Faith - Hey Salty Lady

God intended you do more than dangle in a crusty cocoon. New life awaits! Get thee transformed, people. Pronto!

We tend to think the stories of the Bible are A) just stories… and B) stories that happened once a long time ago, but never again. Nay, nay weary traveler. Here’s a story for you…

Don’t convolute a litmus test for what is Christianity with sentiment or kindness. A fruit of the Spirit, or from the Vine, is NOT THE VINE. 

Close proximity to the vine does not a branch make you. In-ness, not nearness, Friend. Come see the difference.

We are the generation dictators desired, without values enough to resist, without history enough to defend, without truth enough to reason… without conscience.

Welcome, fools and failures! God knows our potential and He called us anyway. We are exactly the wrong kinda stuff He desires. And there’s more good news…

Damar Hamlin, stopped and starting hearts… miracles on football fields should look like harvests in spiritual fields. What will we do with this miracle?

Given enough time and tinsel, anyone can “make merry.” But if making “Mary” is our goal for the new year, we may have some work to do.

Friend. Take the picture. Mark the occasion even when the occasion is grief, loss, or loneliness. Ask someone to take a picture of you.

What if I told you compromise or a convenient lack of conviction may go further to secure our earthly interests, but the inconsistency it requires damages the Gospel?

Spiritual disciplines aren’t just for grown-ups. You want wise and mature adult Believers? Start training Believers to be wise and mature when they are children.

The wise men weren’t the only ones to see the star. They were just the ones WILLING TO FOLLOW IT.

Having trouble coming up with gift ideas for your family? Could it be because they don’t truly need anything… or because the stuff they need CAN’T BE BOUGHT?

You can turn this thing around starting today! And you can start with high expectations, lofty goals, and faith that gives a confidence the world can’t take away.

This is the season of grand loving gestures and unreciprocated generosity!! (Just ask Jesus.)
