HOW DO YOU MEASURE SIN?
David's standard for measuring sin was not the wickedness of Saul, it was the holiness of God. How do you measure sin?
OUT OF ALIGNMENT
When the Body is out of alignment, when the Head is not in its proper position, there is pain, confusion, and a lack of power.
VOTING PRIVILEGE
It's a privilege to exercise our right to vote. I'm going to be out of the country on election day, so I took advantage of early voting!
Passive Passion
What I can only describe as a “passive passion” is what once moved me to tears has become the status quo without igniting my passion.
COVENANT OF PEACE
What a blessing it is to know the peace that calms our fears and helps us deal with questions for which we have no answer.
BLIND FAITH
Faith starts with simple obedience no matter how ridiculous it sounds, no matter how silly it seems; this is what we call "blind faith".
CONSIDER HUMILITY
True humility accepts less even when more is deserved. Pride exalts self; humility exalts the Lord. Choose humility as your lifestyle.
FACING DISAPPOINTMENT AND DISCOURAGEMENT
To whom do you turn when facing disappointment and discouragement? "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we trust...the Lord."
WALK BY FAITH
Faith believes something is real without having seen it, seeing it with the eyes of faith, "for we walk by faith, not by sight".
TINY PACKAGES
“So” reminds us that sometimes big things are wrapped up in tiny packages. Two letters capture the immenseness of God's love—He gave the best He had to give to show He so loves us.
MY GOD, I AM THINE
It is a blessing we dare not take for granted to know that we belong to Him. With all our failures. With all our frailty. With all our mis-steps. In our falling down. In our tripping up. In the throes of lack and want. In the midst of pain and weakness. We are His.
NOT ASHAMED
Now is NOT the time to be silent. Now IS the time to join our testimony with Paul's saying, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
OH, GOD HELP US!
When we allow His name to be used in vain—as CURSE words—and don’t say anything, we are literally saying it doesn’t offend us when it SHOULD offend us!
A HEART OVERFLOWING
Worship is a spontaneous response from a heart overflowing with love and desire to respond with love. Surrender. Reverence. Humility. Love.
COVENANT OF EXCHANGE
The covenant of exchange is a basic principle: I will become what you are and you will become what I am; our souls are knit together as one.
DROUGHT GRIPPING MUCH OF THE US
Let's be sure our churches are bearers of the "rain" instead of fading into the status quo of the natural and spiritual drought.
PREACHING OF THE CROSS
I am so in awe of the great lengths God went to in order to make a way for me. The preaching of the cross--may it ever be my life’s theme.
