It’s the Gospel, the Good News that we can have life in Christ. Not because we loved him enough or had enough faith or did enough good things. But rather because He is sufficient. He loved us, so he came down. Whether the circumstances of life are good or bad, I think we can all …
Who Jesus Is.
I mentioned in my last post that “The majority of people thought they were entirely good enough (for heaven) on their own.” This has been the most difficult thing about evangelism - apathy towards Jesus. Not a lot of people care. Hence, we have a problem - We live in a society that is so …
Who We Are.
Especially as we enter a new year, a lot of people are filled with hope for a fresh start. We want to better ourselves, to become the “best version” of us, to lean into our purpose and to find fulfillment. And I think one of the most practical ways for us to begin any of …
The greatest gift
There is a God and his name is Yahweh. He is I Am. He is Creator. He is Most High. He is All-Sufficient. He is Lord. He is Holy and Righteous, Just and Love. He created the world and all that is in it. And it was good. It was good until the first two …
No word will fail.
Independent of our relationship with God, He Is. He is All-Sufficient, All-Knowing, All-Powerful. He is Most High, and he is Lord. And his word is true. He is truth. Not my truth, not your truth, not all our truths. He alone is truth. It has brought so much peace and stability lately to reflect on …
You said it.
It’s been an interesting season for me - spiritually, emotionally, relationally… interesting. I’ve taken a step back from a lot in efforts to stabilize a bit, and while I’m still not exactly sure what God’s teaching me, what I’ve sunk significantly deeper into is something that’s available to all believers: God’s truth - His Word, …
Hearing from God
I wonder if trusting in God is easier when a situation is far out of our control. When my heart is really troubled and I’m super upset, I run to God because there is nowhere else to go, because I have no idea what to do. But if my heart is only partially troubled, then …
Do you see anything?
It’s so interesting that Jesus asks the man, “Do you see anything?” Jesus is God. He knew that the man’s sight was not entirely restored. I wonder if it was a test. I wonder if he asked the man if he saw anything to test the man’s faith, to see if the man believed that …
The Sale of the Gospel
“I started giving more and more of my life back to Jesus, and in Him, I have found freedom, joy and stability that I could not find anywhere else.” That’s what I originally had written in my last post. And it’s true. It’s also not constant. This side of salvation, I have freedom, joy and …
A challenge to dig deeper – Why? Part 2
Why do you believe what you believe? Why do I believe the Bible? As I wrote and thought about this post, a whole lot of reasons came to mind. But there are two that have had the biggest influence: a personal reason and a practical reason. Personally - nothing has changed my life more than …
