God-breathed 22: Our Advocate


The foundation of the comfort that Jesus gives is the triune nature of God.

God-breathed 21: New Life Through the Holy Spirit


We live in a time of great technology, but when it comes to the problems faced by humanity, we’ve got nothing. Humanity needs a new operating system, but where will we get it?

God-breathed 20: The Bread of Life


In a way, all of us are living in a giant Skinner box. We have various opportunities around us that we can choose to engage with or not. Some of these opportunities bring us pleasure, while others may bring us pain. …How do we decide what we should be feeding on?

God-breathed 19: God Loved & Gave


It is not God who condemns us, it is our sin that condemns us. But Jesus has taken our sins away from us and given us new life in a new ship, and with him as our captain, he will safely pilot us to the safe harbor of the wonderful future he has in store for us.

God-breathed 18: Him They Did Not See


We all have ruling thoughts in our minds, and we all use those ruling thoughts to interpret what we see going on around us and inside of us. How do we know if the ruling beliefs in our minds are correct?

God-breathed 17: The Rejected One Becomes the Cornerstone


The greatest greatness of God was disguised as an ordinary human being who came to save the world: Jesus Christ.

cornerstone, God, greatness, Jesus, love, weakness

God-breathed 16: Believing in God’s Grace


The only way that we can be truly kind, loving, generous and gracious toward the world is if we believe deep down in our hearts that God is kind, gracious, loving and generous toward us.

acceptance, God, grace, Jesus, love, shame, Zacchaeus

God-breathed 15: Shameless Grace & Heavenly Joy


As you embrace God’s amazing grace and unconditional love for you, that love and joy will shine through you, and you will be filled with joy as God’s grace touches the hearts of others and welcomes them home.

grace, Jesus, joy, love, sinner

God-breathed 14: Witnesses Clothed with Power


We immerse ourselves in God’s words and promises to us, allowing the Holy Spirit to impact our memory so that we remember what we need to remember, to impact our understanding so that we have room for resurrection life in our understanding of reality, and to impact our heart so that we believe what we need to believe about Jesus.

God-breathed 13: The Tears of Our Savior


If we do not give our time and attention to Jesus, we are not able to know him in a close, intimate way and we are not able to receive the blessings that he wants to give us. Attention is the currency of love.

attention, Jerusalem, Jesus, peace, shalom, tears
