Love and Lordship

The Story of 2 Kingdoms Series

The Kingdom and Lordship of Christ

“Temptation usually comes through a door that’s been deliberately left open.”   Scottish Theologian Arnold Glasgow (1905 – 1998)

*John came up to me after a Sunday morning church service and asked if I remembered him. “Of course,” I said, “I worked for your dad one summer.” “Dad’s got late stage cancer and I’m running the company now,” he said. “So sorry to hear that.” I replied, “How can I pray for and help you?”

“Can we meet?  I’m...Read More

True Authority in God's Covenant Order

Authority in The Home...Authority in Christ's Church...Authority in The World

How to Love Others in Times of Crisis

I’ve been thinking about this and “social distancing” is a bad term! Not a bad concept from the standpoint of the pandemic and risk. But we should simply call it “physical distancing” and continue to find ways to build good friendships and social relationships…love others! Part of that is honoring the physical distance so as to not put others at risk. Still there are many ways that we can love our neighbors!

Why Authority? Let's Just Love One Another

Why authority? Because authority, rightly or wrongly expressed, affects everything else! You’ve heard all the mantras. “You’ll only go as far as leadership takes you.” “The best leadership is based on persuasion.” “Leadership is everything.” We could list many more and all of them usually ring with some degree of truth or at least some evidence of worldly success. Authority is lordship. Authority is leadership. But what if we’re doing it all wrong? What if we, as human beings, expressing our true human nature,…Read More

How to Flourish in Times of Despair

“Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.”  Isaiah 40:31… I was praying recently and The Lord said to me, “Oh my goodness, Greg, I didn’t see this coronavirus pandemic coming.  I don’t know what to do.”  Obviously I’m being very facetious, as God is never caught off guard.  But that’s how many folk are acting.  I can understand those…Read More

What is God Giving Us in this Crisis? T-I-M-E! Here’s a great perspective from God’s Truth. You can choose to worry about what you don’t have and can’t do or control, or you can begin to develop the one thing God is giving you in this crisis – TIME – the one thing that spells LOVE to every spouse and every child out there!

Fear of God or Fear of Man

In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, we are given as Christ followers and excellent opportunity to responding to crisis, fear and worry in faith, hope and love…just as our Lord did and as His Word encourages and even commands us to do! We need not fear what man (or virus) can do to us as we are certain of our lives in Christ for eternity!  That’s awesome, you say, when I’m gone from this life and move into the next.  What about here and now? ...Read More

Authority and Love – A Wake Up Call for Marriage, Family and The Church

True Authority “My determination is to be my utmost for His Highest.  To get there is a question of will, not of debate nor of reasoning, but a surrender of will, an absolute and irrevocable surrender on that point.  An overweening consideration for ourselves is the thing that keeps us from that decision, though we put it that we are considering others.  When we consider what it will cost others if we obey the call of Jesus, we tell God He does not know what...Read More
