Love is Calling

Are You Struggling with Sin?

Do you struggle with sinful actions, and can't seem to stop doing what you're doing? Going to church every time the door is open, memorizing Scripture, tithing, and looking and sounding the part isn't working? Jesus said that the purpose for His coming was to proclaim, to preach the Kingdom of God. Why? Because it's the vital key to a life of freedom and victory and to peace and rest, by grace through faith. Check out this latest 10 minute episode of Saddle Up!

What God Hates!

We know Papa Yahweh, our great heavenly Father, to be Love. In His love for us, he is protective of us. Seeing us as the apple of His eye he takes it seriously when one divides His body and sows division and discord among the members. None of us have a lock on it, and let's stop pretending we do, and stop allowing that prideful, self-centered mindset to divide the body of Christ. He isn't turning a blind eye to it. In fact, the Word says that He hates it!

Who's Coming to Dinner?

The Lord's Supper is way more than a ritual thimble of juice or wine and a little unleavened wafer! The Lord's Supper is when we commune together with our head in a meal unlike any meal we can imagine. Who is your family? Does it just consist of those in your fellowship, or denomination? There are those who won't take communion with you unless you belong to their church. But! There is only one church and it belongs to Jesus! Join me in 1st Corinthians Chapter 11 For this latest episode of Saddle Up!

Do Not Judge Your Brother!

Are you a judge of your brother? To judge our brother or sister we have to first become a judge of the law. We have to determine right from wrong, and that is a very subjective endeavor at best. And what is our standard? Is it the law contained in the Bible? Do you keep the law perfectly, every tenet of it? Join me in this latest version of Saddle Up!

Led by The Spirit - Not Under the Law

In Romans 13:8, Paul writes, "he who loves another has fulfilled the law." And in Romans 13:10, "love is the fulfillment of the law." So, does that mean that if you say you love another you've fulfilled the law? Maybe, but not necessarily. Paul writes in Galatians 5:18. "if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law." Paul includes that love fulfills the law and being led of the Spirit assures us we're not under the law. The two are tied together in Galatians 5:22. ""But the fruit of the Spirit is love..." We must be born of the Spirit from above in order to bear the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, and that fulfills the law!

Galatians 2:11-17 - Jews and Gentiles live in Christ by Faith and not by Law

Continuing Verse by Verse, through Paul's letter to the Galatians we begin to see the problem of the false gospel that attempts to include being circumcised and keeping the law of Moses to the finished work of Jesus on the cross. The result of the false gospel is that the gentiles had to be a part of Israel through circumcision, and submit to keeping the law of Moses in order to have access to God. It meant being subject to the council of the Sanhedrin as the authority to teach them how to walk the accepted religious walk. Even today there are those in Messianic Judaism, and the Hebrew Roots Movement (HRM) who believe that one must be grafted into Israel and keep the law. It was a false gospel then, and it still is. Join me as we continue to look at the Letter to the Galatians.

Aim For the Mark!

Some say they don't sin because they are born again. But John writes that if we say we have not sin we're a liar and the Truth is not in us! John also writes that "whoever is born of God does not sin." What is it? Are you twisted in knots, worried about your salvation? What was John really meaning in these, seemingly contradictory statements? Listen to this short and to the point podcast and be encouraged in your walk of faith.

Get Out of Your Box!

God is Spirit, Jesus said, plainly! He is the faithful witness through Jesus Christ. If God gives us gifts, do we trust Him? Or are fearful based on past experiences, or what a man has said in a denominational doctrine, or your own preconceptions? It's time for us to get out of the box we've placed ourselves in and destroy the box once for all, and live this life in complete abandon and relentless pursuit of Jesus Christ, and trust in the Spirit who is God!

Don't Be Afraid of The Wolves!

We're being sent out on The Number One Mission of all Time! We're sent by our Heavenly Papa and The Captain of our Faith, Jesus! We have been left behind enemy lines and the wolves are all around us, but we serve a great God and He will deal with the wolves. Let's just press on as He leads us! Join me for this episode of Saddle Up! and let's press on!

New Microphones! Let's Talk About Jesus!

Hey everyone! God is so good! I learned I had a much sought after Ludwig snare drum taking up space in my home studio and I put it up for sale and it sold in a day! I got enough money to purchase two Rode Podmics, cables, and desktop mic stands. I'm ready to schedule interviews! Let's highlight what the Spirit is doing and what He is saying as we submit to Him for unity. We'll be speaking the mind of Christ if we're yielded and it will be of love and mercy and grace and peace, being fully rested on His finished work being realized in each of us! Join me in this episode as I spend a little time in Psalm One!
