The Realness of the Sacred Scriptures – Gal 6:11 (Bible Study Thursday)

 

 

This verse shows the realness of God breathing words through His apostles — even a frail, old Paul can’t see and has to write in giant letters. The Scriptures are the inspired word of God, written by men, as a gift. When you read the Scriptures, you’re reading God’s own Words, delivered by His servants. They were actual human beings, real people in a real time.

A Christmas Break from the Quarantine (What’s UP? Wednesday)

 

 

In a world where everything is falling apart, we have comfort and hope, because “…no words are impossible with God”. God announced to a virgin a reality that changed the universe, an impossible Word that she was with child, a Child born to save. And into our suffering, fear, dread, and loneliness, He says, “I’m going to save you. I’ve sent my Son to save you.”

Viruses, Church & What to Think in the Midst of Fear (Headline Lowdown)

Your church is going to take steps to keep you safe. Be wise, wash your hands and take precautions to serve your neighbors. Pray for those who are suffering and and those who are sick. Pray for those who are afraid. And receive from Jesus — from His Word, and from His Body and Blood. In a world that seems to have gone crazy, be confident, trust in Him.

Triskaidekaphobia – Should You Be Scared? (Fun Word Friday)

The thing you need to ask when about superstitions is: Is Jesus alive? Did He die for you? And did He rise again? Because Christ died and rose from the dead, that means that God is good for you every day. No matter what happens in your life, it’s going to work out just fine. You are the baptized. Jesus is going to carry you through, one way or another.

Temptation of Jesus is about JC for you (Lectionary Monday)

The devil doesn’t care about your little, piddly sins. He’ll drag you into them, sure. But that’s not his big concern. The big concern of the devil, the thing that he most wants you NOT to do is believe that Jesus died for your sins. He wants to get you to trust in something other than Jesus. And here, he wants Jesus to be some other god than the One who dies for you.

Don’t Give God the Bird – Galatians 6:7-8 (Bible Study Thursday)

God is not to be treated like He’s stupid or a bad driver on the interstate. If you sow according to your flesh by the Law and depending on your works, it’ll reap destruction. But when you sow according to the Spirit by faith in the Son of God, it’ll reap — from the Spirit — eternal life. You get what you earn, or you’re given by the Spirit what Jesus earned.

Freedom…in Lent? (Whats UP Wednesday)

Lent isn’t about you. It’s about Jesus. Turn your focus from yourself and the things you do for Jesus. Sure, we should have that focus every day of the year. But we don’t. So we have a season to help us do that. Lenten fasting and disciplines are great. But do them so that you get yourself out of the way, so Lent can be about watching Jesus go to the cross for you.

God Isn’t Fair – Thank God! (Bad Theology Tuesday)

The truth is, we think we’re good people…but we’re not. We’re self-centered, we’re unfaithful, we’re…not good. If God really gave us what we deserved, it’d be a real hot mess. We are saved by the Unfairness of God. He doesn’t treat us as we deserve. He gives us forgiveness, life, and salvation…His unmerited favor. That He is good to us in this life at all is unfair.

The Workers in the Vineyard are Given Salvation (Lectionary Monday)

The parable of the Workers in the Vineyard makes it clear that salvation is a gift given by God, not something that we earn and receive as payment. We are not saved by what we do or don’t do, but because we have a good God who gives good gifts. It is all about gifts! And it’s all on Jesus.
