Light and darkness are what is good and what is bad (Luke 11:33-36). It is God’s Word, the Bible, that fills us with light – not any of the multiple, vain, man-made philosophies cooked-up to make us feel wise. Have you shined the light of Jesus around you lately?
Misunderstanding God
For some strange reason I am constantly amazed by the confident bravado of unrepentant so-called “Christians”. But, why am I surprised? “Unrepentant” is bold rebellion, vain conceit, and unbowing willfulness. I don’t think many are “misunderstanding God”. They are merely choosing to follow another god. Won’t that be a horrible day, to beam up and […]
Measuring Your Net Worth
…be careful how you build on Jesus, our foundation How do you prepare your wealth to survive a disaster? Where are you safeguarding your wealth? Do you put your wealth into “wood, hay, straw” type of quality? Well that won’t work. That “treasure” will get all burned up! You’ll end up with nothing in the […]
I Look Oh My God
I look at an orchid, a rose, the tropical fish, lush jungles and forests, men, women and children and I say, “Oh my God such beauty can only be from You. It is good what you have done. I look at the skies and the stars and the universes beyond….
Not by strength – by God!
We do not “stay saved” by holding on desperately to His Hand, careful not to fall into Hell. His act of saving us is His act, and it is eternal.
Getting Right With God
-excerpt from the article What God Did for Man (February 19, 2018) What happens if/when I finally reconcile with God? When I reconcile with God everything changes! Instant Forgiveness 1 John 1:9 Condemnation Voided Romans 8:1 Legally Declared Perfect Colossians 3:3 Promised Eternal Life John 3:16 His Forever Child – Now 1 John 5:13 Eternity […]
Why worry? Trust God
Jesus taught us how to have perfect peace in the midst of stress and troubles. Don’t we all want perfect peace in our inner soul? If we worry and fret over many things – it is because we try to live focused on God AND …some other “master”. “You cannot serve God and wealth [m […]
God Is Asking You To Repent
So, here we are on earth, living. If you are reading this — you’re not dead yet! And God is asking you to repent. God is saying – repent now, before it’s too late to repent. What are you saying back to God?
There is a place
When this life is over and we’ve lived it all for self, we’ll have nothing in eternity but self and self – that’s all.
Puny humans
Quotes about mere puny mud-men and women of clay – us.
John 1:1-5…my amplified version
The actual translation of John 1:1-5 (NASB version) states: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him […]
Why pray
Why pray? We pray because God cares (John 3:16), and He hears what we say and think. And we need Him.
Worthless prayers
Prayer is effective when we come to God with sincerity and truth. Any other way? That’s worthless.
Just beyond the veil
Just beyond “beyond the veil”, beyond this dimension where we live – there is a whole different existence prepared for us by God. And it’s eternal. Got your mind around that? For those who accepted Christ in this life — it will be totally… Awesome!
What sort of person are you?
What sort of person are you? Are you being diligent to be the sort that God wants? My focus is going to be on eternity with God!
Rely on the Spirit of God in you
It is the Holy Spirit that begins a new work in us – from the very moment of salvation in Christ. And God promises that He continues that good work in us all the way through to His return. What an amazing mystery, that Almighty God would choose to somehow enter His creation. He does not “lower Himself” nor condescend nor stoop… to do so. It is in His very nature to love us so. God is love and humbleness — in the same breath with His Omnipotence and unequaled Awesomeness.
Do not be unproductive
Day after day, habits are formed, time goes by… and soon you have it — “your way of life”. What kind of life are you living today? Day-in, day-out, day after day after day – we form habits, ways of doing what we do. Ever wonder what you are, what you really are like? […]
I live with confidence
Although I am not perfect, I have, growing in me…“love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control”. That grows confidence!
I am enough
In Christ I am enough. I’ve got it all, nothing needed, nothing missing. I am ready, steady and able because God Himself made me more than human, after all. I have everything needed, in me, to live a godly life — because of the power of God in me… since that moment in time that […]
What if?
What if God really does exist? What if you are wrong about God, and He really walked the earth as Jesus? Wouldn’t you want to know more about Him? Do you really want to just live your life – and die having rejected “the only real God” and His message in the Bible?
A prayer of praise to God
Father, thank you for this day, for this another start. You are my Hope. You are my defender. You are the anchor of my soul. And I rejoice in you.
God eventually gives you a free rein
Come close to God – before He can not be found. “He will let you find Him.” It’s your choice. However, eventually He will release you to walk your own way. He will stop trying. And soon, it’s too late.
Before a good cup a Joe
I don’t do frenetic. I don’t do worry. I don’t let it in. I don’t start my day all out of kilter, out of whack. I refuse to stumble into my day. I start most every day something like this: I get on up and get on High. I’m lifted up. I start my day with God in prayer – just me and God in the cavern of my head. Creator God is everywhere. Nowhere that He’s not. And He’s in my head. He knows my thoughts. My thoughts, an open gateway to my soul, for God. I think my thoughts to Him “in prayer”. No one hears me, but God Himself. He even knows what I’m about to say. Oh mysterious, sacred Spirit that lives inside my eternal soul!
About the Holy Spirit
What does the Bible teach us about the Holy Spirit? He came to earth to work powerfully – after Jesus was resurrected and returned to Heaven.
What God has going on with us here on this planet
There is a lot of confusion in the world — about what God has going on with us here on this planet. God wants us to spend eternity with Him. That is why He created us in the first place. So God downloaded to earth as a normal man, the Godman Jesus Christ. We do not need religion. We need to follow Jesus.
Enemies of our soul
– The World, the Flesh, and the Devil. Excerpt from: An unguarded life August 22, 2018 These entities are the enemies of our soul – three (3) “forces” which are part and parcel of living on earth as humans: (1) the world, (2) the flesh, and (3) Satan. They are not going away – until […]
Put on the new
Being a “Christian” involves beginning to actually live what Christ taught. Have you come into the saving knowledge of Christ?
Unfathomable love
God is unfathomable. Just considering only His love – we see this. What a wonderful, mysterious God the Bible reveals to us.
My wild and crazy stallion heart
My wild and crazy stallion heart has at times taken me away from God’s Ways. How ’bout you? The only good thing in that, is that God forgives all wrongdoings of all repentant sinners, no exceptions. I continue to repent of my sins. So, by God’s mercy — I am not the sum of all my sins. I am forgiven.
This is love
God is love, the Bible says. So, what is He like?
