God's wisdom

God's wisdom leads us to the interior of his purposes. We receive the wisdom of God by ready the Bible, prayer, and community with others.

1 Corinthians 2:7 (KJV)

Triggering a response

I have no interest in giving you a chatty account of my adventures, only the wonderously powerful and transformingly present words and deed of Christ in me that triggered a believing response among the…

Romans 15:18 (MSG)

Quick Response

Readily recognize what God wants from you, and quickly respond to it. This doesn't mean to fire off half-baked ideas, or to guess. Rather, when you know God has directed your path, get on it and go.…

Pruned or Grafted

Ruthless with the deadwood, gentle with the grafted shoot. These two actions are both holy and righteous by God. It is all perspective on our parts. Whether we are being pruned or grafted.

Romans 11:22 (MSG)

Stamp of legitimacy

The chosen ones of God were those who let god pursue his interest in them, and as a result received his stamp of legitimacy.

Romans 11:7 (KJV)

Greek Women

several instances now list the greek women, especially prominent Greek women, as those that are turning towards the truth of what Paul is preaching. Why the distinction. Normally the scriptures merely…

Acts 17:12 (NIV)

Stand vs Jump

So Paul sees a man who is lame listening to him speak. The man apparently has the faith to be healed according to Paul. The lame man must have been waiting for this type of moment for years. His days…

Acts 14:8 (NIV), Acts 14:9 (NIV), Acts 14:10 (NIV)

have real and eternal life

& in the act of believing, have real and eternal life in the way he personally revealed it.

John 20:31 (MSG)

Jesus went out and met them

Jesus knew everything that was about to happen to him. My instinct might have been to run and get away from them, or run and get to a new life in a new city, to deny who I was in order to save myself.…

John 18:4 (MSG), John 18:5 (MSG)

joy like a river

i can get used to joy overflowing it's banks. As I ask for great things to be done in the name of Jesus.

John 16:24 (MSG)

Human Praise more than praise from God

This is convicting!

John 12:43 (NIV)

Jesus escapes

I wonder what it looked like for Jesus to escape the grasp of the Jews. Was he physically stronger than them and pushed and wrestled his way out? Sort of one against 10? Did the Jews who were beginning…

John 10:17 (NIV), John 10:18 (NIV), John 10:39 (NIV)

No one takes Jesus' life

Love the reminder that man did not take the life of Christ. Rather, Jesus laid his life down intentionally. It is a great point to remember. No one took it away from him, but rather he gave it up. Plus,…

John 10:17 (NIV), John 10:18 (NIV)

Eat my flesh

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and i will raise them up at the last day. That really is hard to hear for the first time as one of Jesus' disciples. It would be very hard…

John 6:54 (NIV), John 6:68 (NIV)

God must draw them

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and i will raise them up at the last day. So God must enable those to be drawn close to Jesus.

John 6:14 (NIV), John 6:44 (NIV)

Skeptic

Even as I read this, I try to put myself in their shoes. I would most likely have been a skeptic saying there was food already in those baskets. There have been soo many frauds who claim to be the real…

John 6:14 (NIV)

we believe

this is great. The woman of the well did a great job in relating the info from the well to her friends. From that, some became believers. Others followed her back to meet Jesus. From that interaction,…

John 4:42 (NIV)

Noteworthy

This could be where 3rd Day got there name. Two references to day three in this passage. Bridgegroom is what Jesus is called as his church is the bride.

John 2:4 (NIV)

Too early

Curious how Jesus is caught a little off guard and wasn't ready to begin his ministry yet.

John 2:4 (NIV)

moses and jesus

Jesus is full of Grace and Truth

John 1:17 (NIV)
