Do Christians Have to Be Happy? (Fun Word Friday)

Post author By Higher Things

No Comments on Do Christians Have to Be Happy? (Fun Word Friday)

God made you the way that you are and put you in the place He put you because He loves you. He doesn’t need you to be someone else for Him to love you. Baptism doesn’t change your personality, it makes you a new creation. There’s plenty to repent of within us being us. But the only thing that saves us is not how happy we are, but Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

How Forgiving Should We Be? (Bible Study Thursday)

Post author By Higher Things
Post date May 7, 2020
No Comments on How Forgiving Should We Be? (Bible Study Thursday)

Jesus forgives every sin in His suffering and death. So, what about us? Being in Him, being loved by Him, being forgiven ourselves…we should gladly forgive those who sin against us too. If we forgive with Jesus’s forgiveness, then there’s no end of the mercy, grace, and forgiveness we have for others. Pray for your enemies and for help to forgive them.

How Forgiving is Jesus? (Fun Word Friday)

Post author By Higher Things
Post date May 1, 2020
No Comments on How Forgiving is Jesus? (Fun Word Friday)

When reading Matthew 12:32 we worry about blaspheming the Holy Spirit and committing the “unforgivable sin.” But verse 31 says that Jesus forgives all sin! God forgives ALL sins in the suffering and death of His Son. Outside of Him, reject Him, if you don’t believe in Him…you pay the price for your sins. And in Him, every sin is forgiven.

It’s OK to Not be a Pastor (What’s UP? Wednesday)

Post author By Higher Things
Post date April 29, 2020
No Comments on It’s OK to Not be a Pastor (What’s UP? Wednesday)

It’s ok to be a sheep. God saves sinners, not just religious people. It’s easy to start thinking that the more we do at church, with church, around church…the more saved we are. And then we start to despise the ones who only show up on Sundays. There’s nothing wrong with serving the church, it’s a good thing to do. But it doesn’t save you. Only Jesus saves you.

The Shepherd, the Door, and Salvation (Lectionary Monday)

No Comments on The Shepherd, the Door, and Salvation (Lectionary Monday)

Jesus it the door. He’s the entrance to eternal life. Is He REALLY the door? Yes! Is He a symbolic door? No. He’s the one that you enter through to get eternal life. The Good Shepherd stands in the gap of the sheep pen and gives up His life for the sheep. In Him being the door, you are saved. Entering through that Door, you have eternal life.

Guilty About Missing Church because of the ‘Rona? (Fun Word Friday)

No Comments on Guilty About Missing Church because of the ‘Rona? (Fun Word Friday)

You’re trying to be a good citizen, lower the curve, love your neighbor. But you’re missing church, too. Feeling a little bit guilty about that? We don’t want to say, “Oh, it’s alright, I have extenuating circumstances…” We always have “extenuating circumstances” for the things we do. Don’t try to excuse yourself. Just confess your sins, and receive forgiveness.

The Lord’s Supper and the Cross (What’s UP? Wednesday)

Post author By Higher Things
Post date April 8, 2020
No Comments on The Lord’s Supper and the Cross (What’s UP? Wednesday)

The cross is where your salvation was won. The Supper is where your salvation is delivered. The sacrament delivers the cross to you. The remembrance of the Supper is not that you remember the cross but, that in the delivery of the Body and Blood of Jesus, God remembers the cross. We need God to deal with us in the suffering and death of His Son for us.
