If we’re not under the Law why did Jesus tell us not to relax “these commandments?” What did He mean when he said, "until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven"? In this episode, we dive into...

What kingdom enriches you? Fills You? Brings you joy?

We are hard wired for joy! Ps. 16:11 says: "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." This is not a coincidence, but the homing beacon that should pull us back to God. CS Lewis wrote, "nearly all that we call human history . . . [is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which wi...

The overflowing love and goodness of God is the fundamental reason why the universe exists. Richard Sibbes writes that God “delights to spread his beams and his influence in inferior things, to make all things fruitful. Such a goodness is in God as is in a fountain, or in the breast that loves to ease itself of milk.”1 Every disciple of Jesus Christ carries this spiritual DNA within them. As we ar...

"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us" (A.W. Tozer). “To worship God rather than idols of our own making, we must allow God to break apart the idols we create, through the Spirit's relentless and intimate work within our lives” (Miroslov Volf). We must gaze upon the true icon of God and let Him inform and transform us. Who is God? What is He like?...

Christianity without Christ is evil. Our efforts to live the Christian life independently are also evil.

How is capitalism shaping our theology? The marketplace is a great arbiter for determining the best vacuum cleaner or cell phone. How about truth? What happens when the most truthful ideas aren't profitable? What happens when the most profitable ideas aren't truthful?

Sometimes it's harder to be faithful with little than with much....

"Saints are never giants  Who hoped to do God favors. They are only souls Whose needs took root In shallow dust, Becoming redwoods grown From dandelion spores." Calvin Miller

Jesus famously says: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” When we are burdened by our failures, God, in His kindness, is drawing us to Himself.

Imagine if you had always kept God's law perfectly. Imagine the confidence and joy that Jesus has in the Father's presence. Imagine being blameless!

My soul clings to the dust; give me life according to your word! (Ps. 119:25)

We can identify the root of our thoughts when we look at the fruit they are producing in our lives.

“Western culture is, largely unbeknown to itself, a culture of rejection” (Dallas Willard). Rejection can be a profoundly painful and devastating experience. How can we harness our experiences of rejection to launch us into God’s purpose for our lives?

Merry Christmas, friend! When God gets what He wants the earth rejoices! What does God want for Christmas?

"Jesus came to demonstrate what God’s Kingdom is like and to make a way for us to enter into it. You see, what keeps us from entering into His Kingdom is our current life (Lk. 14:26-27). The life we inherited from our parents cannot inherit God’s Kingdom (1 Cor. 15:50). (This is why Jesus said to enter the kingdom of God you must be born again (Jn. 3:3-5).) "When we give our old life to Jesus and...

Would that we knew the goodness of King Jesus and the joy of Him ruling our hearts; surely then we would do all that we could to be completely surrendered to His reign. 

Spiritually blinded eyes cannot fathom the glory of the Lord's light. The world cannot imagine the sweetness that is devotion to King Jesus, so they distort how wonderful it is. We must protect our hearts from these lies.
