Sometimes it feels like living the Christian life is like trying to catch a carrot on a stick. There's always one more issue to address, one more thing to do, one more sin to overcome- all in a pursuit of what God wants. But what if the reality is that the carrot is already in your hand and it's there because God has freely given it to you in Jesus? How would it change the way you live if you realized all that God has done for you is already true and in your grasp right now?…
The good news is simple. Trusting Jesus to be enough when it goes against what you previously understood can be difficult. But choosing only Jesus is the only way to experience the freedom He promised.
Reading the first couple verses of Hebrews 12 makes many want to get on the treadmill and start running...but what if it actually points to the ability to rest?
In 2 Corinthians 5 Paul gives two realities for those who have been born again with a new nature: 1) As new creations, we now get to relate to ONE ANOTHER based on the nature of Christ within us (This is great news for the church!) 2) As new creations, we get to relate to THE WORLD based on the nature of Christ within us.…
If we live in the Spirit let us also walk by the Spirit. It's the most natural thing for people born of the Spirit to live consistently with their newness. It's like saying "Since you are a human why don't you walk on two feet?"
Parenting is difficult. Things change in our relationship with our children as they grow. Mary the Mother of Jesus found that she was no exception. May we find some comfort and encouragement in this.
Jesus told the disciples that when the Holy Spirit came on them they would receive power. We inherit this same power, but this power goes beyond the momentary big and flashy events. This power has everything to do with the work of the Holy Spirit within each of us as He indwells and works within us.
On the Sunday before Easter we take time to reflect on the sacrifice that Jesus made before we celebrate the finished the work of defeating death in the resurrection (that's next week!).
As we go through life we often adopt spiritual practices and beliefs by the "if it works, it must be true" method. This played out in Jacob's life in Genesis 30 when he tried an interesting method to gain advantage over his father in law in a business deal. However, going through life like this means picking up unnecessary baggage in our relationship with God missing out on much of the freedom we are offered in Jesus' death and resurrection. What have you adopted as truth and a way of life, because one time it "worked?"…
John 10 is a familiar passage of scripture to many, but in it Jesus uses several mixed metaphors. This often leads us to dividing the passage and interpreting it separately, which honestly can lead us to differing conclusions. Who's the shepherd, who's the door, and who/what is the thief that comes to steal, kill, and destroy? Looking at the whole context of this statement from John 10 sheds new light on this familiar verse/passage.…
When faced with decisions in life we often seek "the will of God", especially if we believe He has some great purpose or plan for us. Abram clearly understood that God had a great purpose for His life in His promised blessing...but when the time came for a decision He left it up to Lot. Many of us want to do the will of God so we don't step out of the blessing of God, but what if for the Born Again the will of God is that we are blessed in Christ regardless of where we go or what we do?…
Lost sheep look and act like lost sheep but Jesus said that He came to find the lost ones in order to bring them home, even while they are acting like lost sheep.
John the Baptist had a ministry preaching "repentance and baptism for the forgiveness of sins"...in preparation for the coming of the Messiah. That means he was preaching the forgiveness of sins before Jesus ever did anything. Is the message of repent, be baptized, and try real hard to live a good life, really what we are given in Christ if it's the same message John was preaching before the Messiah? Maybe we're missing something...maybe we have something better than that. Behold the Lamb of God who TAKES AWAY the sin of the world.…
Jesus asked Peter if he loved Him. Of course Peter loved Him...Jesus knew that Peter loved Him. So why was Jesus asking? The larger context of the passage and Peter's experience with Jesus reveals that Jesus was telling Peter something very specific: "You are not who you used to be anymore."
Moses made two trips from Egypt to Mt Sinai. One of those trips was driven by fear in pursuit of safety that led him to meeting God in fear. The other trip was driven by trust and resulted in Freedom meeting God in relationship. The same two options lay in front of us today.
Joseph came from a family that was dysfunctional for generations but when the time came he decided that the cycle ended with him. We all come from some kind of dysfunction...but we can choose not to continue it. We can make a fresh start with our families and what we choose to pass on to the next generation.…
The Magi were the definition of "outsiders" in this story. To the Jewish people made aware of the messiah, these men must have seemed like uninvited guests to the party. Yet God saw fit to include and invite them all the same...and the this was the plan all along. Everyone is invited to experience the life changing love and grace of this savior.…
The shepherds were the first to know that the savior had been born. When the angel greets them and brings them the good news he also assures them that they are being given a sign. What was the sign, and why would they need one? God is communicating to you and me through this group of shepherds that He knows you and He sees you. You are important and valuable to Him.…
We know from the life and ministry of Jesus that God reaches across religious and societal boundaries. Zechariah and Elizabeth might look like they belong and are insiders to the untrained eye, but they likely didn't experience life that way. In the middle of the biggest event in history, God remembers them and shows them that they have not been overlooked or forgotten.…
In Acts 16 Paul and Silas have their backs literally against the prison walls. We are often impressed by their reaction to the situation, but are they even reacting at all, or are they simply doing what they would be anyway? For those made new in Christ, we no longer have to live our lives reacting to whatever circumstance we find ourselves.…
