The beautiful and powerful result when we agree with God's assessment of our condition as sinners is that it opens the door for salvation. Until we can admit (confess) our true condition, from God's point of view, nothing happens. The gospel is of no value to those who have no sin. Only sinners need apply. No use hiding behind fig leaves. God already knows our condition. Why not agree with him? Listen closely and you'll understand why. Genesis 3:8-9 ]]> Mon, 31 May 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=5/24/2010
The deeper we get into the gospel it seems that God wants to bless us far beyond our capacity to receive. We find that God wants the dimensions of the blessings that he pours out on us to be supernatural-sized. If we receive a cup, it overflows. If we receive peace, it surpasses understanding. If we receive water, it is a river. If we receive life, it never ends. Listen closely and check out this supernatural-sized prayer in God's word. Ephesians 3:14-21 ]]> Mon, 24 May 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=5/17/2010
Why pray? God has invested power in his people. In his wisdom he has planted a praying people on this earth. God allows us to have a share in the responsibility and stewardship to bring his redemptive power to bear in our world. The power that created the universe is as close to us as a quiet whisper or a silent moment on our knees. Why pray? Why not pray? Luke 18:1-8 ]]> Mon, 17 May 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=5/10/2010
Unfortunately, the world is in a struggle to keep to adhere to this godly concept of marriage. God's plan for his creation has not ceased. Marriage is still GOD'S institution. The more we know of his plan the more we will be willing to submit to his will. Our lives and the life of our civilization will prosper. Despite the current trend, the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman is still God's reality. Anything less is inviting disaster. ]]> Mon, 10 May 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=5/3/2010
Some skeptics have overlooked the fact that attitude plays a role in how people come to terms with the biblical concept of God. A case in point was in how Jesus responded to the woman at the well in John, chapter four. He opened up the windows of heaven for her. In contrast, Herod plied Jesus with many questions, but he gave him no answer. The woman at the well is now remembered forever. Herod has disappeared from history. Attitude matters. ]]> Mon, 03 May 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=4/26/2010
Through the gospel we can now have right relationship to God through Jesus Christ. We still have free will, but our will is tied directly to God through the power of the Holy Spirit. It is with this new nature in mind that Jesus can now give us the 11th Commandment: "A new command I give you: Love one another." It is our ability to respond to this command that separates us from the animals. John 13:34 ]]> Mon, 26 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=4/19/2010
We believers have a human nature that is like a "Lucy" inside of us that betrays a Charlie Brown-like trust. "I know I'll do better next time," we promise ourselves. Suddenly, we lose our footing – THUMP! How can we win this war within us? Galatians 5:16-25 ]]> Mon, 19 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=4/12/2010
The reason we can be given such an exhortation, in Ephesians 4:1, is because of what God's word has revealed to us in the first three chapters of Ephesians. Without the first three chapters of Ephesians the exhortation in the fourth chapter would be impossible. The more we know who we are in Christ the more power we will have to live the way God intends. In times of failure when that same old tape plays in our minds – "And you call yourself a Christian?!" – We'll have an answer ready: "No. That's what God calls me." Ephesians 4:11-16 ]]> Mon, 12 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=4/5/2010
Devotion to Jesus is often misunderstood. Those who stand by (by-standers) will not understand the reason behind deep displays of devotion. Jesus was devoted to us and it led him to the cross. People on the receiving end of such devotion and sacrifice can hardly just stand by (remain by-standers). Devotion is an appropriate response. Jesus is worthy. Mark 14:1-10 ]]> Mon, 05 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=3/29/2010
The disciples had a front row seat as they witnessed the miracle of God's arithmetic when Jesus fed the multitude with a few loaves and fishes. What can God do with our lives as we yield to him? Let God's arithmetic add to your life today. Put your life in his hands. John 6:1-15 ]]> Mon, 29 Mar 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=3/22/2010
How many of us have experienced the frustration of knowing we should be exhibiting the qualities of Jesus in our lives, yet we continually fall short. All we can get is the halo. In other words, we know that Jesus is holy and loving, but WE sure are not. And his halo haunts us. Paul wrote a letter to a church that was struggling to live up to the halo of Jesus. Let the "love chapter" give you encouragement today. 1 Corinthians 13 ]]> Mon, 22 Mar 2010 00:00:00 EST http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Christian_Life_Tools/?bcd=3/15/2010
Jesus ended the Sermon on the Mount giving us a portrayal of the final outcome of these two people. One was the wise man who built his house on the rock. The other was the foolish man who built his house on sand. Only one of them can be declared "blessed." The choice is still open today. Jesus is the Rock and his is calling all people to himself so that he can call them "blessed." Let Jesus be your Rock. Matthew 7:24-27 ]]> Mon, 15 Mar 2010 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,
Jim Reed, president
