Love is Calling

The Law is Bondage

We continue in Galatians 2 cross references in the Book of The Romans. Paul's writings, in full context,  make it clear that the law is not of faith and by being under it and focusing on it to do it keeps us from the grace of God. Join me in this episode as we continue our verse by verse study.

Look in The Mirror - Take Stock!

Just because we are no longer under the law, but in grace, doesn't mean we can do what we want to do. God is the Spirit and He is Love. He loved us enough to send Jesus to die a cruel death on the cross in our place. He rose again, ascended to the Father and sent God the Spirit to live in us. We are weak in the flesh, but made strong in the Spirit through our union with Jesus - We bear fruit of the Spirit to the Father. It's LOVE! Love of God, for God and for people! All by faith! Examine yourself to see if you are in the faith!

Life is Short and Then We Die!

Life is short! When I was younger it didn't really cross my mind. But now, at 69, seeing people I've known for years passing away, including our oldest daughter, the realization of just how short life is in unavoidable. Life is short and then we die! Then what? While we see the world we live in getting worse, the best is still to come! AND those who have gone before.... well... we will be there with them, and with Jesus, forever! So... what are you hanging onto here in this God-forsaken temporary existence? What keeps you from full surrender to Jesus, who has already conquered death, hell, and the grave? Why would you not choose to live for Him and together with Him and your loved ones who have gone on before?

Ain't It Great To Be Possessed!

Possessed by the Spirit of the Living God, we are the body of Jesus Christ, His church and we are the manifestation of Jesus to a lost and dying world! In The Spirit, who is God, we are no longer the same man or woman. We're no longer a fornicator, a drug addict, alcoholic, swindler, liar, cheat, murderer. We are new creation and free! Whowouldathunkit? In being possessed we are free?

A Problem With Belief

Those in the Hebrew Roots Movement, of the many sectarian versions of Messianic Judaism have the same problem that the Pharisees and Scribes of Judaism had when Jesus first came, born of a woman. They said they believed Moses, but, though they knew and easily quote what he wrote, they didn't believe Him. They put their trust in and bestowed honor upon their peers who told them what Moses was really saying, and therefore they didn't believe Moses. The result - They didn't believe Jesus!

We Are The True Temple of God!

We are sight driven and huge man-made structures tend to make us feel secure. The Kingdom of God and His Temple is not made of man's hands, however. And we struggle with that. We, in the flesh, struggle with a Kingdom that is within a temple that we can't see with our human sight, in comparison to our view of a temple made of brick, mortar, marble, granite, and grandiose in it's largess. The Book of Haggai tells a story about the rebuilding of the temple and asks them how it compares to those who had seen the original. The reality is none stack up to the True Temple of God, built by Him and is comprised of Living Stones - we built upon Jesus the Chief Cornerstone. Haggai provides a type of the temple of God, whom we who are born again into the family of God are, and it's Builder! 

Let Me Hide in You

The Love of God shown through giving His own Son's life that we might live, is a love we don't understand. It's a love that pulls us under His wing, and hides us from the storms, behind Him as a wall of protection. That's our God! Do you know Him, through the supernatural rebirth of the Spirit?

No Law - No Sin!

In Galatians 2:18, Paul writes, "If I build again those things I destroyed I make myself a transgressor." And then writes, "For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God." If one has died to the law, law no longer rules over him or her. Such a one dead to the law is ruled by God in the Kingdom of God within.

When You Are a Child of The King!

Children of King Jesus and Father God have nothing to worry about! So, why do we worry?

Do You Fake It to Make It?

Jesus warned His disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. He said the leaven in hypocrisy. Hypocrites, by definition, are pretenders, like actors on a stage pretending to be someone they're not. They act the part, look the part, sound like the part in man's religion, but they have no power because they don't have the Spirit! They are simply faking it to make it! Are you? Or are you following a religion of man that is just an exercise of hypocrisy? Join me for this episode of Saddle Up!
