The deep longings are not part of your sin nature, they are built-in by your creator. They require management, not suppression.

Meek Defined
Blessed are the meek... - Matthew 5:5 By now, you see a pattern emerging. Is Jesus totally confused about what makes people happy? If we are going to believe Him, the worse off we are, the happier we should be. If I realize that I am worthless and that I have offended God at every [...]
Raise A Hallelujah – the rest of the story…
A few weeks back, for WorshipWednesday, I shared the wonderful "Raise a Hallelujah" and there was a little bit of the story behind the song in the video. But it never really gave the final testimony. Here's a video with the full story. Grab a tissue (or a box of them) and hear - "the [...]
My Worth Is Not In What I Own – #WorshipWednesday
Keith and Kristyn Getty perform a new (as hymns go) hymn of the faith. Keith is one of our generations great hymn writers. It saddens me that hymns are virtually unsung in much of the Church today. But the Getty's give me hope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfFrJHuptUQ My Worth Is Not In What I Own Keith and Kristyn [...]
Worship…
True worship marks us and moves the Lord.

Jesus’ Warning – Hey Ben, what are you thinking?
I came across this passage in Matthew 16 early in the week, and I’ve not gotten past it. It keeps rumbling around in my head.

Not just a Comfy Chair
…for they shall be comforted. - Matthew 5:4 Comfort is a misunderstood commodity. Often when we think of comfort we think of someone patting us on the knee and saying, “there, there, it will all work out all right.” So when we think of the Holy Spirit, our “comforter” we fall into this trap. We think [...]
Be Enthroned – #WorshipWednesday
I love this! Hope you do too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA4zOAtPeJ0 Be Enthroned Bethel Music Verse 1 We’ve come to join the song Sung long before our lives To raise our voice along Heaven and Earth alike We’ve seen Your faithful hand Your mercy without end A king who bled and died A God who sacrificed Chorus Be enthroned upon the praises of a thousand generations You are worthy Lord of all Unto You the slain and risen King [...]
This is the House That Jesus Built
He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house. For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house. ... but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house--whose house [...]
