  • Getting Dressed
    We get dressed in the awareness that all we do is as a representative of Christ. We enter the world and enter our day as Christ’s ambassadors. We dress to reflect well on our master. So we dress in compassion, forgiveness, love, peace, gratitude and joyful worship. We also go forth in the power of Christ’s name. We’re not making this stuff up. He has given us his life. His story is the one that matters. His name is the power that charms our fears and transforms lives. We get dressed in the power of his life, binding him to us more and more.

  • Put on the New

    Certain things change us when we put them on. The first time a judge puts on the robe. The first time a policeman wears the badge. It's not the metal or cloth that dons us but the authority that comes with them.

  • Living in Heaven

    1) Since you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is.
    2) For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
    3) When Christ, who is your life, appears, you also will appear with him in glory.

    All that Jesus is and does belongs to us. But he waits for us to ask before he releases that power. He holds back until we ask him to join the death of Jesus to us so we might be free of sin. He yearns for us to draw on his resurrection power to energize and transform us.

  • Guard Your Freedom

    You can’t talk your way out of legalism. You can’t reason your way out. After all, it’s a good thing to confess sins, pray sincerely, share the gospel, pick up trash and apologize to people you offend. It’s a good thing to walk 15,000 steps, stand up during the day and eat healthy. It’s a good thing to enact spiritual disciplines and read Christian books. You can’t reason your way out of legalism because it is made up of good things. It’s just that those good things can become chains that bind. What’s good practice for one becomes chains of guilt to another. These good practices can become obsessive. They can become the basis for evaluation instead of the only thing that matters: are you in Christ, trusting in him alone for your salvation?

  • Nailed to the Cross

    Your sins have been nailed to the cross. This grace is free. You can’t earn it, buy it or manipulate it. But it ain’t cheap.
