Could we be missing something, maybe a great experience in our walk of faith? We want to walk in His will. School graduates want to know God’s will for their lives. Many believers want to know they are daily walking in His will. But how to know? Dare I say, do we need to know the big picture? Are we so fixated on discovering God’s will for our lives that we miss life? Are we so concerned about becoming all…
Dear subscriber, I seem to be having difficulty sending this Sunday prayer through as an email by itself. So I will post it here. I will try again Monday. Maybe the forms have changed and I need to learn something new. Have a blessed week.
Why does revival barely last one generation? Why don’t we reproduce sincere believers who carry this on? Who do we blame? What does it take to be a sincere believer, to remain that and to grow into maturity enough to reproduce like kind? Why does it die with the current generation? Have you thought about that? Could it be that “revival” isn’t real, transforming? Rather it is something to be enjoyed, but kept away from wounding our heart. Nothing is…
Our circumstances can be very troubling at times. I was chatting with a friend about this recently who is going through a difficult time. We try to control our circumstances to ensure a good outcome. We want the best for our family members or friends. That can put a lot of stress on us as well as those around us. Do we recognize God being in charge of our circumstances? Is He? If He is, then do we need to…
He is Lord.” Do you know that chorus? I just want to share a quote with you from Myer Pearlman on page 150 in his book Knowing The Doctrines of the Bible published by Gospel Publishing House in 1937. In defining the word Lord he says, “the One who by His death has earned the place of sovereign in my heart, and whom I feel constrained to worship and serve with all my powers.” Something to ponder this week and…
We can’t love God without knowing Him. Just like we can’t love someone we don’t know. It’s not possible. Knowing God takes time and effort, a lot of focused effort. Whatever we want from God we must seek Him with all of our heart. This isn’t a half-hearted attempt. No, it takes a constant focused pursuit of Him even while doing life. Loving God is a response to His loving us. With people, it is a choice, but with God…
On the path to the cross, you are not alone. I am not alone. Jesus walks beside me, He walks with you. He has been there before and knows the way. He said that He’d never leave us. We are not alone. Right after Jesus tells His disciples that He was going to be killed, He told them to take up their cross and follow Him. His life was an example for them. You and I can relate to His…
We can live each day with fearless faith when we realize nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.So, how do these terms found in Romans 8:35, 38,39 relate to my life? Tribulation – oppressed, bothered, troubled Distress – misfortune, suffering, calamity Persecution – aggravation, annoyance, teasing, hrassment Famine – scarcity, lack, shortages Nakedness – lacking enough clothing Peril – danger of losing _____ Sword – coercive power, threat of life or maybe livelihood, death, or death of someone close, fighting strife…
Psalm 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever. NKJV – Dreadful, exceedingly, fear, 3374 This post is a bit long, but it has been on my heart for months. I’d appreciate your comments. The beginning of any building is the foundation. What we believe about God is the foundation of not only our faith, but of our daily life. It flavors all…
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. Life has difficulties. Did you have a disagreement with your spouse? Are your children bickering? Your head begins to ache. If only life could be easier. What if we could see it as allowed by God as part of His refining process,…
