The 2 Greatest

Blame, Deny, Deflect, Defend...that's the way of the world, but it's not the way of Jesus. The way of Jesus is to...OWN IT!

When you think of POWER...under control there are lots of good examples.  My most resent one involved kissing a stingray.

What does it mean when the Bible says God's Word is "living and active?"  In what way is it alive?

People measure their own value in different ways:  money, possessions, education, abilities.  How does GOD measure your worth?

We are all rightfully self conscious of our nakedness.  But there was a time in human history where that wasn't so.  What happened?  What changed?  And how should we now live?

Have you ever been to the Panama Canal?  If so, how would you describe it?  It depends on what you're using to compare it.  On that one hand, it's magnificent, on the other it's...puny!

There's a difference between being KIND and being NICE.  Nice is about people pleasing, kind is about grace AND truth.

What is a fool?  Are you one?  What does the Bible say about fools?

Have you ever been let down, of course you have.  And you've let others down too.  In a world that is changing, scary, with people not able to keep their promises--what is it, or WHO is it that we can COUNT ON?

Yes and yes and yes--we love those words coming to us.  But a little no is like a slap in the face because we think we know best.  What would it take for you to come to the place where you could thank God for His no?

Friendships are hard and when you move, breaking into existing friendships is even harder.  Yet, inviting in is what God does best!

Usually when we think of generosity we think in terms of MONEY or THINGS.  But what if the concept of generosity was SO MUCH BIGGER and WAY MORE EXPANSIVE and INCLUSIVE than that?

Our lips are too fast and loose with words.  We take GREAT words and we too often use them for ordinary things.  And when we do that, the greatness of those words loses some of its shine.

When people ask us if we need a reminder, it may sound offensive, as if we forget...well we do!  When it comes to the things of God, do you need a reminder?

We often don't notice the blessing of life until they are either gone or very hard to get.  What if we had to PAY for air?

We know we can be good, at least sometimes.  And we know we can be mad, too many times.  But can we be both GOOD AND MAD at THE SAME TIME?  Let's dive deeper.

Sometimes in a world where everyone is only out for themselves, we can find an example of a person or company who treats others with dignity.  One such example was on those Dam Ships!

There is a lot of competition for that title.  If I was not a Christian, unbelief would top the list because it would keep me from being in God's family.  So what IS my greatest sin as a Christian?  Listen in.

No one like being in a dangerous storm.  We want out as soon as possible.  But sometimes we force it when we really should just go around.

There are some pretty amazing people, places, things, opportunities that we all experience here on earth during our lifetimes.  But nothing here can hold a candle to what God has prepared for us in eternity.

What if someone said to you "you're full of it" and you took that as a compliment?  Well, you can, listen in!

Here's a famous text that is often applied in exactly the opposite way as God intended.  When you GET it, you'll feel more loved and you'll act more loving!

Do you think God is finished with you?  Too old?  Too yesterday?  Too whatever?  Well, think again.  God is a God of NEW BEGINNINGS for ALL of us.

What a ride!  Thanks for 5 complete years of T2G.  And yet we are NEVER finished being loved by God and loving Him back as we love others.  T2G now and into forever!

Sometimes life feels like your running across the Sahara barefoot looking for water.  May God help us FINISH WELL.
