bible – Radical Road

Weakness.

I have read and heard the verses in 2 Corinthians 12:8-10 many times. They are all about the Apostle Paul’s thorn in his side, his pleading with God to remove it, how and why God left it. And so, the famous bible verse became… “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is madeContinue reading “Weakness.”

Sovereign.

Jesus really is astonishing. I just finished reading through the Gospels simultaneously, something I have never done before. It was beautiful. It was like meeting Jesus all over again. I highly encourage you to do the same at some point in your walk with God. In Matthew 15 and Mark 7, we have the storyContinue reading “Sovereign.”

Seasons

I remember being in class as a kid and having the “golden rule” on the wall. It was something we repeated daily: do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Well, the other day I was deep into Luke 6 and there it was, right out of scripture: And as you wishContinue reading “Seasons”

I AM with you.

The story of Gideon is what I think, one of the better stories in the book of Judges. And this is what I love so much about Gideon, he is not afraid to bring his fear to God. He is face to face with the angle of the LORD and he questions Him! “Pardon me,Continue reading “I AM with you.”

Goodness & Faithfulness

In Genesis, Abraham gets this wild promise from God: Then the LORD said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and they will be enslaved and mistreated. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they willContinue reading “Goodness & Faithfulness”

ALL ARE WELCOME

You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Ephesians 5:5 It’s interesting, this verse coming shortly after Paul’s big talk on unity. Because it almost depicts heaven as something thatContinue reading “ALL ARE WELCOME”

Waiting Season

Do you ever have those seasons in your life where it feels like the only question everyone asks you is the one question you want nothing to do with? Maybe you don’t want to be asked because it feels to raw and vulnerable. Maybe you don’t want to be asked because it is annoying andContinue reading “Waiting Season”

Embrace Sacrifice

That is what Jesus calls us to. When we sacrifice, we are picking up our cross daily, we are acknowledging that Jesus is Lord over our lives, and we are trusting in who He is, in what He says, and in His plan and purpose over our lives. Sacrifice in the Old Testament, from theContinue reading “Embrace Sacrifice”

Peace.

“But don’t be fooled; if peace is what we seek, we will find it’s true sources only in Christ.” ~Ruth Chou Simons If you have known Jesus for any amount of time, you know that the way He lived was completely opposite of the world. The whole “In the world, but not of the world,”Continue reading “Peace.”

Prepare Him Room

The other morning I read through Psalm 78, disclaimer, it is a long one. But, it summarizes the story of Israel: God’s people, their salvation, their foolishness, and His unwavering jealous heart FOR THEM. The Psalm outlines miracle after miracle that God provided. Getting them out of Egypt, the wilderness, saving them from themselves overContinue reading “Prepare Him Room”
