Sugarcoat (Quick Read)
We don’t sugarcoat the truth of Jesus at Reform Church. It’s already sweeter than any coat we could put on it. Whoever said the truth hurts? Impossible. There’s no bad news with Jesus.
Why Perfected Love Casts Out Fear – Part 3 (Quick Read)
Psalms 34:4 (NKJV) I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.
If Jesus already delivered us from everything we could ever be afraid of, and yet we still fear something, that fear cannot be based in reality. We are seeing something incorrectly if we are in fear. Both cannot be true at the same time. Jesus cannot have delivered you from all your fears already at the cross and you still have a valid fear. True, people can still fear things, but it is no longer a valid fear. It’s merely something about the cross they aren’t realizing right now.

Why Perfected Love Casts Out Fear – Part 2 (Quick Read)
Psalms 34:4 (NKJV) I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.
If Jesus has delivered us from everything we could possibly be afraid of, then fear can be defined as simply some absence of the knowledge of what Jesus did.

Why Perfected Love Casts Out Fear (Quick Read)
Psalms 34:4 (NKJV) I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.
That verse is referring to what Jesus did when He came. He delivered us from everything that we could possibly fear. So it’s no wonder that when our minds become perfected in what Jesus did, it casts out ALL fear.

They Don’t Know You (Quick Read)
Don’t let any man tell you who you are or what you have to expect in life. Why? Because the Bible says clearly that THEY DON’T KNOW YOU! The only way to tell who you are is to see Jesus and relate with Him. And a natural man doesn’t take any of that into account. So refuse to listen to the opinions of men and set your eyes strictly on Jesus. He knows you.
1 Corinthians 2:14-15 (NKJV) But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
Bed Of Roses (Quick Read)
People try to say that life is not all sunshine and rainbows (even most believers say this). They try to say it’s not all a bed of roses. Well mine is. Yes, and I’m not in denial and I’m not living in some fantasy land. I’m just lifting my eyes a little higher than yours are, seeing every spiritual blessing I have, in Heaven, in me. Call it a bed of roses or call it what you like, but I’ve got it.
Psalms 23:2 (KJV) He maketh me to lie down in green pastures… [pasture = inheritance]
Despite Or Because (Quick Read)
Believers, stop trying to praise God DESPITE your circumstance. If your circumstances are that bad, then God doesn’t deserve any praise or thanks.
Carved In Stone (Quick Read)
Any time you pass by a cemetery or a memorial site, there’s not a single name carved in stone that you can’t raise. Not a single one.
Three Quarters (Quick Read)
Most Christians say about the Bible “I’ve read the back of the book and there’s a good ending!” What blasphemy. They say it ignorantly, but what horrible blasphemy.
Picture Of Perfect Health (Quick Read)
I’ve got glory in me. I’ve got everlasting life in me. Shoot, I’ve got enough to sustain the whole universe, much less my body. If you ask me, no matter what my body seems like at the moment, I’m the picture of perfect health. How could anyone with eyes to see come to any other conclusion?
In Their Own Eyes (Quick Read)
When it comes to moral and political matters, most people are activists and spokespersons for what they believe is right. Whether republican or democrat, most people you see are fighting for what they believe is moral.
The Cross Or The Resurrection (Quick Read)
Jesus, on the cross, is our example of everything He saved us from. Jesus, in His resurrection, is an example of everything the cross has provided to us.

Positive Thinking (Quick Read)
Positive thinking is not the same thing as Christ-centered thinking, but when you get Christ-centered in your thinking, you’re going to feel pretty positive.
Outer Space (Quick Read)
“When people watch documentaries about outer space and the universe, they say it makes them feel so small. Not me. A documentary on the bounds of the universe is just a documentary on my jurisdiction.”
Joshua 1:3 (NKJV) Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you…
The Past – Part 2 (Quick Read)
In regards to the “cherishing memories” post a few days ago: If you’re getting to know Jesus, the Bible says you’re being transformed from glory to glory. That means from you are transformed from one state of glory to an increased state of glory, and so on, and so on. That means that nothing you’ve experienced in the past is better than the potential manifestations you can experience in your future.
The Past (Quick Read)
Cherishing memories and looking longingly at the past is sheer ungodliness. It’s an admission that we think there is some good thing in our past that we can’t have now. There’s no such thing for a believer.
The Life Of God Is For All! (Quick Read)
Ephesians 4:17-18 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart…
A Different Instrument (Quick Read)
Trying to find out who you are in Christ by what you see is like trying to measure the temperature with a ruler. You need a different instrument to see spiritual things. His name is the Holy Spirit. You need to listen to Him. He’ll tell you who you are and what you have in Christ. He’ll tell you the things your eyes are not able to.
The Conviction Of The Holy Spirit (Quick Read)
John 16:8-9 (NKJV) And when He [the spirit] has come, He will convict the world of sin… because they do not believe in Me…

How Much Hurt? (Quick Read)
How bad should you feel after you do something wrong?
The Same Principle (Quick Read)
If someone told you that you had to do something to prove your trust in Jesus before you could receive salvation, would you believe that? Hopefully not. We believe that we receive salvation by faith in Jesus alone. Works follow later as a result, but are not a prerequisite for salvation, right? And yet, in the church today we teach that you need to give a percentage of your income in order to prove your trust in God, THEN you’ll receive blessing in your finances. Sounds like a double standard to me.
How To Measure? (Quick Read)
Revelation 1:17-18 (KJV Strong’s)And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not… I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen…
Birthdays (When You’re Immortal) (Quick Read)
It’s funny that when you have eternal life and know what that means — when you take it literally — it sort of messes up the milestone of having a birthday.

Heavenly Minded (Quick Read)
Ever heard someone say “I don’t want to be so heavenly minded that I’m no earthly good.“ Well, the very good that the earth needs is heaven in you. So go ahead and mind it.
The Fourth Man (Quick Read)
It’s funny how most Christian music feels the need to include verses about their struggles against “the waves,” “the fire,” and “their mountains” like that’s normal. Struggle may be common in the experience of today’s average believer… but that doesn’t mean it’s normal.
Do We Need To Apologize To God? (Quick Read)
Do we need to apologize to God when we do something wrong? In short, no.

Thank God For That Day! (Quick Read)
There may be struggles you’re going through. There may be heartache your dealing with. There may be sickness or pain you are experiencing for now. But don’t worry, there is a day when all of that can disappear. There is a day when all your tears can be wiped away, a day when all sorrow can be removed, a day when all sickness and pain can forever dissipate. There is a day when we can experience heaven in all of its glory. Thank God for that day! And of course we know what day I am speaking of, right?
How To Perceive Death – Part 2 (Quick Read)
We posted yesterday about the raising of the dead. Also the healing of the sick, etc. But how does one access these things? How does one see these things come to pass in their life? Easy! It will take some time depending on your learning, but easy! The Gospel does it. Just learn the truth of what Jesus actually provided and when you grow in that understanding (that’s called faith), the life of God inside of you (if you’re a believer), springs out!

How To Perceive Death (Quick Read)
Has anyone you’ve known ever “passed away”? Did you know that it’s no different than if they’d simply caught a mild cold? It’s no different. Death isn’t anymore permanent than the flu or falling down and scratching your knee. Jesus died for all, which encompasses sickness, hurt, and death. It’s no problem. And if you get to know the real Jesus, you’d realize that there’s nothing that is a problem for you anymore!
