There will be a break in posts for about a week or so, my family is going to Disney World this Sunday following worship at Asbury (come join us 8:20 or 10:40!). I’ll be back the next week and resume posting then! The Old Testament prophets are constantly warning the people. Stop doing the things that [...]

Faithful
Posted in Reflections, tagged Covenant, Faithful, Genesis, Promise on May 16, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
One of the things we talk about a lot in church/faith/religion is the notion that we need to be faithful to God. We should stand up for God. Do right. Do what God wants! And all of these notions are right and true. All of these notions are for real. We should do each of [...]
You Can Do It

Today, no matter what task is facing you, you can do it. In Philippians 4: 11-13 today, Paul is talking about the trials that he has faced in His life and in His ministry. He recounts them all. Listen to what he says: Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in [...]
Good Dirt

Jesus often communicated with parables. These were stories that related the point He was trying to get across to common things that the people of the day would understand. Jesus was followed mainly by the common people of His day. So, many of His parables talk about things they (and we) would understand. Family. Land. [...]
Be Nice

The way most letters in the New Testament end is very practical. The letters, by the way, are the books that follow the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) and Acts. The letters were written by Paul and other leaders in the early church. And were literally what they say they were – letters. The [...]
Watch Where You Walk

Growing up out in the country, you had to watch where you walked. If you were down by the creek, you had to look out for snakes. Be careful. Sometimes if you were just running through the woods, you had to look out for roots. I’ve had a lot of friends (me included) that would [...]
At Your Worst Moment

Today’s passage has one of the most powerful and important concepts in all of scripture. Today’s passage lays one of the most important truths about God out for us. Paul, in Romans, is laying out for us the fact that we are saved by grace through faith, not by anything that we can do. Our [...]

Today in Galatians 5:13-15, Paul points us down two roads that we can go down. Listen to what He says: For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You [...]
To Give Him Glory

Today, in Psalm 50, God tells us to call upon Him in times of trouble. To thank Him and to make our vows to Him. And to call for His strength and might in our times of trial. Listen to what verses 14-15 say: Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and perform your vows [...]
The Way
Posted in Reflections, tagged Jesus, Life, Truth, Way on May 1, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Jesus Christ is the way to life. That’s it. That’s it. That sounds too simple. It sounds too exclusive. It’s not smart enough. It’s old-fashioned. It’s out of date. It’s simple-minded, foolish, and not at all fashionable in the world we live in. But it is the truth. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, [...]
