There's an old saying that goes, "Keep your words soft and sweet, because you might have to eat them." Which, to me, is really more about simple accountability than anything. "Did you say that?" Yes....

Words can be used to hurt or to heal. To tear down or to bind up. But look at Genesis 15:1, the first time the word "word" is used in the King James Bible. Which makes it the law of first mention, right? Sets the tone for how it is to be used? "After these things the word of the LORD came unto...

Sticks and Stones part 3

I pretty much only want to key in on one memory verse today. Its pretty simple, but incredibly powerful. "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). The truth--the ultimate truth of the universe that God is love and He loves you--sets us free. LOVE sets us free....

Words are important. That's my focus for this Rant series. What you say matters. Being a man of your word. We touched on this verse in the "Put On" Rant series, but it fits here too: "Lie not one to another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds" (Colossians 3:9). One of the...
