…immersing in the dyes of God, taking-on the colors of God Have you given any thought as to what God wants? What does God want from you? Each of us is born into this one world, one human race, with many similar basic needs, abilities and challenges. But we are not the same. As they […]
Jesus will return soon, just as He left
The Bible says Jesus will return soon “in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” 10 While they were looking intently into the sky as He was going, two men in white clothing suddenly stood beside them, 11 who said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? […]
After you have suffered for a little while
Pain and suffering, sickness, dying – it’s all part of the curse of God on the world because of sin, because man chose evil over obedience to God. The Fall of Man brought all of this down on us. It will be done away with by Christ – when we get to heaven. But what […]
First, Apostasy, then Antichrist, then the Rapture
God is about to effect change – big time. He is about to say, It’sssss Time – for change. The Apostle Paul gave us the chronological order of how three events of change will go down in The End Times. Seems clear enough. To me that sort of settles any argument about the chronology of […]
Feeling insignificant?
Going for a walk in our neighborhood with my wife, with our rural mountain beauty all around… Surrounded by a world of hurt, virus, and sin that never lets us go, and those countless neighbors, lost, and I hear their helpless bleating “baa baa baa”, and still I keep my mask on tight, now they […]
Even if you die, you will live
For the believer – death is the portal to Heaven. “Even if you die, you will live”, Jesus said. That is the promise of Jesus to those who sincerely accept Him as their personal Savior and Lord. I’ve tried to find a solace… For the unbeliever – death is the portal to an instant appointment […]
Choosing God’s greater wealth rather than passing pleasures
– Hebrews 11:39 “…they gained [divine] approval through their faith“… Moses, Abel, Cain, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Abel, Cain, Enoch, Noah, Sarah, Joshua, sons of Israel, Rahab, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, the prophets, …women, …others. – Hebrews 11 *Read this chapter of “The Hall of Heroes of the Christian Faith” Do you […]
Staying Alive
The faithful have a faith that is staying alive day by day. Faithfulness is a process. We live, we try, we fail, we sin – but the faithful then repent, turn to God again, and move on in faith, believing God that we will be stronger next time. The faithful develop a pattern of an […]
When we face difficult times in our life
God is my hope, my encouragement, my confidence. When we face difficult times in our life, the follower of Christ finds hope and encouragement in the words of God to us – the Bible. God Himself is our hope, our encouragement, our confidence. “We overflow with confidence in His promises.” Romans 15:4-6 4 For whatever was […]
Do not fear, I will help you
God is a loving God, always with us, never away. He helps us in our time of need. Invisible, Almighty God carries us. “For I am the LORD your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, “Do not fear, I will help you.” – Isaiah 41:13 Whatever comes our way – whatever […]
At your wit’s end
“On God my salvation and my glory rest; He is my rock of [unyielding] strength, my refuge is in God.” – Psalm 62:7 Amplified Bible (AMP) At your wit’s end these days, with all that life is throwing at you now? Are you at the end of your wit? Well, that’s not hard to do. […]
The Good Fruit List
Wow. I want this. I want this inside my insides, streaming from my soul. Excerpt from: Good Fruit The Good Fruit List This is what God produces in us: love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. – […]
The Apostle Paul’s Criticisms
What’s the difference between a critical spirit – and the Apostle Paul’s Pauline criticisms (or Berean thinking). When is criticism okay? When is criticism biblical, and when is it not? What is legitimate criticism, and what is unbiblical criticism? Are you thinking like a Berean – or do you have a critical spirit? Pointing to […]
Your useless way of life
“Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ’s sacred blood, you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb….” – 1 Peter 1:18-21 The Message (MSG) It’s your […]
Love forgives others
Love forgives. Plain and simple. Nothing less. Is your love acting, or “failing”? 1 Peter 4:8 Above all, have fervent and unfailing love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins [it overlooks unkindness and unselfishly seeks the best for others]. Got to have it: “have fervent and unfailing love”. Have it. Have […]
About Nabeel Qureshi
Nabeel Qureshi – was an example of extreme Christian faith (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabeel_Qureshi_(author). Would that we all were as committed to Christ – in our walk and in our talk. This book by Qureshi, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus – “describes his dramatic journey from Islam to Christianity”, accepting Christ while a follower of Islam’s Qadyani Ahmadiyya.[1][2]. […]
My faith
“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whoever does not receive and welcome the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.” – Mark 10:15 Excerpt from: More Than Conquerors – In Christ My faith is in Jehovah God, Yahweh, the great “I AM,” the God of forgiveness and […]
About past sins and being forgiven now
A study of Bible passages dealing with: past sins and being forgiven now. The very clear message of Christ is that sinners can be changed when they repent in sincerity and truth, choosing to become God’s true followers. You can have all your sinful past forgiven by God, and be totally accepted into His Forever […]
Fight the good fight
What does it mean to “fight the good fight”? What fight are we in, as believers? Of course, if we are not truly following Christ, then it doesn’t change things one way or the other – whether we fight the good fight or not. But, for those who follow Christ sincerely, it is incumbent upon […]
Why all my pain and sorrow, my sickness and worries?
…why all my pain and sorrow, sickness and suffering, depressed feelings and worries? It’s from the Fall of Man. The Fall of Man, falling away from God and into sin, is recorded in Genesis 3. We live to see the effects all the way throughout history, all the way into our own times – and […]
Make judgements all day long
In modern day English, the Bible does not say, Do not judge. I hear this a lot. But what the Bible actually means is, “Do not condemn others”. We are to be known by our love, and love is not condemning. Come on Christians! Don’t be known by how condemning you are of those around […]
Get a grip!
“…do this well, fearless in your struggle, keeping a firm grip on your faith and on yourself. After all, this is a fight we’re in.” – 1 Timothy 1:verse 18 The Message (MSG) Life is a fierce battle to the death, a struggle to win against all the forces against us. Keep yourself strong in […]
Balancing-out my faith with my practice
You cannot balance-out your faith with practices that are heinous to God and expect God to change His ways for you. God does not use a balance scale. I cannot “balance-out my faith” by practicing sin. Coming to God on your own terms is like… like walking up to a wild bear and telling him […]
I am dying
I am dying. And so are you. We’re all under the curse of The Fall, where God cursed the earth and all His creation, because of sin. Sin started back where a man and a woman (Adam and Eve) decided, by their own free will, to contradict God’s word to them, and do what God […]
Our put down, slap down ways
Take today’s challenge: Try “loving” again. “Do not judge and criticize and condemn [others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge], so that you will not be judged [unfairly].” – Matthew 7:1 The world around us is chuck-full of fault-finding. You might even find it inside your […]
Quick and Harsh
We all do it. It is so easy. We jump to it! Each of us – we suddenly are harsh and unloving. We jump to judgment, condemning others around us. Our harsh words and attitudes come out of such lovely, innocent faces. We often draw conclusions without all the facts – and then shame and […]
Streaming from my soul
…Joy from the soul of an innocent baby. What is streaming from your soul? What is it, coming out from deep inside you? Jesus said that it is that, what is inside you, that causes us problems. It’s not what’s outside. It’s what’s inside. What content are you streaming from deep inside your soul? Matthew […]
A worthy life
…a life that’s lived for Christ, giving him the reins How I live each day – shows God how much I love Him (or not): How I complete each moment of the day… How I follow His lead, letting Him guide me… How I leave each soul in my wake as my soul meets another. […]
A Healthy Soul
How do you measure the condition of your soul? Checking the condition of something is very common: With vehicle tires, basically you check the tread depth and condition of the sidewalls. With a house appraisal, a professional compares the house with others in the area, checks for soundness of all, inside and out, top and […]
Who I really really am
My word for the day: Actually Try To Do The Deed. The problems of my day today – I won’t let them take away my joy in Christ. I will not let troubles crowd-out who I really am. In Christ – I am more than victorious over everything, because God holds me in His Hands, […]
