This morning we read the Christmas story from Luke's gospel. Merry Christmas from all of us here at Thursday Quick Thought! …it's just me…but still…Merry Christmas!
This morning we discuss answering a fool according to his folly, but also not answering a fool according to his folly.
This morning we discuss different things we pick up instead of picking up our cross to follow Jesus.
This is one way to ensure you don't waste your life.
“Pray without ceasing” also includes setting aside time alone for focussed prayer.
“What binds the true church together is not a task but a person.”
This morning we discuss the attitude of Job vs the attitude of entitlement.
My final thought from my study of the book of Nehemiah: hold fast to the love of Jesus.
Do we think as highly of God as our kids think of us?
“Faith over fear” does not mean the absence of fear. It just means your faith is greater than your fear.
Never use the word “never” and always avoid the word “always.” Great relationship advice that Paul completely ignores.
Because of our short memories, we need to continually step back and remember the faithfulness of our God. When we do that, we will see that praise is the right response.
“I saw God, among the absurd and ironic, in what made no sense to the conventional wisdom of my expectations.”
This morning's Quick Thought was inspired by a conversation on The Happy Rant Podcast. We'll talk a bit about it, then we'll listen to the clip.
This morning we reflect on how the difficult times in our lives are not wasted. God directs our path by both opening and closing doors.
We need to take God seriously and ourselves way more lightly.
Godly community is something we do intentionally. One of the ways we achieve it is through sacrifice.
Even when we mess up, God keeps the covenant that was made with us through Christ.
Ours is a God who multiplies the little we have to offer.
Is the fact that God is always with us good news or just anxiety inducing?
Just because you are free does not mean you have no responsibility.
This morning we talk about how once you see Jesus, you can't unsee Him.
What it is that grounds us as we choose our own adventure?
We often remember our sin and forget His forgiveness.
The joy of the Lord is your strength! But…why? And what does that even mean?
When we trust in God as our refuge, we can remain calm in the storm.
God doesn't always answer “yes, no or not yet.” Sometimes He just promises to be with us.
God's not mad at you, He's just got something better.
Nobody's perfect…so why do we pretend to be?
God is our patient, forgiving, and intimate Father who loves us despite our performance.
Thank God we don't get what we deserve! It is by grace we have been saved.
Character matters more than accomplishments.
This week we discuss Jesus' call for us to love our enemies.
God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts, and His ways are higher than our ways.
Jesus promises to help us live freely and lightly if we walk with Him and work with Him.
This morning on Thursday Quick Thought we read a section from Judah Smith's “Jesus Is…” book and consider the meaning of life.
Do we come to God looking for answers to questions or looking for loopholes?
Paul tells Philemon that the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through him. Are we the kind of people who are draining or refreshing?
To Jesus, it wasn't just about right and wrong, it was also about pride and humility.
You don't change people by judging them, you change people by loving them.
If you are falling apart under the surface, Jesus invites you to find rest in Him.
Jesus promises to be with you always. But who does it apply to? Do you have to be perfect for Him to stay? What does it even mean?
I've got no answers For heartbreaks or cancers But a Savior who suffers them with me
Don't just love people to check a box, but really be there.
If you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Heavenly Father give you the Holy Spirit.
Don't be like Uncle Rico. Live in the present and trust that God's plan is better than your plan.
What if freedom isn't found in escaping, but in staying?
Though you may feel insignificant, God's love makes you significant.
Do you know God conceptually or do you know Him relationally?
We need to lead with grace when we don't have all the information…which is almost 100% of the time.
