Trust, With Every Fiber of Your Being

For the past 2 Fridays I have been posting directly from the Jesus Calling devotional, like I do every year. I use the last three weeks of December to take a slight break from Seele to refuel and quiet myself from the year and the holiday rush. The voice that Sarah Young, the writer of each devotional, is writing in is the voice our Triune God- as if he is sitting across the table speaking directly to you.

The Majestic Mystery of the Incarnation

On Trial- How Many are you Snatching?

I have been writing on the topic of: "If you were on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?" We can get so consumed with the deeper questions of our faith, or simply get too busy to think about this question, and forget the basics of whether we're actually living and looking like a Christian. The topics covered in this series are: Relationship With God | Fruit of the Spirit | Orphans, Widows, Foreigners | Justice, Mercy, Walking Humbly. This is the final week in the series and I will look at topic of: "how many are you snatching from the fire?"
 

On Trial- How Many are you Snatching?

On Trial- Justice, Mercy, Walking Humbly

If you were on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? We can get so consumed with the deeper questions of our faith, or simply get too busy to think about this question, and forget the basics of whether we're actually living and looking like a Christian. This week I will look at three simple things God requires of us. These three things are examples of the evidence of what a Christian should look like.

On Trial: Orphans, Widows and Foreigners

If you were on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? We can get so consumed with the deeper questions of our faith, or simply get too busy to think about this question, and forget the basics of whether we're actually living and looking like a Christian. This week I will look at the topic of “religion that God accepts.”

On Trial: Orphans, Widows and Foreigners

On Trial- Fruit of the Spirit

If you were on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? We can get so consumed with the deeper questions of our faith or simply get too busy to think about this question, and forget the basics of whether we're actually living and looking like a Christian. This week I will look at the topic of Fruit of the Spirit. If you were on trial for being a Christian, would the evidence show that the Fruit of the Spirit are overflowing and spilling out of you?

Shifting from a Greek Mindset to a Hebrew Mindset

God is always moving and changing situations in our lives, and growing us. He wants to take us to new levels, but He won’t do all the work. We too have to do our part and shift from a Greek mindset to a Hebrew mindset.

God the Son: Mirroring Relationships

Our triune God is mighty. It can be challenging to wrap our heads around this idea of the Godhead, that God is 3 in 1. Each Person of the Godhead has His own unique role and is in relationship with the Other, and this week I aim to show how God the Son and our relationship with Him mirrors our relationship with our fellow man.

God the Son: Mirroring Relationships

God the Father

Each Person of the Godhead has His own unique role and this week I aim with my human mind to briefly unwrap "God the Father"- one of the Persons of the Godhead and how He is our ultimate Father and that our relationship with our earthly fathers mirrors our relationship with God the Father and how we see Him.

His Triune Glory

In John 17 we are reminded that Jesus prayed for us right before His unfair trial and crucifixion. In fact, He prayed for Himself, His disciples, and for all believers to come. For the next three weeks I want to cover our triune God in relation to earthly relationships.

His Triune Glory

It’s Not That He’s Mean, It’s Just That He Can’t Lie

I, you, we have encountered people who see God of the Old Testament as being a mean, murdering, and harsh God. And sure, I can understand where they’re coming from, especially if they haven’t read the whole Bible in context, with historical and linguistic analysis.

It’s not that God is mean, a murderer, and harsh. He cannot lie.

Seek His Presence, Not the Position

We as humans tend to desire a position, which brings a title, followers, influence, honor and can inflate the ego if we let it. But, what’s the use of having a position if you don’t hunger more for His presence?
