Jesus, Friend of Sinners

Sometimes I wonder, if Jesus were to come today like He did back then, or instead of back then, how comfortable would I be with Him? Would I like Him? Would any of us who claim to be His followers like Him? We love Jesus of course, but considering all the upset that...

A Bit More Advice

I've given advice before (A Little Advice, Introspective Advice, A Little More Advice), and while I'm not qualified to tell you what to do with your life, I can tell you some helpful things. God's idea is always better than yours. He sees all of time at once and knows...

Further Notes

I figured I'd share some of my notes again. Just because someone isn't doing their job is no excuse for you not to do yours. You don't have to prove others wrong to do what you know is right. When Abraham was "bargaining" with God in Genesis 18, it wasn't about...

Being Happy, Being Holy

I've written about this before in Holiness and Happiness, but upon reading a devotional this morning, I don't think I spent enough time emphasizing an important part in that blog post. Yes God cares more about your holiness than your happiness, but God has designed us...

Making Lists

We all have lists: things we need to do, things we want to do, offenses committed against us, good things done for us, things someone else needs or wants us to do, things in the budget or not. Let's look at the offensive list. You will obtain quite a list of offenses...

Unbridled Obedience

We typically use bridles and bits with horses to get them to go where we want them to. But if you and your horse have spent enough time together and know how to communicate, eventually you don't need a bridle. You can just hop up onto the horse's bare back without so...

Notes on Godly Fruit

A tree needs sunlight to produce fruit. Christians will experience a drop in fruit production when walking in darkness. We need Son-light. The fruit of the Spirit is not a basket of different fruits from which you get to pick and choose, it is something you should be...
