Faith Becomes Sight

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. — 1 Timothy 6:12

Paul said, The only thing that counts is faith working through love. Fighting the good fight of faith means redirecting our trust back to God again and again. For that, we're rewarded with a life of stability. But it doesn't mean the fight is easy. Walking by faith can be exhausting sometimes. There is a new level of relief and rest when faith becomes sight.

Chasing Bubbles

It's common to hear about bubbles in financial and real estate markets. Bubbles form when asset classes climb beyond reasonable fundamentals. There's a sense of "This will end badly, but maybe not today." Why do we tell ourselves this? Greed? FOMO? Competition? When justifiable hope turns to wishful thinking, we're no longer building on stable ground. Where else have we moved into wishful thinking? It will end badly. But maybe not today.

Keeping An Open Door

How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty! Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. ⏤ Psalm 84:1, 10

For this, Jesus laid down his life. The temple curtain was torn. A door was opened that no one can shut. The city gates are never closed.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life. (Rev. 22:17)
