The title reminds me of an old song with the verse, “What does love got to do with it?”. Why you may ask? #itisfinished #truth #darlenegaston #thedoorisopen #christian #christianauthors #christianity #newcovenant #grace vs #law #mylife #corebeliefs #righteousness #Jesus #theCross #celebrate

6 of 10–In my book, The Door Is Open, I discuss several signs of antichrist or anti-messiah behaviors, beginning with the scripture from Matthew 23:4-38 in The Message translation. Let’s delve into the sixth sign, as described in verses 15 of Matthew 23…

This post is a blast from the past, but goes along with the meme or video I created for today. One of the things I find most Christians do, because I myself did it too…

Grace is God’s portion. The beautiful place he calls each of us to live in. We are like the moon shining from the sun’s light not our own will trying to produce the light. #graceis #grace #godsportion #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #freedom #wideopenspaces #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus
Have you ever felt like you were being led to a conclusion on a topic? I am thankful for my memories of a teacher, Ms. Cowan, who made sure we tackled subjects from all sides. She wanted us to be critical thinkers not just re-writing what we have been taught… #grace #graceis #thisisme #newcovenant #christianity #christianauthor #whoyouare #whoGodis #slipperyslope #grace #godsportion #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #freedom #wideopenspaces #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus #bothfeetin
The fearful word grace is what started things eight years ago. Grace. Beautiful, wonderful, full of love–grace. For some reason grace, within the church (many times), is put on a leash or in a box. I think I prefer the box analogy…because we don’t want to put God in a box, do we? #grace #graceis #thisisme #newcovenant #christianity #christianauthor #whoyouare #whoGodis #slipperyslope #grace #godsportion #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #freedom #wideopenspaces #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus
Eight years ago when we were told we had to leave the church we had gone to for the last nine years and not come back, many people who still attended were handed a sermon on CD regarding the “slippery slope of grace”. The truth is there is no “slippery slope of grace”. #slipperyslope #grace #godsportion #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #freedom #wideopenspaces #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus
Colossians 2:10 “…in Him”. That little word in is ‘en’ in the Greek. Here is this little word’s definition, which brings so much meaning:.#simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #meditation #journaling #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus #Colossians2 #heneverleavesme
Fear (phobos -noun) causes actions from all people. Just as faith (pistis -noun) causes actions from all people. If we can first see fear or faith as a thing which then moves us into an action (result-verb) then this will make much more sense to us…#simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #meditation #journaling #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #fear #faith #love #Jesus #Romans8 #heneverleavesme
My #heart and #Faith intertwined as one with God’s heart. A #newcreation I am in #Christ. Faith is God’s persuasion, a thing, a gift he gives that we accept or choose not to. This changes our perception as we accept this faith gift of persuasion and causes us then to believe and/or trust in what God has persuaded us of. Which is belief and is an action (verb-pisteuó). This #process of changing our perception is known as #repentance. What an amazing thing. #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #meditation #journaling #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou
#Faith, the word, the deeper meaning has me this season. Our perception of this word is important to #believers. Faith is God’s persuasion, a thing, a gift he gives that we accept or choose not to. This changes our perception as we accept this faith gift of persuasion and causes us then to believe and/or trust in what God has persuaded us of. Which is belief and is an action (verb-pisteuó). This #process of changing our perception is known as #repentance. What an amazing thing. #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #christianauthor #meditation #journaling #infraredsauna time #jesusloveme #jesuslovesyou
#Faith in the #kingdomofgod is so much different than this worlds beliefs. God has been talking faith again with me and our understanding of it as humans. This is where I want to start with what he has shared with me. I love going back to what I wrote in my books and then being amazed at what I wrote and then God helping me understand and unwind more. ❤️💙❤️This #Christmas season let go and let God unwindld belief systems and let him teach you something new that is older than time. #faith #love #joy #peace not #fear
