The Best Revenge
It ain’t heavy if you don’t pick it up. It sneaks up on you. Fine one day, you find yourself changed a short time later. You may have heard the story of how to boil a frog: Put him in cool water and slowly heat it up. By the time the little guy’s aware how hot the ...

Welcome Back, Life! The Freedom of Grace
Christians I think get it messy sometimes. I’m a big perpetrator of this. We think the whole ‘Dying to self’ thing means dying to our passions, whatever we love and find fun and enjoyable. But is that true? A quick review of Scripture seems to support this. Stop ...

Playing it (Too) Safe
Just turned twenty-eight. Wooohooo. Blow the kazoo, I’m one step closer to 30! From the get-go of this year, I sensed God saying that this was the year I’d face my fears. Uh oh. You see, I had this sudden twenty-eight-year-old epiphany. I’m not fully living. Why ...

The Grace to be Humble
I’m learning a lot about humility, and it’s been a wonderful experience lately (when you aren’t fighting the lessons He’s trying to teach you!). Humility is a beautiful and very freeing way to look at the world – once you embrace it. It’s the only true way ...

The Great Falling Away
The great falling away. The love of many will grow cold. Lately (and not intentionally) I’ve opened my Bible to doomsday passages. Joel 1. Isaiah. A bunch of other hard-to-pronounce names 😉 What’s happening globally, economically, spiritually seems to point to the same thing: ...

Jealous for Us
Putting God first (AKA firstfruits). Remember when I wrote about that last month? http://youaretheoneiwant.com/2011/04/05/first-fruits/ He’s taught me a lot in 30 short days. Today I opened His word to this passage (a book I’d never paid attention to!). The passage is a little ...
