What to do with the Rest of Your Life (What’s UP? Wednesdays)

Post author By Higher Things
Post date February 5, 2020

Figuring out what to do with the rest of your life can be very stressful! So use God’s Law to eliminate all the sinful options…but then remember the Gospel, that Christ has set you free to serve your neighbor. Whatever path makes the most sense for you to follow — after you’ve heard the Law of God — is followed in freedom because of Jesus.

Answering Apparent Contradictions (Bad Theology Tuesday) – A Higher Things® Video Short

Post author By Higher Things
Post date February 4, 2020

What do you do when you have a friend challenge you with a(n apparent) contradiction from the Bible? First thing — actually READ the passage in question. Read it in context, with the verses before and after it. This will solve the vast majority of “contradictions.” Still stumped? Call or text your pastor. He’s the one God put in your life to help you with questions like this.

Transfiguration: Shut Your Mouth! (Lectionary Monday) – A Higher Things® Video Short

Post author By Higher Things
Post date February 3, 2020

As The Rock says, “Know your role and shut your mouth, Peter!” Hear Him. Stop talking, and listen. Stop thinking about God the way that you think about God and let God be God for you. Let the Scriptures speak to you. And what the Scriptures are all about — what this is all about is what’s coming up in the Lenten season. Jesus is going to die for you.

Fun Word Friday – Name It and Claim It (A Higher Things® Video Short)

Post author By Higher Things
Post date January 31, 2020

The problem with “Name It and Claim It” and prayers, is that we turn the gift into a work in order to control God, and make Him be the God we want Him to be. But we forget that because of Jesus, He’s our Father and we are His children. Because of Jesus, God is happy to hear our prayers. Because of Jesus, everything He does, He does for our good.

Theology TuesThursday – Jesus Takes Orders from a Centurion? (A Higher Things® Video Short)

Post author By Higher Things
Post date January 30, 2020

Jesus is ordered by the Centurion to heal his servant. And Jesus does it! And Jesus marvels at the Centurion’s faith. Not the ordering part, but knowing that Jesus is such a God that His words do what they say. Faith is not that the guy orders Jesus but that he knows Jesus’s words do, deliver, and gift what they say — for you and for your salvation.

What’s UP? Wednesday – Sports Superstitions (A Higher Things® Video Short)

Post author By Higher Things
Post date January 29, 2020

The superstitious things we do when it comes to sports don’t affect the game. They don’t work! Now, if they calm you down a little bit…whatever. But they don’t work. The One that works is your Lord, Jesus. The One Who saves is Christ. The One Who is going to be for you if your team wins (or loses) is Jesus. And He’s always doing good for you.

HT Video Shorts – Kobe Bryant and What We Learned

Post author By Rev. George Borghardt
Post date January 28, 2020

What we learned about Kobe’s death is what we learned about his life. Each day is a gift from God. Live each day loving those around you, cherishing those times, as if it could be your last — it really could be. Don’t think you have time to reconcile with those around you because you may not. Cherish the gift of life, the opportunity to love, and be at peace.

Higher Things Video Shorts – St. Titus and Doing the Law for Others

Post author By Rev. George Borghardt
Post date January 27, 2020

Titus was a young Christian who followed Paul around on his journeys and ended up in Crete as a bishop. Being a Greek, Titus was not circumcised. But how was his situation different from Timothy who did end up being circumcised? It’s all about love. When you’re free, you can do things freely, not to justify ourselves but for the sake of others.

St. Timothy – what he teaches us about pastors – A Higher Things® Video Short

Post author By Rev. George Borghardt
Post date January 24, 2020

A pastor is not a big deal. The big deal is the words he says. Your pastor could be unseemly, he could be old, he could be not very innovative, he might be young. But you should listen to him because of the Gospel he preaches. Be about hearing the Gospels. Pastors should be about preaching the Gospel because the Gospel is what saves.

Bible Study Thursday: Fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23) – A Higher Things® Video Short

Post author By Rev. George Borghardt
Post date January 23, 2020

Against the fruit which flows from faith, there is no condemnation, no must, no law. Against love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, or self-control, against serving your neighbor – there is no law. The Word of God is active in the faithful, and it produces good fruit.
