If you want to change the world, you need to do these two things… Love Jesus, and make your bed.
LOVE JESUS, MAKE YOUR BED
A LIVING HOUSE
In reality, we are like an empty, dark, windows broken, glass everywhere kind of room when we choose not to make room for Jesus. He won’t start the restoration process if we don’t allow Him to.
SHAKE THE DUST OFF
Here’s what people don’t want to tell you, though… Your choices have consequences, and you get to choose who’s honor you receive. It matters who is giving you the honor.
WORLDLY WINS OR SPIRITUAL SUCCESSES?
Too often I think we view Christianity as something “to do” instead of “to be”. It’s great to do what the Gospel says, I’m not discounting that. But think of how much better it would be if we were to actually build the Kingdom and follow Jesus’ example because that’s who we are?
THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES
It’s time to realize, Church, that our society is no longer a “Christian” one. Instead, it is permeated with counter-Christian messages that teach people to despise God and to treat His ways with contempt.
IS JESUS YOUR WHY?
Your influence is irreplaceable when you have the authority of Christ and a passion for Him more than anything else you have ever encountered. Let Jesus Himself be your “why”.
I TALK BACK
Praying God’s words back to Him is one of the most powerful weapons against the forces of evil. A practice Jesus made a priority. It reminds us that God knows our way and understands what we face. It allows us to be solely dependent upon Him and trust Him. It guards our hearts and focuses our minds back on Him.
WITHIN ONESELF
What I’ve found, is that it is extremely difficult to measure sacrifice; it often seems to me that it is a road with no end.
SITTING QUIETLY
In the next scene, he comes to and is sitting in his armchair with a cup of tea while he and Gandalf have an exchange that I believe is very important. Listen closely to what is said. “I’ll be fine, just let me sit quietly for a moment,” said Bilbo. “You’ve been sitting quietly for far too long!” Was the response Gandalf gave.
GOT MY HEART GOING
He is a God who will never, ever, misunderstand you because He is the only one who knows without a doubt, where you’re really meant to be.
DEARNESS ONLY GIVES VALUE
Many of them have preached from the pulpit that politics are not in accordance with standards of honor or decency. Well neither is the Church at this point in time. So, what’s your point?
FOR LACK OF WONDER
I long for us to want the wonder again. The wonder that has left our homes. The admiration for Christ that has left our Churches. I would be bold enough to say that most of us stress about presents and parties and punch each Christmas more than we think about the manger, our sin, and the cross in a whole year.
THE HOLY PILGRIMAGE OF GRIEF
You’re trying to fight the fierce, yet holy, pilgrimage that grief will take you on. We tend to swim against the currents of it, terrified of being overwhelmed or even becoming lost in our brokenness.
WHY GOD HASN’T WRITTEN AMERICA OFF AND WHY WE SHOULDN’T EITHER
We can’t lose hope. It takes time for evil to be exposed, and we must be patient and willing to trust the Lord for the fate of our country.
THE END ZONE
This is the moment where the coach gets down on his knees and starts to crawl beside him, yelling back at Brock, telling him to keep going and that he cannot give up.
BECOMING OBVIOUS
The Church of 2020 cannot afford to be stuck “deciding” whether or not we will take a stand against sin. We are called to make it transparently obvious that we will do what is right even if it is not the popular thing to do. We don’t have a choice anymore.
A THOUSAND TIMES OVER
A year ago today, I sat in front of my computer completely broken before the Lord, about to write a post that I had no clue would make its rounds through multiple churches in the U.S. and be sent through many other jail pods all across Texas. It is one of The Few’s most popular blog posts, so today on October 7, 2020, we are going to republish it.
THE AMERICAN’S DEVOTION
I’m so tired of people saying that Christians should just be quiet when it comes to politics. The reason believers need to stand up and speak up is because politics effects morality. Politics effect your God-given rights, the unborn, religious decisions, schooling, your safety, etc! Y’all, we have to start standing up for ourselves and the things that we know are absolute truth, because no one else will.
CHRISTIANITY AND…
So, come and lay down the “Fashion of Christian coloring” at the cross and be made whole, so that we may experience true happiness and joy.
