“This is why I tell you: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the sky: they don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds […]
How much of your life is beyond your ability to control it, or fix it, or even understand it? Joseph prevailed in Potiphar’s home because he thought it was normal to be awesome because of his identity rather than waiting until his circumstances confirmed it. He prevailed in Pharaoh’s prison because he thought that it was normal to be in […]
Seek first His Kingdom and His Righteousness. How very different will our lives be today if we make no change other than to pray before we have problems?
Stolen cars still work. Our lives, even when we have rebelled against our King, will still work, and maybe even do good work. It is important that we are doing the work we have been assigned, though. Books are being written about all our work (Revelation 20:11-15). I presume there are pages notating the days there is a lack of […]
Counting yourself dead to sin does not mean giving up all your bad habits. It means giving up your self. When you give your self to Jesus, He kills it and gives you a self that can obey Him. The new one can be moved to see His Kingdom. It becomes one of your most valuable possessions, when His name […]
Measure all of your thoughts, plans and actions in light of these: Self-interest Christ-interest Both are costly. One has a massive return on the investment. He hasn’t called you to be less elderly or more youthful. His invitation is to die, and then be born from above. Inoculations don’t work against death. You have to experience it at least once. […]
Ministries that run like families are much more productive and do a much better job of both making mistakes and manifesting the Kingdom of Heaven than ministries that run like ant farms. When your relationship with the body of Jesus is made up of your relationships with people, you gain and give more life in the process than when it […]
Once upon a time, a group of people who had been a nation’s slaves cried out to their ancestors’ God for help. That God sort of surprised them by sending someone to them to lead them in a revolution. He successfully led them out of the nation that had owned them, and took them out to another place, where there […]
We can learn much from Jesus about how to accomplish our ministries by looking at how He accomplished His. This is partly true because while He was doing ministry in the earth, He used the same resources that He has made available to us. We can’t do any supernatural ministry apart from the Holy Spirit gifting us with power to […]
The heavens declare the glory of God;And the firmament shows His handiwork.Day unto day utters speech,And night unto night reveals knowledge.There is no speech nor languageWhere their voice is not heard.Their line has gone out through all the earth,And their words to the end of the world.Psalm 19:1-4a NKJV The heavens are telling the glory of God…. Since the beginning, […]
