Quickly Becoming My New Favorite Verses…
Colossians 2:6&7 says, As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
I’ve always loved these 2 verses for several reasons. There’s a lot of very cool things we can learn from them, and apply to our life.
After reading The Message Bible paraphrase, they hit me even harder!
Check it out…
Colossians 2 :6&7 from The Message
My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you’ve been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him. You’re deeply rooted in him. You’re well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you’ve been taught. School’s out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving.
Got to love that!
DNA – What Do You Believe?
DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid: an extremely long macromolecule that is the main component of chromosomes and is the material that transfers genetic characteristics in all life forms, constructed of two nucleotide strands coiled around each other in a ladder like arrangement with the side pieces composed of alternating phosphate and deoxyribose units and the rungs composed of the purine and pyrimidine bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine: the genetic information of DNA is encoded in the sequence of the bases and is transcribed as the strands unwind and replicate.
WOW! (That was so deep, I’m worn out from just copying and pasting the definition from dictionary.com.)
The bottom line, your DNA is what you’re made of and how you transfer that make up to others…
Over the last several weeks here at Faith Renewed Outreach Center, we’ve been in a teaching Series entitled DNA. It’s basically a Series on the core values our church.
What we believe…
What you believe, will determine what you receive!
Here’s a list of what we’ve talked about so far:
#1 – The Word
#2 – God
#3 – Jesus
#4 – The Holy Spirit
#5 – Salvation
#6 – Water Baptism
#7 – Baptism of The Holy Spirit
#8 – Communion
This week I will be teaching on the subject of Healing… (Can’t wait!)
I say this every Series, but I really believe this is the most important Series I’ve ever taught.
Colossians 2:6&7 says, As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
What you’ve been taught and believe, will determine how you walk with Jesus. How strong that walk is, and ultimately what you experience in this life and the next.

He’s Alive!
We just celebrated my favorite “holiday” this past Sunday!
I absolutely LOVE Easter and what it truly represents! The eggs, fat bunny, & candy are all great! Those are all a lot of fun and great tools that open doors to tell people about the true reason for this Season.
This is a time when we focus on the FACT that Jesus is ALIVE! Of the 4 major “religions” that are based on a person, Christianity is the ONLY one that has a Leader that is not in the grave today…
1. Buddhism is based on Buddha. The Buddha is still hanging out in his grave in India.
2. Judaism is based on Abraham. Who by the way was a great man, but his grave is still occupied today in the city of Hebron.
3. Islam is based on Muhammad. His dead body still lies in a tomb in Medina.
4. Christianity was founded on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
The interesting thing about this, is that the most popular Man in the world, has no grave! He doesn’t need one! YES, He died, and His body was placed in a borrowed tomb, but today that tomb is empty!
In His own words in the Book of Revelation chapter 1 verse 18 Jesus said, “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”
I’m so thankful that I pray to, walk with, rely on, & trust in, a Leader that LIVES!
He’s ALIVE! PASS IT ON!!!
Man Up!
The word Man by definition means: an adult male person, as distinguished from a boy or a woman.
The Lord hit me with a hard thought that I shared with our men at Faith Renewed.
1 Corinthians13:11 says:
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
As men we are supposed to be different…
There should be a distinguished difference from us and a boy or a woman. It’s not a body part or facial hair that should separate us, but our actions.
We should be leading the way in our homes, businesses, and in the church.
We are called to be the first ones that worship The Lord, give to Him with our finances & time, and serve others…
When I was a kid, I loved it when my parents gave to me, but I grew up and now have children of my own. Now I’m the one that’s doing the giving.
So I have to take a hard look at my life and answer these questions:
Am I speaking different?
Is my understanding different?
Am I thinking different?
Have I put away childish things?
I say this with all the love in my heart, LET’S MAN UP!
