Love Is All You’ll Find
November 8th, 2007Categories: God's VIEWS
We know the love that God has for us, and we trust that love.
1 John 4:16
Water must be wet. A fire must be hot. You can’t take the wet out of water and still have water. You can’t take the heat out of fire and still have fire.
In the same way, you can’t take the love out of [God]…and still have Him exist. For he was….and is….Love.
Probe deep within him. Explore every corner. Search every angle. Love is all you will find. Go to the beginning of every decision he has made and you’ll find it. Go to the end of every story he has told and you’ll see it.
Love.
No bitterness. No evil. No cruelty. Just Love. Flawless love. Passionate love. Vast and pure love.
He is Love.

A Heart Like His
November 3rd, 2007Categories: God's VIEWS
From this time on we do not think of anyone as the world does.2 Corinthians 5:16
Ask God to help you have his eternal view of the world. His view of humanity is starkly simple. From his perspective every person is either:
Entering through the small gate or the wide gate. Matthew 7: 13-14
Heaven called or hell bound. Mark 16: 15-16

It Is The Gift Of God
October 30th, 2007Categories: God's VIEWS
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and not that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast.
Ephesians 2: 8–9
I truly believe that salvation is a gift from God. The two most important words in that beautiful passage from God’s word is grace and faith. You see grace is God’s part, and faith is our part. Grace can be described as the unmerited favor of God. What about faith? What is faith? How do we get this faith? Read the rest of this entry »

God’s Faithfulness
October 27th, 2007Categories: God's VIEWS
My God will use his wonderful riches in Christ Jesus to give you everything you need
Philippians 4:19
God’s faithfulness has never depended on the faithfulness of his children. He is faithful even when we aren’t. When we lack courage, he doesn’t. He has made a history out of using people in spite of people.

A Gentle Lamb
October 26th, 2007Categories: God's VIEWS
Where God’s love is, there is no fear, because God’s perfect love drives out fear.1 John 4:18
A lot of us live with a hidden fear that God is angry at us. Somewhere, sometime, some Sunday school class or some television show convinced us that God has a whip behind his back, a paddle in his back pocket, and he’s going to nail us when we’ve gone too far.
No concept could be more wrong! Our Savior’s Father is very fond of us and only wants to share his love with us. Read the rest of this entry »

No Secrets From God
October 25th, 2007Categories: God's VIEWS
If anyone belongs to Christ, there is a new creation. The old things have gone; everything is made new.2 Corinthians 5:17
Have you been there? Have you felt the ground of conviction give away beneath your feet? The ledge crumbles, your eyes widen, and down you go. Poof!
Now what do you do?…When we fall, we can dismiss it. We can deny it. We can distort it. Or we can deal with it…. Read the rest of this entry »

What Heaven Holds
October 24th, 2007Categories: God's VIEWS
There is joy in the presence of the angels of God when one sinner changes his heart and life.
Luke 15:10
Why do Jesus and His angels rejoice over one repenting sinner? Can they see something we can’t? Do they know something we don’t? Absolutely. They know what heaven holds….. Read the rest of this entry »
