The Fruit of the Spirit 08: Biblical Love

The first segment of the fruit of the spirit outlined in Galatians 5 is love. Really, the Christian life is all about love. Nothing is more important than that we love each other. Paul told the Corinthians the greatest of these is love! He then goes on say that love is the still more excellentContinue reading “The Fruit of the Spirit 08: Biblical Love”

God is Big, Now Start Acting Like it 10 Act Like God’s Love is Big!

God is big and God is love, so God’s love is big. It’s huge, it’s immense, it’s wonderful and glorious. We all have free access to God’s presence and when we get into the presence of God, we never walk in and find a Judgment Seat but always find a Mercy Seat. A throne ofContinue reading “God is Big, Now Start Acting Like it 10 Act Like God’s Love is Big!”

Faith Works By Love

    For years the faith movement has been telling people that “faith works by love”. It’s true, that’s how faith works, but they misunderstood “by love”, telling us that faith only works when we love. If we don’t love people, forgive people, help people, serve people, show compassion on people, help people, live forContinue reading “Faith Works By Love”

Grace People or Gracious People?

Grace can easily be just head knowledge to a series of doctrines, making youContinue reading “Grace People or Gracious People?”

Some of his comments on trusting God and not money, and putting money into context (the word money is in the Bible more than the word faith) and showing us how to relate to money was brilliant. ThenContinue reading “Abundant Supply”

Gracism!

Racism is defined as treating people differently on the basis of nationality or outward markers of ethnicity.  Still racism is an issue in the world and the church today – people are neglected, ignored, devalued because of their nationality and ethnicity.  Jesus said His vision is for His house to be a house of prayerContinue reading “Gracism!”

The Mandate for a Grace Filled, Guilt Free, New Testament Church

Arthur’s messages during our Restoring Leaders conference have really challenged me and lifted my thinking.  He is possibly the single most powerful Bible teacher in our generation (yes, I know I have said something superlative there and I have considered my thoughts and words carefully). Something he said several times was this: we have toContinue reading “The Mandate for a Grace Filled, Guilt Free, New Testament Church”
