Do you believe that “the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12)? Do you believe that “the gospel of Christ … is the
Whenever you do something that displeases the Lord, as soon as the Spirit of God has made you aware of it, make things right with God. As you do this, you will come to know — firsthand — the mercy and forgiveness of God and the joy of being in constant fellowship with Him. Memorize 1 John 1:9 and practice it daily.

I am deeply concerned about an outrageous lie, one that has been around since the beginning of the church; it is a teaching that may be summed up as, “Hey, really, thanks a lot for saving me, Jesus – so anyway, I can take it from here!” This notion takes a hundred forms. Paul regularly butted heads with legalists: they said that faith in Christ was...
Looked at from one angle, my life may be divided into two halves. The first half was labeled: No thanks. The second half: Yes, lets! Actual Examples of “No Thanks”: Gary, you want to go sailing in the bay with us? No thanks. How about playing some hoops? Don’t feel like it. You want to go and hear this messianic group, “The Liberated Wailing Wall”?...
The spiritual produce wagon arrives every day, full to overflowing for those who wish to ask the Father. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, and that’s not the complete list; it’s only a summary. They are miracle gifts, planted, watered, grown, harvested, replanted by the Almighty. Just nod your...
Of course, it’s easy enough to fake that you’re on good terms with the Spirit, if that’s what you want. Just repeat after us as we recite the formulas! Pat a back or two; work one sacrificial act into your weekly lifestyle; count all the way to eleven before you open up to irritation. Repression can be made up to look like peacefulness, hubbub can ...
Brain specialists and sociologists have now shown that people automatically gravitate toward those who look like them. Like feels comfortable with like, uncomfortable with different. So whether we realize it or not, our brains push us to clump together with people like ourselves. But in the end, what does it matter? Because God is a mighty God; and...
We will now turn our attention to the second question: how do our contemporary counselors use healing nomenclature? The answer is not a simple one, but a survey of two influential “disease” models may help us to find the roots of the therapeutic culture. We begin with the classic formulation of Alcoholics Anonymous. In the 1930’s, Dr. William D. Si...
What do we find when the prophets of healing are set side by side with the biblical prophets? Common decency presses us to point out some hazards of using a “healing” model: (1) the “healing” metaphor becomes increasingly misleading the closer it is to becoming the controlling metaphor for God’s help; (2) it brings along cultural baggage that is co...
What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!
Raking leaves: on the bottom of my list, way below all other yard work. Lower than fixing leaks; cleaning; trash day. I can’t think of a task I enjoy less. Made even worse by the fact that I had them all picked up two weeks ago, then it got windy and I had to start again. I become nostalgic for the days you could pile them up and pour on a gallon a...
Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ's Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever...

Feb 22, 2016 · I pray. If you admit you can do nothing, you say, “O God, help me.” “Ask, and you will receive,” Jesus said (John 16:24). “You do not have, because you do not ask” (James 4:2). “Call upon me in the day of trouble” (Psalm 50:15). So I asked the Lord. I sat there on the pew, and I asked the Lord for freedom from self-consciousness.
