Friendship With Our Maker

We are not our own-we are just a part of Jesus

We are to give ourselves to Jesus as a living sacrifice once and for all. We’re too preoccupied with ourselves, our rights, wishes and desires.

Our victory over fear in our lives stems from the fact that we are a part of Jesus who has overcome all anxiety and fear

Who do you really treat as your Father? Have you died to all the world knew you as? Are you walking in the glorious liberated presence of your Father?

Beside Ourselves

A lot of our difficulties come from the fact that we think we must do something to please God So, we undertake, we rule and we operate, all without His help.

How do you find relief from a difficult time? Is it friends or treats for momentary happiness? Is there a lasting way to find joy in those times?

Give us this day our daily bread. Living life in the present means God will provide what you need today. Do you believe you have enough?

Loneliness is unreality because you are part of the eternal son of God. You were made in him. He feels for you just as he feels for his arm.

Prayer is mostly a love affair of two hearts coming together, yours and God’s. It’s there that the peace, joy, and harmony comes that God longs for.

“Christ in you” (Galatians 2:20) is not a metaphor; it is meant to be a reality. Christ lives in us when we take time daily to be quiet and hear His voice.

We may live like we are the master and commander of our lives – but we know we didn’t make ourselves. Who did and what does He think?

It’s one thing to get a heart transplant in the hospital, but how do we get the new heart God has for us?

No matter where we are or what situation we find ourselves in, God will not let anything happen to us that he does not include in his plan.

Often we’re caught up with what we’re doing, what we think we should be doing or what we think our leaders should have us be doing. We’re busy doers.

When you wake in the morning, are your first thoughts anxious ones, wondering what the day will be like?

Karl Barth the German theologian says that sloth (laziness) — is sin! Why would he say that?

Shakespeare built Globe theatre for his many plays. He had a purpose to express himself. Our purpose comes from an intimate relationship with our Lord Jesus.

Jesus Before Time and Space

Few of us are genius’s who will make major medical breakthroughs or the next big tech discovery. Does that mean we have nothing to offer?

Will you decide if you’re going to live for your own satisfaction — or if from now on it will be “For me to live is Christ?”

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Is it possible to live a life filled with joy and energy? Where does this joy come from?

Life has many surprises. For many years our minds, emotions and wills have been a slave to the body. We need to be re-made, how can this change be made?

We can be miserly and take every penny for ourselves, or we can give generously, Let’s remember, give and it will be given to you.

Every problem, every drunk beating his wife and children, every failure of ours has been resolved in Jesus death and resurrection.

It is not what WE do that causes life to go as it does. We exist only to continue to express Christ’s Spirit in our world.

We treat life and our family and friends as though we are the center of the universe. But that is unreality. Reality is that we are part of Christ.
