Tyler Greene “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” – Ephesians 5:1-2 At its root, our greatest problem is an identity crisis. The problem occurs when we confuse our calling with our identity. […]

Rande Greene “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” – Galatians 1:10 We become the servant of whomever we are trying to please. Our well-being is controlled […]

Rande Greene “Hear my prayer, O LORD; give ear to my pleas for mercy! In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness! “ – Psalm 143:1 Prayer is a spiritual discipline. It is a way that God communicated a measure of His grace to us. There are spiritual paths I won’t walk until I pray. […]

Rande Greene “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one […]

Rande Greene “Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” Jesus […]

Rande Greene “For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful.” – 1 Corinthians 14:14 “Unfruitful” has also been interpreted “barren”. The tongues speaker is blessed spiritually without any understanding of the words they spoke meant. Speaking in a Spirit-inspired language is not a product of the mind. The […]

Rande Greene “And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were utterly astounded, 52  for they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.” – Mark 6:51-52 They experienced the gracious help of God in people physically being fed. They had been nourished by the miraculous […]

Rande Greene The most important thing we can do is keep our eyes fixed upon Jesus. “Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home. After sending them home, he went up into the hills by […]

Rande Greene Fear keeps us from obeying God. “What if it wasn’t really God speaking to me? If I step out and do this, what if I fail or it turns out badly for me? What if God doesn’t come through for me?” Some of the highest and longest bridges in the U.S. offer special […]

Garrison Greene God calls us to share the Gospel with those around us. We may feel inadequate to do so, or even disqualified because of our past. However, God supplies what He demands and His grace is sufficient for our apparent inadequacies.

Rande Greene Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master and in high favor, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper. Now the Syrians on one of their raids had carried […]

Rande Greene Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to […]

Rande Greene “To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, […]

Rande Greene “Come, let us return to the LORD; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him. Let us know; […]

Rande Greene “But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you” – Acts 26:16 The call was to “rise”. The first […]

Rande Greene “With what shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the […]

Rande Greene “I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit—that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to […]

Rande Greene “Once when he was eating with them, he commanded them, “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised, as I told you before. John baptized with water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” – Acts 1:4-5 God has gifts for […]

Rande Greene “Jesus answered, “Scripture says, A person cannot live on bread alone but on every word that God speaks.'” – Matthew 4:4 This was a clarification of value. Bread is a good thing. Bread is a blessing from God. God gave His covenant people bread in the wilderness. We are taught by our Lord […]

Rande Greene “Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.” – John 13:1 We must continue to “look to Jesus”. He is our salvation. […]
