I took this pic yesterday - it’s an oxymoronic mix of both law and grace. The law screams don’t, but grace and Truth whisper rest. Man screams. God whispers. Listen to the right voice. ❤️🔥

God the Father will never violate terms of The New Covenant for that would mean violating His own Son Jesus. For Jesus 👉 IS 👈 the covenant: 

“I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I will…

This just got me fired up. This for me is a game changer. 

As a son, I have both the car and house keys to heaven. I’ve got Papa’s key ring with the master key, and the little leather…

Changing our mind about the things of God (Greek: Metanoia) is worthless without turning (or returning) our heart and inner self towards God (Hebrew: Teshuva). 

The prodigal son changed his mind and thought life while in the pig pen…

Ever wonder where Jesus is taking you? Ever want to just get out of the car and maybe begin hitchhiking back home? 

Well, notice that when Jesus and the disciples crossed the lake, a violent storm came (Mat 8:23-34)…

Drove home today from Max's church, and my wife had her eyes closed the whole time. Which makes perfect sense given my driving, but I had a Jesus thought. 

Despite what she sees with her eyes. She fully trusts…

Faith isn't a high striker contest where we have to garner enough strength to see if we can make the bell ring. We think, if we can just hit that bell hard enough just one time - we can get…

Can I be real for a second? Yep. This might be my own Jerry Maguire moment. 

It is inexcusable to teach all sin is paid for (which it is) and to NOT say in the same exact breath that…

I had a dream the other night that was incredibly vivid, and such an amazing picture of what God does for us right in the middle of our distress. Yes. We have an enemy who seeks to steal, kill, and…

According to the scriptures, “the wages of sin is death.” It's a given spiritual law that can be suspended no more than any other laws God has put in place ... like gravity and time. 

You don't eat, you…

We are a society that both runs on and demands results. Why? If you don’t perform as promised .... you will get fired or left out, you will feel like a loser, or you will just plain look silly. 

…

I’d like to point out that the ONLY verses that imply you CAN lose your salvation are written to unbelieving Jewish people (Hebrews 3:12) and to false prophets or teachers who Jude says are UNGODLY unbelievers and NOT filled with…

I have a new term. Yep. I’m a Centrist. 

For a conservative believer, I’m too centered on what the written word says. 

And. 

For a progressive believer, I’m too centered on what the written word says. 

…

Remember. 

Many who cheered in praise “Hosanna” - just a few hours later chanted “Crucify!” 

Truly. 

• Learn the scriptures. 
• Learn how to hear Him inside you. 
• Learn how to stand up for what you believe when others…

As a New Yorker – I’ve been in Texas for almost 30 years and I can delare one thing as fact. Texans have no idea what a good bagel is. 

A month ago we found a new tiny bagel…

A love letter to my wife (I should really get on that), will always read far different in context than a letter written to the phone company laying out the case for more attention, better service, and the state of…

Yes, the Pharisees very often challenged Jesus and they tried to trap Him in stuff. 

But I soooooooo love the fact that Jesus didn’t just sit back and take it, He would very much intentionally mess with the heads…

When Abraham was told by God to circumcise HIMSELF ... he did it immediately! When Abraham was told to offer his son Isaac, he had to walk 3 days with teenage Isaac to Mt Moriah. 

3 days to think…

Will be mocked 👉 don’t care. 

On this New Year’s Day, here is what I’m reflecting on. Through faith and obedience that which ONLY God can do. 

This year I’m believing God for the impossible to be possible. 

I gave my heart to Jesus?? Jesus lives in my heart??

Technically, Jesus has given to me His OWN heart. In Christ, I am a new creation with the throngs of His very heart. I didn't give up me…
