By Josh White | Published: April 7, 2010 | 1 Comment
“Where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.” John 19:18 It now becomes clear that the primary work of Jesus on the cross was not to save us from retribution, but to bring us into a relationship with the Father by the restoration of His [...]

The Need For A Center Part 1

“Where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.” John 19:18 As believers we often ignore the fact that without a center we have no balance, no equilibrium. Sadly, believers today tend to drift from what really matters. Within our fallen nature, we move away from [...]

Born Again From Above

“Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 I believe there is a lot of confusion today around the phrase “born again.” First of all, there is such a stigma attached to the title “Born Again Christian.” [...]

Emptiness to Fullness

“And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.” John 1:16 “Once I knew only darkness and stillness…my life was without past or future…but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.” This came from [...]

“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work” John 4:34 I received a great question in an email about a month ago and would love to share it with you. It was in regards to “life’s meaning” and “living for God’s pleasure”. Q: I don’t know [...]

I Wanna be Adored

“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” Colossians 3:2 How beautifully this verse unveils the great paradox that the heavenly-minded are of the most earthly use, while the earthly minded are of no use at all. Heavenly thoughts humble us by putting the gaze of our soul on the One [...]

Celebrating Others Victories

“But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.” James 3:14-17 Our longings are often fixed upon a deeply inflated view of our own self-worth. The greatest egos notoriously struggle most intensely with [...]

Blind with Rage

By Josh White | Published: January 27, 2010 | 1 Comment
“Be angry, and do not sin: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:26-27 Sin blinds and nothing darkens the vision of the soul like hatred. How quickly anger turns to bitterness, bitterness to hate and hate to wrath. The Christian should be marked by [...]

A State of Indifference

By Josh White | Published: January 20, 2010 | 1 Comment
“The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing.” Proverbs 13:4 A lack of motivation has come to mark much of our populace. It is almost as if we are so controlled by felt needs that in spite of the desire to do the responsible thing we become incapacitated by what feels like daunting [...]

“When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” Mark 8:34 This week I received a great question from someone about Surrender and what it actually means I thought I [...]
