Food, but not an appetite

Medicine, but not health

Deep Pockets of Grace: the Call to Generosity
Jesus not only commands that we lend, He also tells us not to expect anything back: “hoping for nothing again”. And that is as it should be, because we must look to God for our provision.
Reorientation from Remuneration Frustration
Many of us become frustrated with our lack of earthly treasure. We wonder why God hasn’t blessed us with the things that “moth” and “rust doth corrupt”. Somehow, we fail to recognize that God has lovingly removed from our lives the temptation to accumulate wealth unto ourselves…
Faithful Stewards
Do you realize there is nothing in your life you did not receive from God? Do you know that you are to faithfully manage everything you have received from God? Are you willing to erase the line between what is yours and what is God’s? How will you be spending the time and money that God has entrusted to your stewardship?
Where is Your Heart?
If you really want to know where your heart is, show me your treasures.
Encounters with Jesus: The Rich Young Ruler
Is Salvation valuable enough to give up everything to get it?… For Salvation to come to our lives, it must displace everything from our lives… If Salvation means ANYTHING to us, it must be EVERYTHING to us. How much are you willing to lose just to get Salvation? How much is too much to lose to get Salvation?
Lending to the Lord
It is easy to SPEAK of our belief in God and His goodness. But if we really do believe that He is trustworthy, then why do we find it so hard to give generously to those in need? God says He will repay us, do we believe Him or not?
Encounters with Jesus: The Taxers, the Taxed and the Taxa
The images on currency (money, coins) tell us who owns it. The titles on the currency tell the value assigned by the owner. Likewise, our ownership and value are determined by whose image and title is on us. Sin removes God’s image and title from us and replaces it with the world’s title and valuation. But Salvation through Jesus Christ re-imprints God’s image on our lives and we are re-titled as Sons.
Encounters With Jesus: Paying Taxes
The children of God live in the Kingdom of God, therefore, no tax in any kingdom of man can stop/hinder the work of a child of God going about their Father’s business in the Kingdom of God. God the Father had already provided for our earthly needs, so no earthly tax/demand/situation can stop you or me from doing the work of God here on earth.
