Now that the cooler is empty, the noise has subsided, and the smoke has cleared, perhaps it’s time to ask yourself in that heart of hearts, “Am I truly free?” And if you cannot answer in the affirmative with integrity, God has an offer for you: genuine freedom. This freedom cannot be gained through warfare, or elections, or vast wealth. It is a gift that can only be obtained by asking the Giver… and if He sets you free, you will be free indeed! – Friar Tuck’s Occasional Wisdom

PRIORITIES

Many Christians today want to drink from the cup of salvation, but they balk at lifting it up to others. The American church is top heavy with those who’ve read all the latest books and attended all the best bible conferences with all the coolest contemporary personalities.... but who have never led another person to Jesus. We gorge ourselves on knowledge in a world starving for the gospel. We pay highly trained professional clergy to enlighten us, edify us, feed us, and entertain us.... but they are often reluctant to speak of repentance, conversion, sacrifice, or the cost of discipleship for fear of losing us. Lord, have mercy! -- Friar Tuck’s Occasional Wisdom

Redeeming Our Trials

The Joseph of Genesis went from luxury and ease, to slavery and hardship almost overnight. However, he teaches us that the worst this world can dish out will often be used by God to accomplish His great purposes. Fear no evil when you walk through the valley of the shadow of death. God is with us. Trust in his sovereign plan. He may be sending you on ahead… positioning you so that, years from now, you can be of comfort and help to others in their time of great need. It may even be someone who has angered you and hurt you greatly. -- Friar Tuck’s Occasional Wisdom

The Way God Provides

God rescued His people from Pharaoh’s army and certain death by providing for them a way through parted waters. By faith, they walked the narrow way. They had come to a place of desperation and saw no other way to be saved. Very few complained about it being the only way. When death comes knocking and someone offers us a way of escape, only the foolish will protest. The way to eternal life that God provides is still narrow. It’s the Jesus way. The wise and the desperate seldom complain about it being the only way. They simply take it and are saved. -- Friar Tuck’s Occasional Wisdom
