Just pulled a 2 month old apple out of the fridge. It was still good! 

It’s interesting that in the right kind of conditions some types of fruit can last months, and other types of fruit will last a…

What the bible says is TRUE, but not everything EVERYONE said in the bible is TRUE. 

Was Peter right when he rebuked Jesus for saying He'd be soon killed? Were the disciples right when they argued over…

Woke up to a dream this AM (as my alarm sounded). 

I was in an Asian grocery store, and I walked outside. There were people hiding behind large rocks who were looking to cause trouble. 

I told them…

In the NT ... what day is the Sabbath? 

Not a what? 
It's a WHO! 

Jesus, *IS* our rest. 

We don't honor a day, as the living sacrifice we *continually* honor a Person. 

"For you died" - Col 3:3 

Dead people don’t: 

• Talk back or complain 
• Rely on their own power 
• Worry about offending 
• Care what others think 
• Choose their own way 
• Get swayed by their emotions 
• Compromise their beliefs 
• Negotiate…

We can lick our wounds and allow our circumstances to deform our God given image in Christ. 

We can conform to the world in our circumstances and become like the pagans ... refusing to see that GOD IS GOOD…

When we lie and 👉 continue to lie our brain chemistry begins to recognize the information as truth. At some point, after our habits are settled. We aren’t even aware we are lying anymore. 

This is how many teach…

If evil can’t outright destroy you, darkness will try to confuse you.  

Why? Confusion is a bedrock stepping stone to destruction.  

If you are confused, that is an enemy tactic.  

If you are hopeless, that is an…

If I write the word "judgment" on a piece of paper - and put that paper through a shredder - we can no longer make out what the word says. 

Similarly, if we chop the audience of the bible…

”Yes. Father, I believe you are who you say you are - and I believe I am who you say I am.” 

Repentance isn’t always “I’m sorry.” 

REPENT! 
REPENT!  
REPENT!  

Yes. Of course!  

Metanoia (Greek) Change…

Imagine if people walked around with name tags to tell us how they see themselves or what needs they have.  

Would you stop calling them names?  

Would you cut them a break and give them the benefit of…

We don’t work because Adam fell, we do His kingdom work because Jesus was lifted up. 

Truly. We must *stop* looking for our Jesus in the tomb and realize He has been made alive ... with us and in…

Going to get mocked for this. But. Oh well. 

I believe we are in a season where God is exposing darkness. So, that we - His people - can shine truth and bring peace, hope, and glory. 

Honestly…

So, I did a 100% horrible thing - and was a terrible steward of my own word. 

My family and I flew back from NYC this weekend - and we sat in the same exact seats both there and…

I heard someone say recently the rapture is the greatest lie in the church today. Now, I have never been great at eschatology – but that stuck in my spirit and I needed to look into it more. 

Like…

We can't plow a field while looking backwards at the trials, failures, and issues of the past. Otherwise, when you get to the end, everything you did will be done did 👉 crooked. 

Fear looks back, hope moves forward! 

I don’t get facebook defriended when I post extreme things about law and grace. 

But. I get defriended in droves when I suggest that God wants us to grow.  That God desires more. That God desires healthy change within…

Jesus took the 5 loaves. 

THEN. 

Gave THANKS. 

And many thousands were fed. 

A thankful heart paves the way for the miraculous. 

“Jesus then took the loaves, ****gave thanks**** and distributed to those…

Yep. I’ve done school traffic duty for 20 years. 

Been cussed at and threatened. Been given the finger. Been told to go places. Even been chest bumped and run over (on purpose, twice). 

But. You know what. 

…

The answer to your prayer lives in the land between already and not yet. 

Already paid for. 
Already provided. 
Already answered. 
Already on the cross. 
Already washed in His blood. 
Already completed. 

Already seen thru the eyes of…
