Following Jesus is a dance with God. It’s learning the timing of two vital steps – wait and move. These steps define the heroes of the Bible.
Obedience: The Unsexy Power Generator
The unsexy truth about Christianity is obedience. Obedience is what generates power in my life that changes the world for good.
Discontent? Tell me what you want.
Difficulty in life lead to complaints and discontent. The question is what will truly satisfy me, and will I wait for God to come through?
Power Over Fear? Just Keep Moving.
We all have an inner critic using fear to drive us toward bad decisions. The answer to quieting that critic is faith. We can increase our faith by showing up and moving scared.
Submission: Since when is Meek + Mild Powerful?
The meek get a bad rap, but do we have it wrong? Meek means tamed or better yet channeled strength. Submission to God is power and beauty.
You’re not blind, but can you see?
There is a difference between having sight and being able to see. If you see Jesus for who he really is, there is only one option – worship.
Jesus in your boat.
Jesus has called you up to greater things. Those things are probably exciting but scary too. Good news, Jesus is in your boat!
3 simple steps to knowing God.
Most people make knowing God too complicated. You can know God.
Joseph: better over bitter
I have agency over my feelings about God, myself and others. I can choose to be angry and bitter, or I can choose to believe God is doing something better.
Judah: It’s you and me.
It’s never too late for the unrighteous to become righteous – no matter what evil you’ve done. There is always the opportunity for redemption. Sometimes it’s just a long road there.
