While the world rages in might for power and control, it is those in the meekness of Christ who will inherit the whole earth.

[Zac Butler @Zacchaeus8]

Jesus reclined at the table with Pharisees, tax collectors, sinners, the marginalized and the spiritually sick, as well as his followers. Let us put away the accusation weapons and pick up the weapon of hospitality.

[Zac Butler @Zacchaeus8]

“Count it JOY when you face trials of various kinds”
“For the Joy set before him he endured the cross”

If 2020 took your joy, you’ve taken your eyes off Christ.

[Zac Butler @Zacchaeus8]

Tell the story of Jesus. It’s the best story.

Two new storage facilities going up in Blue Springs. Consumerism is a plague and materials cannot save. Chew on Isaiah 46.

Playground Proverb: Sin is misleading like the slide. It never fully quenches; leaving you climbing back up the rock wall just to chase it again.

[Zac Butler @Zacchaeus8]

Cowbells and Blue Bell Ice Cream. How do you like to celebrate Christ?

[Zac Butler @Zacchaeus8]

Playground Proverb: like a young child we need the willing gracious hands of the father to keep us joyfully swinging

[Zac Butler @Zacchaeus8]

We have grown accustomed to functioning in extremes. If we are going to learn to live in correct tension we must take serious this time to examine our idolatrous hearts.

[Zac Butler @Zacchaeus8]

We have grown accustomed to escaping from endurance to comfort. Let’s trust the pruning process of this season.

“Stop regarding man in whose nostrils is breath, for of what account is he?” Isaiah 2:22

[Zac Butler @Zacchaeus8]

“If temples smelled of blood, they also smelled of roast meat; they struck a festive and homely note, as well as a sacred.” - C.S. Lewis

[Zac Butler @Zacchaeus8]

Resentment or revenge reveals our natural disposition for justice and desire for a just Judge. At the same time it reveals our need for a “generous Judge” for we too have tempted others into resentment and revenge. Oh how the cross is both just and gracious!

[Zac Butler @Zacchaeus8]

As the plaintiff we will receive justice, as the criminal we will receive pardon. As long as we recognize we are really guilty before God in both cases. What wonderful grace found in the cross of Jesus Christ.
