The Way of the Foolish

, , , ,

As for me? I choose the way of the foolish, even though it runs contrary to what has long been taught in church. I choose to proclaim a message from God that screams He’s mad about you, not mad at you, and nothing: the way you vote, what country you’re from, or anything else, can change that fact.

Space For the Spirit

, , , , ,

As Christians, we’re taught to be people of our word and to be true to what we say - my word is my bond. While the sentiment is admirable, this can also paint us into a corner where by being true to our word we are unable to follow the Spirit. So how should the believer proceed? Find out!

The Dividing Line

, ,

After the cross, there is a major difference in how we must read and interpret the Bible. If we carry over our Old Testament reading of the scripture into the new, we’ll constantly misinterpret and misrepresent what it actually is that Jesus was endeavoring to teach us in the scripture and the message of Christianity as a whole.

The Upside Down Kingdom

,

Society tells us that the way to get ahead is to push others out of the way, step on the little guy, and do whatever it is that you can to succeed. Jesus tells us that the true way to advance in the Kingdom of God is to be one who serves others, who recognizes they are totally dependent on God for all of their life.

Context Is For Kings

, ,

While the scripture refers to freedom, it is not referring to our freedoms as Americans, our ability to defend our rights, freedom to demand the government make rules to protect the Church, or anything along those lines…it is referring to our freedom in Christ to love better than we have before.
