Lavish: To Expend or Bestow Profusely
Several years ago, I met a man who changed my life. The first time I sat down with him for breakfast, he offered to send me to Israel. I didn’t know him.
Confidence at His Coming
When it came to my mess-ups as a kid, there were what I’d call misdemeanors and felonies.
Abide
Abiding is one of those spiritual ideas that we talk about in church, but we don’t always know what it means practically. What does it mean to abide in Christ?
Gullible
I once bought a stereo system out of the backseat of some guy’s car. I know. Don’t say it. It wasn’t one of my finer moments.
A Good Reminder
We all forget things. Sometimes, we forget important things. I’ve wondered to myself if that’s one of the reasons Scripture so frequently reminds us of what we already know.
Cotton Candy
Cotton candy is fun to look at. It’s fluffy like a colorful cloud you carry around on a stick. Who hasn’t looked up to the sky and thought, “It sure would be nice if I could dye that cloud blue or pink, dip it in some sugar, wrap it around a stick, and eat it.”
We Won!
We won! That’s right, “We.” I didn’t play in the game. Technically (if you want to be technical), I wasn’t on the team. But since my team won, we won.
I Know Someone Famous
I always thought it would be cool to know someone famous. If I knew a famous singer, I could get backstage passes to their concert.
Forgiven
You are forgiven. Write that down. Circle it. Put a star next to it. Those are beautiful, life-giving words that we all need to hear.
What’s Love Got to Do with It?
Apparently, love has everything to do with being a believer—it’s one of the signs of assurance for the Christian.
Follow Jesus:
Humble Servant Exalted King
Do you wish you experienced more joy during challenging times? Have you ever struggled with your own spiritual growth? Do you ever wrestle with anxiousness and contentment? Did you know the New Testament book of Philippians addresses each of these questions? Walk with me for 30 days as we travel through Philippians seeking to follow Jesus, the humble servant and exalted king.
Vast: Experiencing the Inexhaustible Love of God
God changes people. He does it all the time. Even now He is changing you and me. One of the primary means that God uses to change us is His Word. I invite you to journey with me for 31 days through the book of 1 John. Read, reflect, and respond to the vastness of God’s inexhaustible love. “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!”
