God is Satisfied
The plan of God is so simple, yet so beyond our humanity to fully comprehend. It is multi-layered, the peeling away of layers granting us an un derstanding of an additional glorious part of His plan. Paul refers to it as the “mystery of Christ.” God is constantly willing to reveal to us another level …

“Dipped In Blood”
“I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is …

“Yeah, but…”
Have you ever heard, “I believe in God’s grace, but…” Or, “Yes we are new creations, but…” It’s like taking the most magnificent part of the Gospel and saying “Yeah, but.” There is no “but” in the Gospel. Minimizing the truth is a safe way to keep from teaching it. Chances are it’s not something …

“Get Them Calves Outta Here”
I remember as if it were yesterday. Sitting across from a pastor friend I had served for years, and still respected and loved deeply. We were in Selma, NC eating Chinese food for dinner.
