The Big "G" God

The Virgin Birth is unbelievable unless you believe that nothing is impossible with God. But the real argument is not about what Mary was or wasn’t…. it’s about who Jesus is or isn’t. Mary is called the “Mother of God” because her first-born son claimed to be Immanuel, God with us. Jesus wasn’t just “godlike”. He wasn’t “a god” with a small “g”.,, He is God with a big “G”!  He is Creator, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Alpha and Omega, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, the great I AM, the Word become flesh! Jesus is Lord! Being born of a virgin is no big thing for a God this big. -- 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

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

Swearing Church Mice

Be careful what you swear to in front of God and witnesses. Peter boldly declared that he would die before ever denying Christ. He swore to God. But when the soldiers came, he ran like a rodent off a sinking ship along with all the other disciples. None of them were ready to die for Jesus just yet. Later, when asked if he knew Jesus, “Peter the mouth” became “Peter the mouse” and swore in a whole different way. We can easily become just like Peter. A little denial here… a little silence there… and the next thing you know, we too have become mere church mice. When was the last time you spoke up for Jesus outside the church walls? -- Friar Tuck’s Occasional Wisdom
