A Prayer For A Different Kind Of Power

2025/07/09

Send us a text A Prayer For A Different Kind of Power “May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, so that you may have all endurance and patience…”- Colossians 1:11 The type of power the writer of Colossians is describing here is very different from what we normally think of as power. The kingdoms of this world associate power with physical or military strength, money or economic power, and social status, popularity or influence. The writer of...

By Loving, Not Believing Correctly

2025/07/08

Send us a text By Loving Not Believing Correctly “Teacher," he said, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" - Luke 10:25 Don’t misunderstand the question. The lawyer wasn’t asking Jesus how he could get into heaven after he died. He was asking how he could experience the deepest, fullest, most meaningful, and satisfying life. The answer is simple, but it is not easy. The answer is love. First we love God with everything we have living life with equal parts wonder, appreci...

Send us a text Who Are The Gods? “God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment.” - Psalm 82:1 Who are these gods that the Lord God is meeting with in the divine council? Who is accountable for the state of things in this world? Some of you reading and or listening to this may be shocked to learn that the answer is us. We are: “I say, "You are gods, children of the Most High, all of you” (82:6) We are gods, children of the Most High an...

We Don’t Have To Be Dead To Experience Eternal Life

2025/07/06

Send us a text You Don’t Have To Be Dead To Experience Eternal Life “ …If you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit.” - Galatians 6:8 The concept of eternal means without beginning or ending. The concept of eternal life in Galatians speaks less to the life we expect to experience in the future and more to the quality of life we can experience now. This is the same concept that Jesus describes as the Kingdom of God. At various times Jesus said the Kingdom of...

Send us a text When We Feel Like God Is Angry With Us “For his anger is but for a moment; his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning.” - Psalm 30:5 Sometimes life is so hard, so unfair, and so cruel that it feels like God is angry with us. It feels like we are being punished. It especially feels that way when we know we have done something wrong. Some people see religion as a tool used by the powerful to manipulate and contr...

Send us a text Hope, Humility, Time and Consistency “So he went down and immersed himself seven times in the Jordan… his flesh was restored… and he was clean.” - 2 Kings 5:14 Healing and restoration seldom happen the way we expect them to. They seldom happen the way we want them to. And they always seem to take longer than we want them to. But the story of Naaman reminds us that healing and restoration can and do happen. Naaman was healed and restored in part because made th...

In a place that valued tenure and experience, she was a youth. In a world that valued men and manhood, she was a girl. Nevertheless, her words drove everything that happened in this story.

How much more, when all he said to you was, 'Wash, and be clean'?" - from 2 Kings 5:13 In most areas of his life, Naaman was highly successful. He was happily married.

Send us a text Clothed with Gladness “Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;” Psalm 30:11 There will be times in life where we are heartbroken and disappointed, when we feel the pain of loss, when we mourn and grieve. We don’t have to pretend that we are ok when we are not ok. It’s appropriate for us to give voice to our pain rather than deny it. There may even be times when we feel guilt and shame, when...

Send us a text How We Come to Take Pride in Ourselves “All must test their own work; then that work, rather than their neighbor's work, will become a cause for pride.” - Galatians 6:4 How do we come to feel good about ourselves? How are we able to take pride in ourselves and in the way we live? These are important questions. Everyone should have a healthy sense of self worth. For the Apostle Paul, a big part of that answer is for us to stop comparing ourselves to other peopl...

How Do We Know We Are Being Spirit Led?

Send us a text How Do We Know If We Are Being Spirit Led? “If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.” - Galatians 5:25 How do we know if we are being spirit led? Self delusion and self deception are very real things. And many others will pretend to be what they’re not to get what they want. The first step is that we have to examine the fruit. Is the action or behavior motivated by love or is it being driven by anger, bitterness, fear, greed, lust, or hate?&nbs...

There’s More Than One Pie

Send us a text There’s More Than One Pie “You bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.” - from Galatians 5:15 In the previous verse, Paul reminds us that, “the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Paul’s metaphor of biting and eating one another is the contrast to loving one another. Do we see life as more of a competition or as more of a cooperation? If we see life primarily as a competition,...

Send us a text From Love and Joy to Peace “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” (from Galatians 5:22-23) I find the order of Paul’s list of attributes to be fairly significant. Everything starts with love, love for God, love for self, love for neighbor as one’s self. Rooted, grounded, and surrounded by the love of God, friendships, and community we experience a deep joy that emerges from our gratitu...

Be Sure to Read the Middle Part Too

2025/06/26

Send us a text Be Sure to Read the Middle Part… In Galatians 5, the Apostle Paul sets up a contrast or dichotomy to describe what our lives look like when they are Spirit led and when they are not. The non Spirit list begins with sexual immorality and ends with drunkenness. Many readers treat these two as the entirety of the list without seriously considering what’s in between: “idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy…” (from Galat...

Jesus knew that fulfilling his purpose required a return to Jerusalem, a place where he was already wanted by the authorities. Jesus knew that his showing the world how to live in the Kingdo...

This is the question James and John asked Jesus. Jesus’s answer was no. Not, wait until later. Not, I’m gonna give them one more chance. Not, I’ll do it myself.

He had gotten comfortable with them. They had given him the strength to break chains, and the freedom to lead an unconventional life. People didn’t respect him but they did fear him. He was comfortable with his dysfunctions. He knew how to live with them. He knew what to expe...

Elijah couldn’t stay where he was. The life he had known was gone never to return. He had to let go of his grief for the past and his fear of the future to get unstuck and move ahead.
