Human Life and Reasoning Resonate with Us but it Can Reject Faith and Replace it with Human Fantasy: with Religion, not Relationship Sometimes we approach God like an old worn out boat, not a yacht. Why do we struggle so hard to understand and grasp the gospel of the New…

I’m a Lawyer who Loves Legal Jokes. I’m not an Outside Taking Shots, but an Insider Sharing, “The Truth, the Whole Truth…” — Yes, I am a lawyer. Please don’t hold this against me. This is simply humor. Don’t look for anything serious or you’ll go blind. Humor won’t remove the bumps of life but it can help smooth them out. It seems most folks love lawyer jokes, even if they don’t like…

“All Things Were Made New” in the Gospel. We Have “A New and Living Way.” Live the Psalms in the Light of God’s Gospel Truth. — Psalm 135 through Psalm 142 I repeat this each time so you see my perspective! Second Corinthians 3:6, 14–16, Hebrews 10:9, etc., show us the Old Testament should be read with the New Testament gospel on our minds and hearts.

Teachers Tell You What You Have to DO to be Right with God. Fathers Tell All the Good God Does for Us and All the Ways He Blesses Us. — These comparisons come from Paul in First Corinthians 4:15: “For though you have 10,000 instructors in Christ, you do not have many fathers. In Christ Jesus, I have begotten you through the gospel.” Instructors preach what we have to do ‘next’ to be right with God. And there is always…

If you live in the U.S.A., you know we celebrate Thanksgiving. A few other countries do too. — I know Canada celebrates it too, and three other countries. I read that 17 other countries celebrate some version of it but differ from the way we do. Being ‘The Gospel Life Coach,’ I call Thanksgiving — “the gospel lifestyle.” The Apostle Paul says, “In everything give thanks” (I Thessalonians…

“Jesus Taught Them Many Things by his Parables. And in Them, He Proclaimed Unto Them his DOCTRINE!” (Mark 4:2) — This is not just a teaching on the Parables of Jesus. It shows how each of them speaks to the gospel doctrine of Jesus he said we must believe and live. His Parables were the way he proclaimed these truths. …
