What’s Wrong with my love

My pastors are teaching a series on the 9 fruit of the Spirit. Today the topic was love. We were challenged to read I Corinthians 13 daily. As I was doing this tonight another comment from the sermon jumped out. "If we are not exhibiting the 9 fruit in our lives, something is wrong with our love." I admit to being a little self-righteous in my thinking about love. I "love" people, genuinely. I haven't met anyone that I dislike. I don't hate anyone. So I thought I was doing pretty good in this area. Then in the sermon, the preacher pointed out that love, God's defined love is Agape love. It is defined in the scriptures and I fall so incredibly short.

Don’t be satisfied with a glimpse, or even a taste if you can experience the fullness

I was talking with a friend recently about the difference between receiving something for your self from God versus reading something or hearing it.   She said that she said knew something, but was still struggling in that area of her life.  I was sitting in the drive thru line waiting to grab food, as I...

Imagine

Reading through my church reading plan I came upon familiar scriptures.  As always, when I really get in to the Word, I saw things from a different perspective than I have ever seen or heard before.  I love how God's Word is truly living, if it wasn't there would never be new ideas as we...

Mention me to Pharaoh, so he might let me out of this place.  For I was kidnapped from my homeland, the land of the Hebrews, and now I’m here in prison, but I did nothing to deserve it.” For two...

The fear that keeps me from stepping out

I hear a lot about people failing to live up to their full potential, failing to step out in to their true purpose.  Usually it is tied to fear of failure or fear of rejection.  I have tried to say that has been what holds me back, I mean if I couldn't identify it, it... Continue Reading →

Who are we missing?

1 Corinthians 3:6 (NKJV) I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.   God awoke me with another vivid dream, which left me worried.  I knew God was speaking to me about something deeper than what I was seeing.  I woke up again repenting and praying God would redeem the time. I work in a... Continue Reading →
