Eternal Things: January 2012

It's Getting Late. It's Getting Serious. Saturday, January 14, 2012. In the first chapter of the book of Haggai, Haggai is called to speak to the people of Judah regarding their consistent disregard for the house of the Lord, which was lying in ruins at this time. Haggai speaks to them saying,"Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins? Because they can turn our attention inward. The Jews were probably very grateful for having been released from ca...

Eternal Things: The Time To Speak
http://joecrenshaw.blogspot.com/2011/08/time-to-speak.html
It's Getting Late. It's Getting Serious. Saturday, August 20, 2011. The Time To Speak. Time reigned supreme. I had a responsibility; an obligation to my place of employment. The entire drive back to the office, I really struggled with this. Was I just going to let my job responsibility stand in the way of these boys' eternity? Is that even a fair question? In Romans 10:13-15, it says. And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?

It's Getting Late. It's Getting Serious. Thursday, December 17, 2009. Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you-unless indeed you fail the test.". For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.". You must not have it. Pray this prayer. Hopefully Not.But Possibly So. A few things to consider:.

Eternal Things: Feeling Guilty for Feeling Guilty
http://joecrenshaw.blogspot.com/2012/04/feeling-guilty-for-feeling-guilty.html
It's Getting Late. It's Getting Serious. Monday, April 16, 2012. Feeling Guilty for Feeling Guilty. So, when I feel guilty, the problem is NOT that I need to feel less guilty, but that I actually need to see and believe that I'm simply NOT GUILTY! Though I may feel guilty, the truth is this, that "He cancelled the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands.and nailed it to the cross! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire? Now Joshua was ...

It's Getting Late. It's Getting Serious. Sunday, January 31, 2010. Repentance: A Tradition of Words? First of all, what is repentance? I will give what I believe to be a good example of what true repentance looks like. Psalm 51. Read it. David was caught, and immediately fell to His face in anguish, BECAUSE HE KNEW GOD. Anguish? That can't be right; I'm supposed to be happy.FALSE! So where do we go from here? LET'S MAKE WAR WITH OUR FLESH AND OUR SIN! PUT YOUR ARMOR ON AND LET'S GET AFTER IT! For our str...

It's Getting Late. It's Getting Serious. Wednesday, November 10, 2010. Take Up Your Cross. Later we see that both James and John, as well as Peter, drank that very cup. How can we know the cost, count the cost, and follow Him accordingly, when there seems to be no cost? Maybe it IS hard for a rich man to enter His Kingdom! Posted by Joe Crenshaw.

Eternal Things: July 2010
http://joecrenshaw.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
It's Getting Late. It's Getting Serious. Sunday, July 4, 2010. Every time I drive by this church, they have something new and creative on their sign, that shows itself as a desperate attempt to grab peoples' attention, and place them in the pews. The majority of the signs are just plain silly. "Come in for a faith lift;" "The person who is steering the boat does not have time to rock it;" "You Think It's Hot Here? Draw near to God and HE WILL draw near to you.". I would redeem them, but they speak lies a...
