Relationship part 2

11/19/2018 19:49

I'm gonna put this as simply as I can: "By faith in Christ you are in direct relationship with God" (Galatians 3:26 MSG). And that relationship is a Father/Son relationship. Jesus is our true identity. God in the flesh. Love in a body. God in OUR flesh. Love in OUR body. That's who we really are....

Fun fact: The word "relationship" is not found in the King James Version of the Bible. But it is in the Message Bible quite a bit. I want to start with 2 Corinthians 5:18, "All this comes from God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with...

Team Player part 5

Its finding the balance between giving it everything you've got, and knowing when to say when. That's what's important. Because if you stay too long in a bad situation you might never forgive yourself. And, listen, I'm a loyal guy. I always say, "I've got your back." And I always mean it. So if you...

Team Player part 4

It can be tricky, being a team player. Because while love IS for everybody--freely we have been given love, freely we ought to give love--you really shouldn't put yourself, or keep yourself, in a bad situation. On a bad team, if I can say it that way. So it takes a bit of wisdom to decide whether...

Team Player part 3

I want to switch tactics a little bit today. Because in order to be a team player... you have to be willing to do for others. I know I've been talking about being a team player... and also knowing your worth and not settling. I think that's valid and important. But there's also this: "Let nothing...

Love is giving. I hope if I've established anything through these Rants... its that. But you can't give what you don't have. You can only give what you do have. So when you give and give and give... when you love and love and love... sometimes it feels like you give all you've got, and you have...

Team Player part 1

I said this today, "If she keeps pushing me I'm gonna light her up." And this was the response--given by someone who knows me very, very well-- "That doesn't sound like you. You're too nice for that." And its true. I like to think of myself as a team player. I like to think that I try hard, not...

One Mind part 5

11/12/2018 18:19

To end this Rant series I want to connect the two verses that I think speak most about the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16, "For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ." I think that's so important. So important. Because people always want...

One Mind part 4

11/11/2018 19:49

The thought is singular: I love you. But the method in which the thought is expressed is unlimited. There are so many ways to love people. Something as simple as a smile can brighten someone's whole day. And I've found that the little things ARE the big things. It doesn't always have to be some...

One Mind part 3

11/10/2018 19:40

One mind means one thought, right? And the thought is, "I love you." What else would the God who is love think towards us--we who He created in order to have something to love. But there are lots of different ways to express that thought. Charity is love in action, right? And, really, actions DO...
