As I mentioned in my last post (that happened to break a 4+ year blog silence), The Ice-Breaker Article: When Beliefs Become Your Own, these past few years I've spent re-examining my beliefs. And have arrived back at Jesus once again. But how that happened, especially these past three years I've been sober, is a... Continue Reading →
How the Truth Sets Us Free
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32 NIV) This is a common saying among many believers and non-believers alike. I've used it many times. Though, to be honest, I just thought it sounded good...and spiritual. You know, Jesus said it, so it must mean something. But I... Continue Reading →
What God Enjoys Most (Part II of the Enjoying God Series)
In Scripture, we, the church, are described in several different phrases: the body of Christ, the ekklesia, the assembly, fellowship of the Firstborn, and a few others. But one particular phrase I’ve kind-of always had a hard time with (up until recently) was Bride of Christ, or the Wife of the Lamb. Namely, because I... Continue Reading →
Powdered Creamer and Instant Potatoes: God’s Grace and Sufficiency
Welcome back to the All Things in Christ blog! And welcome all new readers. I hope you’ll be blessed by the following words and the words I’ve written in time’s past. I’ve been away from this blog for some years now and that is because I have been away from the Lord for some years now,... Continue Reading →
Conviction vs. Guilt: Is there a difference?
Conviction and guilt often get placed into the same basket, along with shame. But do they belong together? I don't think they do. Guilt is a method of control, no matter what form it may take. It is used by people to convince or drive people into doing, being, or saying what they think is... Continue Reading →
Guilt, Shame, and Panic: Are they justified?
“How dangerous a master human emotion is!” ― Watchman Nee We've all been there: you wake on Saturday after sleeping in a bit from a hard week at work. You wake up, grab some coffee, maybe spend some time with Jesus for awhile, and realize you have nothing to do for the day (or you just... Continue Reading →
Book Review: “The Community Life of God” by Milt Rodriguez
First I'd like to start this review off by introducing you to the man behind the book, Milt Rodriguez. I first met Milt and his wife, Mary, in Florida a couple of years ago. I had the pleasure of spending some time with Milt and Mary in their home (when they lived here) and their... Continue Reading →
What is Needed in Our Time–It may not be what you think…
I think there is something very essential and valuable missing for many of God's people in my generation. It is the greatest gift ever given to mankind and something that can be attained by any and all believers in Christ. Not only can it be attained, but you and I were brought into His glorious Kingdom for... Continue Reading →
Independently Dependent
As followers of Christ, we are both dependent and independent. We are also independently dependent. What do I mean by that? It's simple, really, but easily missed or forgotten. First and foremost we are completely dependent upon God (or at least we should be). I know for me, I can't seem to wake up in... Continue Reading →
Living by Christ’s Life
I am really happy about all the comments I received on that last post. All were good ideas, but I noticed a common theme: Jesus Christ. We can never exhaust His riches, especially with mere words typed into a computer (lol). I also noticed another theme: to write what the Lord has been revealing and... Continue Reading →
