Why I Finally Stopped Counting Everything

by

Years ago I had little counter boxes next to each one of my social media share buttons at the end of each one of my blog posts. After I published a post those number totals of how many people were sharing that post to their social media sites dictated to me if I was acceptable […]

Imagine

by

Imagine a place where everyone has equal status, everyone is honored, everyone is cared for, everyone is loved just simply because they exist. Imagine a place where everyone cares for everyone else, no one’s needs are greater than another’s, and that everyone has a place at the table. Imagine a place where everyone is loved,

665. The Gospel Is the Gift of God’s Righteousness

by

Something commonly found in our Christian vocabulary is the word gospel. But just exactly how is it defined from a scriptural perspective? Ask a room full of believers what the gospel is, and it’s likely you’ll receive many different answers. So even something as commonplace as “the gospel” is often described in many different ways. This isn’t necessarily always a bad thing, but often our personal perspectives about what we think the gospel is will sometimes contradict what other believers think. Can’t we agree on something that should be so simple? In order to drill through all of the traditional fluff, we take a look at a foundational passage from the Apostle Paul as he reveals the primary meaning of the gospel, and how it differs from the “bad news” that was in place before Jesus came along.

How Guilt & Condemnation Was Blocking Me From Losing Weight

by

When you want something special to eat that is not on your diet plan do you give yourself full permission to enjoy it or do you feel bad the whole time you’re eating it? I did the later for many years and it was not helping me. In fact, the guilt I was feeling actually […]

Grace to Accomplish

by

through whom (Jesus) we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name’s sake, (Romans 1:5) In this opening to the Roman Christians, Paul was laying out his calling to the Gentiles.  He states that through Jesus he and his team have received grace to

663. Reigning in Life

by

When the focus of our belief in God is merely built upon good and evil—trying to avoid evil and working at doing good—it will not set us free, nor will it help us to do what is good and right. Instead our mindset should be on the person of Jesus Christ and God’s love and grace. Once we begin to understand that we died and were raised with Jesus Christ—and have received His life in us—we can begin to experience the gift of righteousness that will allow us to be more aware and conscious of what He accomplished on our behalf. A deeper revelation of the gospel and the finished work of Christ will help us to escape whatever bondage empty religion will try to burden us with.

661. Living in Grace and the Will of God – Part 2

by

Christians have often been working from a mindset that has encouraged them to continually seek the specific “will of God” in our everyday lives. It sounds religiously correct, and it will preach pretty good during Sunday sermons, but in some instances, it may lead people into a type of bondage that leads to fear and worry. There’s nothing wrong with seeking guidance from the Lord regarding specific situations in our lives. But you need not fear as to whether you are in God’s will as a believer in Christ.

REST – The Most Effective Way to Live

by

Here’s a message I shared recently at my home church, Living Word Church. In it I talk about how, so many times in life, we can try to work for certain things or we can rest, knowing Jesus has already finished the work and given us those things. The choice is ours. One way of […]

660. Living in Grace and the Will of God – Part 1

by

Unlike those who lived under the Old Covenant, after the cross we’re told by the Apostle Paul that believers have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). With that in “mind,” it’s entirely possible that believers can begin to overthink when it comes to living our daily lives while seeking the will of God in all kinds of situations. The Spirit of God is able to communicate to our hearts in a way that surpasses our natural understanding. Live life, enjoy it, be free to make choices without fear and depend upon Him to accompany you every step of the way.

Merry Christmas 6 months early because this may just be the best present you’ve ever received! I was so excited after receiving this document from Paul Ellis, whose ministry we support, that I just couldn’t even bring myself to wait until the morning to prepare this post and send it to you.

659. Walking in God’s Grace in Our Daily Lives

by

We hear a lot about grace and may talk about the grace of God quite often, but what does it mean when going about our normal everyday lives on planet earth? Ultimately it may begin with realizing grace isn’t just a sermon topic, but its roots are tracked back to the Person of Jesus Christ. Grace doesn’t revolve around various religious practices, but it’s about abiding in an intimate relationship which God has extended to you. As Christ is revealed to us and in us, we can set our minds on Him and what He has done, instead of focusing on self-efforts to change our behavior. The walk becomes much easier in all facets of our lives when we relax and keep our eyes on the One who is the author and finisher of faith.
