I try to only Rant about things that I think are important, right? Things that will help us experience this life we've been given. Things that help when the rubber meets the road. Practicaly things. Which, of course, is why I always try to Rant about love. Why I always try to look at things through...

I know this isn't what Jesus was necessarily saying with His proverb about the seed being sown, but look at Matthew 13:5-6, "Some fell upon stony placed, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched;...

The best way to get rid of something is to starve it. Because what you feed is what will grow. And the best way to starve the "bad" stuff is to focus only on the good stuff. Look at Luke 3:10-11, "And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? He answereth and saith unto them, He that...

What you feed is what grows. That's my theme for this Rant series. And the best way to get rid of the stuff in your life that you don't want in your life... is to starve it. And the best way to starve the "bad" stuff is by feeding the "good" stuff. Setting your affection on things above, not on...

The best way to get rid of things in your life that you don't want in your life... is to starve them. And the best way to starve those things is to feed the other things. Because what you feed is what will grow. Let me say it like this, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever...

Here's the straight fact: What you feed is what will grow. What you magnify in your life is what manifests in your life. If you're always stressing out about worse case scenarios... not only are you going to wear yourself slap out... but you are, in a sense, going to bring those doom and gloom...

There was a time when we were dead in our trespasses and sins. Before the cross. But that time has passed. We have been brought out of death and into life. Now let me say that another way. "Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound"...

I can't honestly go too long without quoting this memory verse because it (along with most of the rest of them) is one of my favorites. Deuteronomy 30:19, "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life,...

Here's where we get into trouble, "And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (Luke 10:25). We think its all about what WE do. About EARNING it. And, ironically, this lawyer was talking about what he had to do to INHERIT...

Yesterday I took kind of the long view. The eternal view. How, before the cross, we were dead in our trespasses and sins. And then, through the cross, how we were quickened--brought back to life. And not just any life, but Jesus' abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life. I think that's so...
