Strong part 2

Let's add the next verse to our key verse from yesterday. "Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also" (2 Timothy 2:1-2). Its all...

I think sometimes we let "the way of the world" seduce us. We take things as Hollywood presents them to us. We don't put a lot of thought into what really is. Strength, for example. Which is where I'm going to spend the next few days. Because sometimes the strongest thing you can do is... nothing....

When the day star arises in our hearts... Jesus shows up in us, and through us, and as us! Because He IS the day star. The bright and morning star. The sun (SON) that lights up the day. Now look at 1 John 3:2 through the lens of God living--and appearing--in us, and through us, and as us: "Beloved,...

Why is the light so important? So that we can see where we're going. So that we can stop stumbling around in the dark. So that we can see clearly. Look at Luke 1:77-79, "To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the...

The day star is literally the star that shines during the day. The sun. The SON. Jesus. Arising in our hearts to shine forth in us, and as us, and through us. So that WE can shine. Let me link two Bible verses together. "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that...

Jesus is the day star. The bright morning star. The sunshine (SONshine). And that's important to understand because Jesus is God in the flesh. Love in a body. God in OUR flesh. Love in OUR body. So when the day star arises in our hearts, when we see things clearly, we see that its all about love....

I'm kind of obssed with love. Y'all knew that, right? I'm convinced that love is the be-all, end-all. The Alpha and the Omega. The beginning and the end... and everything in between. And God is love, right? You can't talk about one without talking about the other. But there are a few other...

Relationship part 5

I think what I've been trying to say is that life is better when we understand, and cultivate, and take care of, the people in our lives. When we are in relationship with each other. Direct relationship. Loving relationship. Look at Titus 3:7 in the Message Bible, "God's gift has restored our...

Relationship part 4

What if we were honestly, truly, more interested in giving than getting? Think about how much better that would make our relationships. Because that would pretty much do away with expectations. And I believe expectations are the best way in the world to set yourself up for disappointment....

Relationship part 3

True relationship--direct relationship--is about trust. If you can't trust someone, you can't do anything with them. That's why, as we say yesterday, it is faith in Christ that puts us in right relationship with God. Trusting in love is what allows us to live a life of love. Knowing and believing...
