Why did God kill the firstborns of Egypt? Justin Khoe 2024-02-20 | Did I miss anything? 👇🏽Jesus made an astonishing claim that has really helped me make more sense of the Old Testament..."You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me"Get that?The scriptures (which at the time, was ONLY the Old Testament) bears witness to Jesus!So what story should we look at next?
Waiting on God for a spouse? Justin Khoe 2024-02-17 | ❤️ + comment "amen" if this is your prayer today!
Why did God require child sacrifice? Justin Khoe 2024-02-16 | This insight has unlocked Bible study for me...That often, God teaches through CONTRASTThat is to say... that the main point is often the OPPOSITE of what the narrative suggestsHere's a great exampleThink of the parable of the "unrighteous judge" (Luke 18)Story is told of an unrighteous judge who doesn't care for about God or what people think...A woman is wronged and pleads for helpThe judge IGNORES her.But... this widow is PERSISTENTSome think that this was meant to reflect God...and I guess it was... through CONTRASTHere's how Jesus summarizes that story:"Will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
How can you have the assurance of salvation? Justin Khoe 2024-02-13 | Let's not let theological constructs get in the way of the plain reading of Scripture
God Cant be in the Presence of sin (LIES) Justin Khoe 2024-02-11 | Why make this video?I have met too many people traumatized by this rhetoric..."God cannot be in the presence of sin"While I'm guessing people say this in the hopes that those around them might change their foolish behavior (which, side note, yes, stop living foolishly)...... it doesn't actually help anyone who is a slave to sinIf one who is enslaved to sin believes that God abandons them while theyre trapped in sin... how do you expect them to work their way out of slavery?It literally doesn't work like that!!!
What if God wants you to do less, not more? Justin Khoe 2024-02-07 | What if God wants you to do less, not more?
Assurance of salvation Justin Khoe 2024-02-04 | How do you have assurance?Simple, through Jesus."And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life."
Steadfast Justin Khoe 2024-02-03 | Check this out 👇🏽Psalms 107 shares this line several times... which means it's REALLY important (v6, v13, v19, v28)"Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress."The chapter basically goes like this...Israel screwed upThey cried to the LordHe delivered them(repeat ad nauseam)Here's how the chapter concludes"Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the LORD."Notice this. God's love is... STEADFASTSynonyms for steadfast are as follows:dedicated, faithful, inflexible, intense, relentless, resolute, rigid, single-minded, stubborn, unflinching, unswerving, unyieldingHis love is... STEADFAST
Jesus is not your personal lord and savior Justin Khoe 2024-02-02 | "It is not good that man should be alone"There's a broader way that this can be applied than JUST the life partner way...As the people of God, we were meant to exist in community WITH each otherLet's not forsake the assembly of the believers
Reckkless things Jesus says... pt1 Justin Khoe 2024-01-27 | What's something "reckless" that Jesus says? 👇🏽
The simplicity of the Gospel Justin Khoe 2024-01-26 | Check it out...Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.Romans 6:3-4
Here’s some GOOd news! Justin Khoe 2024-01-26 | For the record. God does NOT abandon His children when they need Him most!
Bad news re: self-righteousness Justin Khoe 2024-01-25 | When you trust in your own works for righteousness...... what you really have is self-righteousness... which is another way of saying, no righteousness at all

Dont spit on the gospel Justin Khoe 2024-01-23 | Confession time...I didn't always have clarity on what the "gospel" was...Well, not exactly true... I knew the "right" answer1 Corinthians 15 - The death, burial, and subsequent resurrection of Jesus... duh!But I didn't know why that mattered.And so, instead, I preached about how we are meant to live in light of Jesus dying and living againMy emphasis was all about the right way to live in response to the "gospel"And that's cool, but...I now know this➡️ our RESPONSE to the gospel is NOT the gospelour response is important... but it is NOT the gospelInadvertently, i was spitting on the true gospel by emphasizing what I thought others RESPONSE to the gospel was
Faith before feelings Justin Khoe 2024-01-22 | Don't get it twisted...Faith comes before the feeling...But as you are grounded in faith... the feelings eventually transform.
God doesnt look at your performance... Justin Khoe 2024-01-21 | Your value is rooted in this, that YOU are God's child
A prayer for burnout Justin Khoe 2024-01-20 | comment "amen" if this prayer blessed you!a number of years ago, I was completely burnt outhere's what I learned (and it took a few years)i found out that my identity and security as a child of God was built on the wrong foundationrather than accepting the truth about what God said about me, I thought I had to earn itmy standing as a child of God was predicated on my behaviourperform well and I had the feeling of securitybut when my performance dipped... i was in jepordythis eventually became a weight I couldn't bearand then i heard the gospeli learned what it looked like to practically lay my burdens down at His feet and what true Rest looked likelet me be real with youlife has gotten harder in many ways -- the demands have only increasedbuti still have peace, i still have that restbecause i have a firm foundation. his name is JesusIf you want to learn more, text wave1 to 808-204-4372
Frustrated with God? Justin Khoe 2024-01-19 | Breaking it down... 👇🏽Frustration is often a byproduct of an unmet expectation...But here's the important question...What if our expectations are UNJUSTIFIED?In other words, what if the expectations we place on how God will work are simply false?Scripture says God's ways are "higher" than our ways, and His thoughts are "higher" than ours...Which is to say that God might see a BETTER solution than the ones we see!So the primary spot for reflection is this -- do you trust God even when you don't know the why?Would you be willing to lean into His love for you and have faith that He's working things our for your good?Could that alleviate your frustration? What do you think? (comment below)
Snow Covered Turd? Justin Khoe 2024-01-17 | Here's why this matters...If you believe that you're still just a snow-covered turd... then what you're really saying is that nothing changedAnd if nothing has actually changed, we inadvertently make an excuse for falling shortThere's better news :) God has made you NEW! A new creation!
What if God wants to use you differently? Justin Khoe 2024-01-16 | Have you ever done this?Ever said, "yes" to God but then added a few disclaimers on the end?Ever said, "yes.... if" or... "yes... but...?"I would offer thisThat God knows you far more than you know yourselfANDHe desires your own good MORE than you do!And soHe's safe to trust with your life. I'd encourage you to say a full send, "YES" without any reservation... even if it looks differently than you first planned
Prayer chain! Justin Khoe 2024-01-10 | ❤️ + tag someone if you believe in the power of prayer!!!Scripture says that Jesus healed a man because of his friend's faith (Mark 2:5)So take 2 minutes to pray for someone you love today!
Dont move ahead of faith Justin Khoe 2024-01-09 | The Scriptures are littered with stories that move ahead of faith...If God has promised you something... and it hasn't happened yet...The answer ISN'T to take things into your own handsThe answer IS to patiently trust and cling to the promise of God He will accomplish it according to His timing and plan!
Its ok to struggle to make sense of the word of God Justin Khoe 2024-01-08 | It's ok to struggle to make sense of the word of GodIt doesn't mean that you're doing anything wrong...It doesn't mean that God has forsaken you...It doesn't make you a second rate believerIt just means that you're learning!And sometimes learning takes time.The good news, is that you're not learning alone!You have a Teacher... and He is patient
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit Justin Khoe 2024-01-07 | Something I learned while studying this passage a bit more 👇🏽Jesus makes reference to a light not being hid under a bushelNormally, we teach that this is in reference to evangelising or living a "good christian life" so that others can bear witness to the power of GodAnd cool, this is a legitimate interpretation/ application of this passage (if you read it in the other gospel accounts)ButThe way Mark positions this parable (Mark 4:21-25) is NOT about you or I 😱It's about JesusHere's the context:Jesus teaches in parables ➡️ The disciples don't get it ➡️ Jesus teaches them. In other words, Jesus' words are the light being referred to in this parable!And he intends for us to understand them! (the intention was for his light to shine)Hence the conclusion of this passage:“Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given—and you will receive even more. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given."Was I the only one caught off guard by that?!
Struggling with faith? Justin Khoe 2024-01-06 | Listen carefully...I'm not saying that lack of faith is the end goal... or that you shouldn't grow in your trust...... I am saying that if you're not there yet... God is patientThe testimony of Scripture is exactly this. God meets people where they are at. So, know that God will continue working on your behalf... even if you presently struggle with faithIf you want to join us to learn more about the goodness of God in Bible study, comment "good good" below and I'll send you the invite!
Dont need to look for a helpmeet Justin Khoe 2024-01-05 | One of the biggest blessings of my life is my wife...but had I met her even 3 month sprior to when I did, we would have never worked out.In other words, if God had answered my longings for a partner when I wanted him to... my life would look significantly different than it does now (arguably, worse than it is now).So for what it's worth, my advice, is to bloom where you're planted, focus on what God places in front of you and trust that He has a good plan for your life!
Good news VS Bad News re: Bible study Justin Khoe 2023-12-27 | Comment "amen" if the Bible has impacted your life for the better!!!There's something about renewing our mind to truth that does, in fact, impact how we live and feel! To be honest, I'm not sure how people live life without these regular touchpoints!

Does going to church make a difference? Justin Khoe 2023-12-26 | One of my favorite podcasts is @deathtolife.podcast hosted by my buddy @riyoung31It's a podcast about people's life falling apart due to infidelity, trauma, anger, pride, depression, loss of job, death in the family... tons of death (hence the name death to life)in this most recent episode, he asked one question over and over in a few different ways and I thought it was brilliant!the question was some version of this, "did that work?"and over the hundreds of hours i've sunk into this show... there's two things that seem ABUNDANTLY clear1. theres a whole host of ways to approach life that DON'T work2. the gospel DOES workso... if you're like is going great so far and you don't see a need for Jesus, that's fine. I truly hope things continue working out for you!but...if life isn't working out...what do you have to lose?

Is the bible lying? Justin Khoe 2023-12-15 | It's really quite simple...... The Bible can say it, because Jesus actually did itRead it out loud until it clicks"Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood"Revelation 1:5
The gospel isnt that I need to die... Its that I get to live! Justin Khoe 2023-12-14 | Have you heard this idea before? That our duty is to "die daily?"Find that passage in your Bible. Read it through in a few different versions. Here's what you may notice...That is has nothing to do with "dying daily"Paul was talking about how every day he was being persecuted for preaching the gospelHe was talking about how every single day he was facing death and dangerLet me offer something...The gospel is NOT about you dying daily... it's about the one death that He died The text literally says that He died, "once for all."Instead of emphasizing a single phrase out of context... let's emphasize the sacrifice of Christ and what it has accomplished for us!
Morning Routine as a New Parent Justin Khoe 2023-12-13 | Something that we've found is that a good morning routine really sets the stage for the day.Simple, repeatable, and silly habits to give us a strong foundation to build on.1. Morning prayer (grounding the day in gratitude)2. 10-20 minute walk (on the beach if possible to get Vitamin D and wake up)3. Grab a book from the local library (dopamine associated with reading/ learning)4. Vitamin time! (wiggle time with a bit of nutrition)5. Time in the Word (building our life on the Rock)6. Breakfast time (all together at the table at the same time)7. Family blessing (prayer for Dad as I go to work)What's your morning routine like?Also, not a sponsored ad... but @hiyahealth, tell me what I gotta do to get sponsored!!! We love vitamin time!!!
