Don’t Walk Away From the Mirror - James 1:23-24    There’s a certain kind of honesty that only shows up when you’re standing in front of a mirror. Not the mirror you check before you leave the house. I’m talking about the mirror that tells the truth. The mirror that doesn’t care about your title, your age, your résumé, or your excuses. The mirror that shows you you.   James says that hearing God’s Word without doing anything about it is like looking in that mirror, seeing something wrong, and then walking away like you didn’t see a thing.   And family…...

Welcome all my new friends here.     Psalm 34:18 — “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” If God is close to the brokenhearted, then being brokenhearted is not a disqualification. It’s a location where He meets us.   Shalom baby,  Kenn

BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

Psalm 23:4  Family, everybody loves to talk about worship on the mountaintop. When the sun is shining, the bills are paid, the body feels strong, and the future looks bright — oh, we know how to worship then.   But the older I get, the more I realize: the deepest worship doesn’t come from the mountain. It comes from the valley.

WHEN LOVE MEETS BOUNDARIES - 58 show art WHEN LOVE MEETS BOUNDARIES - 58

BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard

Every one of us knows what it feels like to love people who don’t always love us back. Some of the deepest wounds don’t come from strangers — they come from kinfolk. People who share our blood but not our values. People who take our time, drain our peace, and expect access without accountability.   The Bible does not hide this reality. It speaks honestly about takers, users, manipulators, and relatives who bring strife instead of peace.   Today’s message is not about bitterness. It’s about clarity, wisdom, and boundaries that honor God.

Love versus everything else

 

  1. The Bible teaches us that God is love.  Am I right?  1 John 4:16 says:

 

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.” 

 

However, the adversary of God knows this too.  So he does the opposite. The Bible says he comes to kill steal and destroy.

  1. The devil uses the same 3 tricks most of the time and we miss it.  We don’t see it.  
  2. We don’t recognize when we are being used by him to do his work.  It’s either Love or it’s everything else.

 

We don’t know that “friendship with the world is an enmity with God - James 4:4

 

You can’t be worldly and be Godly.  You can’t be left and be right.  You are either hot or cold.  Lukewarm coffee is nasty.  So is a lukewarm spirit.

 

God is love.  We like love.  I like love.  Growing up I couldn’t wait till I got a girlfriend to love.  I used to dream about it all the time.  Were you like that?  I was romantic too.  Couldn’t get a girlfriend to save my life.  I was awkward. I didn’t have any game.  I used to go to skating rink with my friend Chuckie.  Chucky was smooth.  Chuckie could skate like he was flying.  All I wanted back then was to be on the skating rink floor when they had the couples skating. That was going to be fire for me.  Me and her, skating through life together.

That was the extent of my love knowledge back then.  That wasn’t God.  It’s like how we think church is supposed to be but don’t have Gods love in it.
