Pivotal Words – Giving From the Heart (part 2)

Proper understanding of giving requires proper understanding of the covenants.  We are to receive freely and give freely, led by the Spirit, not reluctantly from guilt or obligation.

Pivotal Words – Tithing … or Giving? (part 1)

Few topics are more sensitive than money.  The tithe supported the theocracy of Israel, but in the new covenant, giving is from the heart, an act of individual worship.

Pivotal Words – Therefore (part 2)

Throughout his epistles, Apostle Paul describes all our Father has done for us in Christ.  Paul then uses that as a foundation to describe how we should then live.

Pivotal Words – Therefore (part 1)

Often overlooked, this empowering word shows how what God has done can transform our lives and conform us into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Pivotal Words – Worship (part 2)

True worship always produces the fruit of service, offered heartily unto the Lord.  As living sacrifices, we serve by doing the most redemptive, constructive, and honoring things for others.

Pivotal Words – Worship (part 1)

This glorious word means to bow down, to prostrate yourself before the One Who is greater.  It’s a mindset rooted in trust, a determined choice that says, “Not my will, but yours be done”.

Pivotal Words – Obedience is Love (part 2)

Not a word of compliance or conformity, obedience works a miracle in our lives.  It transforms us into people who can do the impossible … love others the way Jesus loves us.

Pivotal Words – Obedience (part 1)

Obedience means to listen under.  It’s a word of relationship, of trust, of love.  Through it, we become all our Father created us to be, unique expressions of His life in us.

Pivotal Words – Let This Mind Be In You (part 2)

When we give God permission to work in us, He changes how we view ourselves.  He gives us His perspective on living as servants in obedience to Him.

Pivotal Words – Let (part 1)

Let is an action word.  In Scripture, it’s a command to remove an obstacle and allow something to happen.  It’s a point of spiritual warfare, where we must choose to permit God to work in our lives.
