Lessons for Life
Our blog articles uncover the pattern for guaranteed success found in scripture. Read the posts below and begin living the successful life you were created for.
Complete Eternity
Understanding each component of eternality, and its purpose and influence on our complete eternity, and on our personal eternalness, will make our journey more understandable, more enjoyable, and we can address and navigate each component more effectively and more accurately.
Everything In Its Time
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men's hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. -Ecclesiastes 3:11 AMPC
Fulfillment Comes From Eternity
Nothing that is based in time will satisfy our longing for fulfillment and for accomplishment. Only our acknowledgement, our engagement, and our pursuit of our created and designed, eternal purpose will provide real fulfillment, because that is why we are, and why we are here.
Fully Engaged
Are you a jet fighter? Or a puddle jumper? Why do so few of us take advantage of the fullness of power freely offered to us in the Kingdom? I have been a pilot for over fifty years (since the Vietnam War), and still think like a pilot. The following metaphor has played in my mind regarding the power available to us in the Kingdom, and our failure to engage and appropriate it.
God's Plan
He has given us a plan. His plan is the Kingdom System and the realm, the power, and the authority that engages through us and for us. We really are more than conquerors and in every situation, we are made to triumph through Jesus and His total order for us, His Kingdom realm.
Eternal Perspective: Nicodemus
This week, let's take a look at another famous passage where Jesus participates in a paradigm-shattering, eternity-focused conversation -- this time with Nicodemus in John 3. Many of us have read parts or the whole of this passage perhaps thousands of times, but let's look at it again today with the fresh eyes of eternity.
Eternal Perspective: The Well
We must learn to live and to have our being in the Kingdom Realm of eternity if we are to experience the joy, the pleasure and the success that was planned for us before we were born. We must learn to present and share the Good News based on eternity like Jesus did.
Temporal Perspective
In our previous blog, we discussed the distinction between spirit, mind, and body. Many people today prioritize the upkeep and beautification of their body, to the detriment and neglect of their mind and spirit. This body-consciousness often borders on obsession. But what does our Creator and Designer have to say about this?
Spirit, Mind, and Body
God is Spirit, and we must worship, fellowship, and communicate with him out of, or from, our spirit. Our spirit is the component of our triune being that lives forever.
Absolute & Unchanging
Heaven and earth will pass away, but the Word of our God is forever. God’s Word does not change. It is not situational. It does not change with different situations, circumstances, and relationships. God’s Word is absolute and unchanging.
The Mind is the Gatekeeper
Our emotions, our will, our intellect, our feelings, and our imaginations are all the product of our mind, and not of our spirits. Our mind is where the Kingdom of Light and the kingdom of darkness go to do battle. Our mind is the gatekeeper. This is where we decide and where we choose who will rule in our lives.
God Reveals Wrath
When we reject and when we entice and prevent others from accepting our God and His Realm, the wrath of God is our promise and our reward. It not a small thing to deny and to reject the living God. He is all powerful and all loving at the same time. The dynamic of our rejecting Him and His rule, His Kingdom, has a distinct interactive outcome that we cannot deny.
