Look and Live part 2

What you magnify is what will manifest in your life. What you see is what you be. What you believe is what you experience. Again, with the understanding that you can't just "believe" whatever you want. Or, more accurately, wish and dream and hope for whatever you want. "Believing" you have a...

Look and Live part 1

So in order to get that Rant series across, I have to kind of mix my metaphors a little bit. But, really, I hope we'll see that its all the same thing. Kind of like how its all about love. Everything in the Bible is just Jesus. The Old Testament is Jesus concealed, and the New Testament is Jesus...

Faith Works part 5

This is one of my favorite stories about faith. Matthew 9:28-30, "And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto...

Loving people is a lot of work. There, I said it. But now let me explain what I mean. Loving people ISN'T hard. Because loving people is the natural effect of what's inside us coming out. Love is our new (true) nature. What I mean is... people give love in lots of different ways. And, equally if...

Faith Works part 3

Here's the question: "This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?" (Galatians 3:2). And here's the answer: "Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect in the flesh?" (Galatians 3:3). Its all about faith. Its...

Faith works when you do. Because faith without works is dead. Charity is love in action. And its not about talking the talk. Its about walking the walk. Don't sing it. Bring it. Don't talk about it. Be about it. I believe that love is maximum effort. Both because it the most powerful thing you can...

Faith Works part 1

There have been two phrases in my head over the last little while, and they both pretty much mean the same thing. "Don't sing it... bring it." That's from a pro wrestler. And, "Don't talk about it, BE about it." I don't know where I picked that one up from. But like I said, basically the same...

The Dove part 5

12/22/2018 19:54

To me, the dove is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost that descended upon Jesus when He was baptized. The dove that Noah released from the ark that flew all the way to that water baptism. And when we understand that we have doves' eyes... when we see things through the lens of love... then we see...

The Dove part 4

12/21/2018 19:46

Seeing with doves' eyes... seeing things through the Holy Spirit... seeing things through the lense of love... is what equips and empowers us to be who we really are. The dove. The Holy Spirit. Jesus. God in the flesh. Love in a body. God in OUR flesh. Love in OUR body. The transformation--or...

The Dove part 3

This is my favorite part. When I was studying Song of Solomon a while ago--feels like a long time ago--I saw something so cool. Ready? Ok. Song of Solomon 1:15 says, "Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes." So take what we've been building on. The dove is the...
