However, sprinkle in a little dash of desire and all things change. What was once relegated to procrastination now gets moved to the front of the line. Deep within us we say, "I must do this thing." We become diligent and focused. Our face and eyes spring to life. It is amazing what desire can do. An identifying mark of all who belong to God is the fact that desire for the things of God is alive and well. Jesus described desire as hunger and thirst. Listen closely and you'll understand. Matthew 5:6 ]]> Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=10/26/2009
Human nature is natural. So, naturally, we feel that if we give to the Lord the rights to our lives (the definition of meekness) we'll be missing out on something. However, if we belong to the Lord, we will humble ourselves before him. If we will recognize God's rightful place in our lives and yield to him, he will FILL our lives with himself. Meekness then becomes power – power according to the will of God. Listen closely to this message. Matthew 5:5 ]]> Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=10/19/2009
The world has only half a gospel. Half a gospel is when there is awareness of deep trouble, but rejection of the only remedy. Sin is the deep trouble and Jesus is the only remedy. The missing half of the gospel begins with the word: "blessed" and ends with "comforted." If people would come to the King on his terms, they will discover for themselves just how good the gospel is. Listen closely to this message and you'll see. Matthew 5:4 ]]> Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=10/12/2009
What is the answer to life? Bow at the feet of the King. The King took the time to visit his creation to give insight into his kingdom. He sat on a lonely hillside in Israel and taught. Who will sit at his feet today? Take the time to humbly listen to Jesus as he gives us the Sermon on the Mount. Matthew 5:1-3 ]]> Mon, 12 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=10/5/2009
The questions take aim at the center of our being. One such question is this: "If God be for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31). This is more than rhetoric. It is truth and reality. Listen closely to this message because the wind of the Spirit is coming. Romans 8:28-39 ]]> Mon, 05 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=9/28/2009
What if we could see suffering from a different perspective? Sometimes a fresh perspective can make all the difference in the world. Instead of "Why?" we now say, "Oh, now I see." What if we could see suffering from the point of view of God? The first eight chapters of the book of Romans set the stage for such a view. Listen to this message and discover a new way to see suffering. Romans 8:18-27 ]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=9/21/2009
One of the blessings of the gospel is that it describes a miraculous provision from the throne of God. God himself has extended his hand to give us belonging through the gift of his One and Only Son. The once impersonal universe suddenly becomes home. If we are in Christ, we belong to God. We belong to God by the power of adoption. Listen closely and find out just how this can be. Romans 8:5-17 ]]> Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=9/14/2009
I know that all have sinned. I know that I still sin even though I have received Jesus Christ as my Savior. I can say with the Apostle Paul that "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do" (Romans 7:15). I can't be perfect and sometimes I feel like I am driving myself crazy with failure to measure up. The power of the gospel is that the answer is in Christ. "THEREFORE, there is now no condemnation of those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). Listen to this message and find out what the "therefore" is there for. Romans 8:1-4 ]]> Mon, 14 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=9/7/2009
Paul concludes his answer at the end of chapter seven. He deals with the perplexing problem that sin still persists in many troubling ways despite our new position in Christ. Paul makes this confession, "When I want to do good, evil is right there with me" (Romans 7:21). He goes on to declare that there is a war going on inside of him. Is there any hope of victory? Listen to this message and you'll have the answer. Romans 7:7-25 ]]> Mon, 07 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=8/30/2009
In chapter seven Paul shows how this is made possible. "We serve in the new way of the Spirit, not in the old way of the written code" (Romans 7:6). We have a new nature, a new master and a NEW POWER. Romans 7:1-6 ]]> Sun, 30 Aug 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=8/23/2009
The fact that freedom leads to service may sound like a paradox. It all depends on perspective. From a natural perspective freedom leading to service makes no sense. However, from God's view true freedom is being under his authority. Adam wrested control from God only to be thrust into slavery. Jesus, as a type of Adam, made a way for all slaves in Adam to be returned again under the dominion of God – set free to serve him. Romans 6:15-23 ]]> Sun, 23 Aug 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=8/16/2009
Although the capacity to sin is still with us, we also have a new nature and a new power at work within us that abhors sin. Based on this new nature we can now be exhorted to yield our lives to God. A person without the new nature cannot receive such exhortations. It would only cause damage as it would be asking for the impossible. The Christian, on the other hand, lives by a completely different foundation. Romans 6:1-14 ]]> Sun, 16 Aug 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/

He referred his questioners back to creation:

"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate" (Matthew 19:4-6).

Jesus gave explicit instructions that we were not to separate what God has joined together. We live in an age of confusion about the institution of marriage. When the basic foundation of marriage is lost we will lose the basic foundation of civilization. For a donation to the ministry of Christian Life Tools you will be sent an audio CD entitled "The Sanctity of Marriage." This is a 45 minute sermon based on the text of Matthew 19.

Blessings to you,
