A dynamic look at the Scriptures. Examining who Jesus is, who we are, and what it all means. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thomas-carter4/support
Jesus had compassion. That's why we have compassion. The key is to use it. To be compassionate!
We are all slices from the same bread. All parts of the same body. And we belong to each other!
When we see each other the way God sees us, we can all be friends and love as He loves!
It is appointed unto men once to die--then the judgment. Jesus kept that appointment. The judgment has been rendered. Not a death sentence, but an everlasting life sentence!
I really don't buy into the "Cosmic Elevator" where "good" people go up and "bad" people go down after they die. Here's why...
It's so important to understand the Spirit of Sonship, and our relationship with God--our heavenly Father who loves us, and us as His beloved Son in whom God is well pleased.
First was the heart transplant. Then the circumcision of the heart. Now the New Commandment for the New Man: Give your heart away!
The end of one Rant series, leading into the beginning of another. Our response to God's heart burning in our chests is to be an Organ Donor and give that heart away!
Seeing yourself and others the way God sees you and them is what happens when your heart burns in your chest!
Testing the height, and length, and depth, and breadth of His love shows us that we only know the outer fringe of His glory!
When you are totally consumed by the fire--when your heart burns in your chest--what exactly happens?
If your eye (I) be single, your body will be filled with light, and your heart will burn!
I want to talk about the Divine influence upon the heart, and it's reflection in our lives!
God is the King of kings and Lord of lords. We are the kings and lords--a kingdom of priests equipped and empowered to rule and reign on this earth!
Believe it or not, it's all about love! We continue our Rant series on the book of 1 John.

Sin is not the problem. The Lamb of God took away the sin of the world. That happened. That's a done deal. Sin is not an issue for God. Forgiven. Taken away. Dealt with. It's an issue for US though, because we are still so conscious of it. We focus on it and dwell on it. When we really ought to just lay it aside and be as done with it as God is!

Here's the thing about sin: When you are born of God and His seed is in you... you can't sin. Because sin is unbelief. So, by definition, a believer cannot sin. You can't unbelieve if you're a believer. And that seed--the seed of Abraham--is all about faith. Because Abraham is the father of faith. And faith... works by love. It's all about love. Not sinning means... loving! Believing in love. Letting God love you and loving Him back by loving people!

Once upon a time there was a man who thought he could climb the fig tree--the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the tree of death--in order to see Jesus. But Jesus had a different plan. He wasn't concerned with what Zacchaeus could do. He simply wanted to dwell in Zacchaeus's house. When you're young, or immature, think you can do things on your own. You need milk.

In the garden of Eden there were two trees--the Tree of Life, and the tree of death (the tree of knowledge of good and evil). I believe the tree of knowledge of good and evil was a fig tree. The same fig tree that Jesus cursed because it couldn't bear fruit. Then, in the true paradise of God in the book of Revelation, there is only one tree left. The Tree of Life!
