How about you?

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; 
Truth isn't. (Mark Twain)

Truth isn't limited to the possible - it transcends it. So many of us focus on what we see as 'possible' rather than looking toward what may seem a little impossible to us. We limit ourselves by the 'belief' that we are 'limited' to what is possible - based upon our talents, status, upbringing, or training. I never knew riding a two-wheeler would be so hard, but after a few falls and a whole lot of wobbly attempts, I was able to realize the 'impossible'. That one 'skill' allowed me to be 'mobile' like I never could be just on foot. If I had of looked at that old Schwinn two-wheeler and my brother's assistance as though they were going to harm me, I never would have got up on that thing. Sometimes we have to put aside our 'belief' that something is impossible if we are ever to move beyond into the possible.

Learn the truth and never reject it. Get wisdom, self-control, and understanding. (Proverbs 23:23)

One of the greatest things we can do is push beyond our lack of understanding - God's answers await those who are willing to seek truth. Learn truth and never reject it - why? Truth will never limit us as much as our own understanding. If we limit ourselves to what we understand, we are saying we only count on what is possible. As we enter into a relationship with God, we are actually moving into the impossible - because none of us actually deserves to enter into his presence. We enter in because the way has been opened through the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus - the impossible became the possible. As we seek God's wisdom, we may just be surprised by what we call the impossible becoming the possible in our lives.

Love and truth bring forgiveness of sin. By respecting the Lord you will avoid evil. (Proverbs 16:6)

Love and truth - together they bring grace - the forgiveness of our sin. Not only forgiveness, but 'release' from a debt we could never repay. If God could extend grace to the undeserving sinner, what makes us think he could not open doors that we see no way of opening? Truth has to be embraced - we have to enter into it fully. It is by embracing truth and his love that we begin to step out of the impossible and into the possible. I never thought I could resist evil in my life - sin came naturally to me. In being embraced by truth, allowing truth to embrace me fully, I am able to move beyond my sinfulness and walk in his grace. How about you? Just askin...

What did obedience cost Mary and Joseph?

As we have looked at the birth of Christ, we have considered the fact he was born of a virgin, with an earthly father so willing to honor God with his life that he married a woman who was already pregnant.  In that day and time, a very taboo thing.  We also saw how the mother of Christ was chosen by God and given the dramatic news that she would carry the Son of God.  Imagine her awe, but also see her tremendous amount of fear as she would have received this announcement, knowing all she knew about the time in which she lived about how a woman out of wedlock showing up pregnant would be treated.  We also explored the lowly birth of Jesus in a stable of sorts, surrounded by animals, visited by shepherds, and then honored by magi from afar.  The announcement of his birth was by angels - start to finish.  Mary heard from an angel (a messenger from God), while Joseph was set at ease by a messenger from God on another occasion - assuring him the thing he was about to do in marrying Mary wa

A brilliant display indeed

Love from the center of who you are ; don’t fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply ; practice playing second fiddle. Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder. (Romans 12:9-12) Integrity and Intensity don't seem to fit together all that well, but they are uniquely interwoven traits which actually complement each other. "Love from the center of who you are; don't fake it." God asks for us to have some intensity (fervor) in how we love (from the center of who we are), but he also expects us to have integrity in our love as he asks us to be real in our love (don't fake it). They are indeed integral to each other. At first, we may only think of integrity as honesty - some adherence to a moral code within. I believe there is a little more to integrity than meets the eye. In the most literal sense,

Do me a favor

If you’ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care—then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. (Philippians 2:1-4) Has God's love made ANY difference in your life? What is that difference? Most of us will likely say that our lives were changed for the good, while others will say there was a dramatic change. Some left behind lifestyles marked by all manner of outward sin - like drug addiction, alcoholism, prostitution, or even thievery. There are many that will admit the things they left behind were just a bit subtler - what we can call inward sin - things like jealousy,
