Patrick Roberts's Articles in * Christianity *

Show All|Display Category|Title|Newest|Oldest
  • Working for and Hearing From God
    Christ commands His saints to pray, so that is exactly the work we should be doing, though the nature of this work is different from the common, worldly understanding of work.
  • Waiting for God First, the American Way Second
    It would be very American of us to take God's kingdom into our own hands.
  • Unheard-of Freedom to Fellowship
    Behold the divine brilliance of God's new Christ-centered standard. He sent His Son to be the Open Door to previously unheard-of freedom to surrender.
  • Unexpected Joy Is Pure Joy
    Expected joys can be just as real as unexpected ones but, even still, they are only expected to a limited extent. If we remember a taste too well, then that is a sure sign that we are about to get tired of it. But we adore certain flavors for their consistently hidden zest, which never fails to sneak up on our unsuspecting palates. Our most treasured joys surprise us again and again for their exceedingly pure quality.
  • The Sufficiency of Christ
    Christ Himself is the overarching First Rule. He envelops our lives in the workplace, marriage, familiar relations and (especially) in the way we do church. The Son of man is the singular Focus of our lives, working Himself out day after day as He patiently teaches us how to deal with every secondary concern.
  • The Secret to Knowing Jesus Christ
    The secret to knowing Christ is to let Him reveal Himself however He desires. And the secret to knowing any eternal mystery grounded in Christ is to surrender to Him so He can teach us whenever and however He knows is best. When in doubt, the secret to knowing God is to give up our right to know anything about anything.
  • The Ridiculousness of Christ's Resurrection
    Christ gives His people beautiful hope. His victorious divinity is devastatingly powerful.
  • That Christ Would Use Us
    God is determined to accomplish His otherworldly goals. He has always and will always prevail over mankind’s mortal restraints.
  • Spiritual Giftings (and Fruitings)
    Christ equips the different members of His church for different purposes.
  • Spirit Led Obedience Here and Now
    Ambitious churchgoers tend to assume too much about their own spirituality as they plan for their far off, unknown destinations.
  • Simple Obedience: Obey God Wherever You Are
    As water runs down to the next lowest place, so obedience and the direction of our faith-walks should be similarly uncomplicated for us. We should obey the Lord wherever we are, however the free-flowing gravity of the Holy Spirit compels us.
  • Redeeming the Time
    The more we surrender our time to God, the less time will seem like an oppressive, systematic partitioning of days, hours and minutes.
  • Reconciled in Christ, Down to the Last Drop
    Christ is pointing us toward a spiritual goal that hits much closer to home than we might expect. He is guiding all willing followers toward a heavenly quality of reconciliation.
  • Missions Can Be a False Spiritual Security Blanket
    Up until recently, my plans to become a worldwide missionary were my spiritual security blanket. I comforted myself with the presumption that I had a guaranteed position as “spiritual superstar” anywhere else in the world (as long as it was someplace where people didn’t know me).
  • Less Stuff = More Time and Energy for God's Kingdom
    We can get by with less stuff. This will help us to spend more time and energy on God's kingdom goals.
  • Joy Is Like a Train
    One major way Christ shows Himself to be God is by surprising us with joy. The joy that sneaks up and surprises us is the truest kind of joy.
  • Joy and God's Other Unexpected Gifts
    There is every desirable, heavenly asset in Christ, such as freedom, joy, grace, mercy, contentment, salvation, Godliness and love. Every heavenly gift takes root and is best expressed in Christ Himself.
  • It’s Not How We Rehearse, But How We Live That Counts
    God, in His wisdom, requires a soul-deep quality of character from us rather than anything we can manufacture on our own. This is reflected in His simple command for us, which is to work diligently with whatever grace He sees fit to give us. As we work with the grace He allots us right now, we will demonstrate our belief that He knows what He is doing. This is authentic, God-honoring faith.
  • God’s Ways Are Above Men's Ways (or so the saying goes)
    God’s W With liberality we churchgoers throw around the phrase, “God’s ways are higher than men’s ways.” Because this saying is so uncomplicated and, especially after we have repeated it so many times, it seems unbelievable that we still fail to understand it. One indication that we do not understand this saying, “God's ways are higher than men’s ways,” is our inability to live it as everyday, relevant truth. ays Are Above Men's Ways (or so the saying goes)
  • God versus Americans
    God can save any people, no matter how far fallen they may seem. He continues even these days to show up to unsuspecting people in unexpected ways.
  • God Makes Our Prayers Effective
    As we become familiar with God's mind for us we become increasingly aware of spiritual realities.
  • God Answers Prayer on His Terms
    We cannot help but approach God on His terms. We breathe His air, live by whatever life He provides, and we speak to Him through this thing called "prayer," which He invented.
  • Freedom in Christ-Consumption
    Christ will teach us how to honor God in Spirit, in truth and in wholehearted dedication as He causes us to leave our old selves behind.
  • Freed Worship
    To follow Christ is to embrace a childlike appreciation for the divine. People who dare to dive into the straightforward Truth are rewarded with a new appreciation for bottomless mystery.
  • Flesh Versus Spirit
    The Spirit and the flesh do not go together easily. To the person whose heart is affected by this world, God's heavenly answers seem too inconvenient to accept without at least a little tweaking.
  • Everyday Faith
    What good are all the riches in the world to a wife when her husband’s heart is still far from her? All the shiny anniversary gifts in the world from a cold, unloving husband are less than worthless to that man’s wife.
  • Christ-Centered Time Management
    God so drastically reduces everything that we once considered gain so we come to count all our old things, even our life, as loss in comparison with the greatness of knowing Jesus Christ.
  • Christ Wants the Whole Package
    God invests in people whose hope is no longer in worldly riches, but rather only in Christ. Such people are righteous in God's sight.
  • Christ our Rabbi
    Our relationship with Christ lives and grows like our relationships with other people. At the same time it is divinely unique, overflowing eternal significance.
  • Christ Our Motivation and Agent for Change
    There is no better invested life than one that is consumed in the Master's plans. Christ will redeem our tainted, material possessions by using them to accomplish His spiritual objectives.
  • Christ or Cake?
    Jesus Christ embodies such an infinitude of variety that it becomes difficult for His followers to do anything by rote or just to go through the motions. God's people in general should feel ill-at-ease with anything too contrived.
  • Christ Is God's Answer to Our Prayers
    As we mature into Christ, we will find out more and more what a pleasing, filling, comforting, encouraging, humbling and empowering thing it is to know Him.
  • About Man-Made Religion
    Could it have been God who inspired this drunken stupor called “religion?” No, God would not encourage men toward something that makes them to forget Him.
