Good works and the bottom line definition of "good".

What does the Lord mean when He uses the word “works”, and is there a difference between doing good things, and maintaining good works?

Stand UP Church, we've got to get to our feet!

The word for “standing up” and “standing” was used extensively in the O.T., over 1000 times this expression is used in one capacity or another…. many times the entire nation of Israel was called to “stand before the Lord” in solemn assemblies…. The phrase “stand before Him” is an expression of dedication, allegiance, and service. Joseph stood before Pharoah, David before Saul, etc, etc and so the believer stands before the Lord in a position of obedience, respect, and readiness to serve.  When at church and the music starts, do most of us even know why we stand? Is it because someone told you to?  Is it blind habit, something we do because… well… it’s what we always do?  Maybe it’s that we see others stand and we don’t want to be the odd one out… and if no one told you to – would you stand anyway?  Why would you do that?  The wise take the time to carefully consider their motivations... Do you stand for righteous reasons?... What are your reasons for standing, or not?

Eye Level

“Eye level” means getting next to people where your eyes and their eyes are on the same level, physically, metaphorically, and spiritually…. just like the Lord did with mankind through Jesus Christ…He got eye level with us. Up until the advent of Jesus Christ, the Lord was not “eye level” with us, but when Jesus came to town, God got right where He could look straight in the eyes of mankind. God gave us His face.

The clock is ticking, where are you?

Jesus is coming back, and when the righteous are removed… the world will be left with nothing but the sound of their own breath and what remains of the world around them… how will it all look if there are no God-infused people around?

The Strugglers - Da' Struggle Be Real!

The topic is struggling and those in the Kingdom of God who struggle forward, whom i’ve dubbed “The Strugglers” for their valiance and passion to find some way to wrap their fingers and hands in the robes of God Himself.  We struggle to get up a hill and not fall backward, and then we struggle to get down the same hill trying to not fall forward.  Even so, the value of struggle is immeasurable and valuable.

The Name above all names - Jesus!

God has given Jesus a crown of glory and honor and a good name, and having put everything under the feet of the Son, Jesus has dominion over all the works of His hands, including all animals, creatures, all birds and insects, all things which travel the pathways of the sea, in the earth, under the earth, and all the Heavens above. The name of Jesus is excellent in all the universe! i read once that the Father loves to hear us saying the name of His son… Jesus. His Name in my mouth is like tasting something delicious and sweet.  i consider all of the Lord’s doctrines, values, instructions, and requirements … to be right and righteous and no one can bend them to become something other than what they are.
