What Does God Promise When I Obey?
What are the promises when I obey God? I’ve never preached on this portion of Scripture except when I’ve shared this message. It’s a powerful one to consider. Deuteronomy 28:1-13 (NLT) “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully keep all his commands that I am giving you today, the Lord your God [...]
Does God Want Us to Have Wealth?
Does God want us to have wealth? We can’t start this discussion without remembering that if we live in Canada or the US, we’re in the top 2% of the world’s wealthiest people. Don’t think that because you don’t have a million dollars you aren’t wealthy. Not a lot of people in the world have [...]
Grace is For Sinners – RevTrev Reviews
Grace Is for Sinners is a book (and website) by Serena Woods. It’s the story of an insider’s firsthand account of the misguided use of church disciple and the devastating effects on the people it’s supposed to serve. I’ve decided to give video reviews of books because of the stack I’ve read and haven’t had [...]
Should I Be Hungry for God?
Should I be hungry for God? I came across this verse in Scripture and it jumped out as one that we push off into eternity. The problem I have with doing that is that the context doesn’t seem to suggest we need to leave it until we die. Jesus was saying some difficult things that [...]
Is God Fair – Part 2
Is God Fair? I started answering this question in a previous post. Why is it on the one hand we’re born in sin (Psalm 51:5) and on the other we can confess with our mouth “Jesus is Lord” and believe in our heart God raised Him from the dead and be saved (Romans 10:9)? Is [...]
Is God Fair – Part 1
I love answering questions people ask me on this blog or on Twitter. I’m not saying I have the full or complete answer ever, but I do know I have more questions than most people have time to think about. A few days ago, someone asked me this on Twitter. I’ve just been able to [...]
Love: Do Everything In It – Day 40
Truth: We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion–how can God’s love be in that [...]
Peace is the Proof of Your Authority – Day 39
Truth: Don’t be intimidated in any way by your enemies. This will be a sign to them that they are going to be destroyed, but that you are going to be saved, even by God himself. Philippians 1:28 (New Living Translation) Thought: When God places us as His salt and light in an environment that [...]
Remembering Testimony – Day 33
Truth: “Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” Genesis 9:16 (New International Version) Thought: In ancient times, a sign of a covenant was the one making the promise would turn the bow around so [...]
I Am Loved – Day 20
Truth: O LORD, God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and obey his commands, Nehemiah 1:5 (New International Version) Thought: Most people never see this in me because I’m socially bold, but I am really rather shy. I get my energy when I’m [...]
