jesus – 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”

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.

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”

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”
