2 Corinthians 5:14-15 (NASB) 14 For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; 15 and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. We know how Christ […]

I think the options are really clear, either live overwhelmed or overshadowed. When Gabriel announced to Mary that she would give birth to The Christ she asked “How” since she had not been with a man. This was impossible and I’m sure she felt overwhelmed. All of us know what it is like for God

I woke up ‘In Christ’ this morning. Did you? If you are a Christian, you did, and that’s the truest reality about you, as you start your day. No matter what circumstances, and situations fill your day today, the more important thing to remember as you face them all, is that you will face them

Hebrews 12:29 tell us that God is a consuming fire. The language of that verse is one of continual action. A fire, that is strong enough, is very hungry. It will consume everything combustible near it. If the fire is strong enough it will even melt hardened things like glass, asphalt, and steel. S.S.8 tells

Jn 13:1, Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. 12 So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined
Col.1:.19 For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, 20 and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in the heavens. 21 And although you were formerly alienated
John 15:9 “Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. 1John 2:3 By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a
Eph. 3:17, May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, 18 That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of
There is a line in the song “You won’t relent” that says “You won’t relent until you have it all.” It’s kind of a cadence that is repeated again, and again throughout the song. I can honestly say this has been the cadence of my life, and I assume yours too. If there has been

Jesus died for the world, but He lived for the one. He gave His life for the world, but He gave Himself to the one; one person at a time. He went to the Cross for the world, but He went out of His way for the one. This is the expansiveness of the love
