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
“…I have come in response to your words.” – Angel Gabriel; Daniel 10:12 To us puny humans, everything God is in Himself, and everything God does in action — is extreme. His power is extreme. His divine nature is extreme. His knowledge is extreme. His mercy is extreme. His compassion is extreme. All that He […]
Luke 6:46. Do what I say
“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” – Luke 6:46
Ephesians 1
Ephesians 1 New American Standard Bible (NASB) [Footnotes are included below passage] 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus [a]by the will of God, To the [b]saints who are [c]at Ephesus and who are faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God […]
One Solitary Life
Born in an obscure village, He was the child of a peasant woman. He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty years old. Then for three years He traveled around the country, stopping long enough to talk and to listen to people and help where He could. He never wrote a book. He […]
Worthless prayers
…the worthless prayers of fake “people of faith” – “Fake Christians“ Oh how easily some say “that’s true” – what mere men may say, but so so flippantly put His Message down – what God Himself did say. False, fake and beguiled, they listen to some staged suit, up in lights, so convincing there on […]
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.
Be diligent: 2 Peter 3:11-18
11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! 13 But according […]
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
I cast my cares on You my Lord, Father God. I look to You in faith believing You will carry the day today. Power me through it. Love others through me. I know You go before me. You prepare the way before I get there. You know my ways before I think them up and […]
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.
John 14:12-27
Source: John 14:12-27 Amplified Bible (AMP). 12 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior] will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach], because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever […]
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.
Hebrews 10:22-25
Hebrews 10:22-25 Amplified Bible (AMP) 22 let us approach [God] with a true and sincere heart in unqualified assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is […]
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
Oh the unfathomable love of our wonderful mysterious God. Think about it. His love is so endless, amazingly deep and wide. Try understanding this love. God’s love for us is never failing, beyond the capabilities of our understanding. God foreknew us as sinful, yet loved us still. God hates sin, but even though He foreknew […]
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?
Does it matter – what you believe?
Is it really all that important — who you are and what you believe? When it comes to God, getting born again, and what is or is not “a part of walking the walk” – does it matter? What is it, really, — getting “saved” and, following Jesus or following whatever? Does it matter? Do […]
Show me actual false teachings
False teachers don’t come looking like The Walking Dead! If they did – we’d know to stay away from their teachings! They come to churches “dressed as sheep [appearing gentle and innocent]” but actually on the inside they are horrible, “ravenous wolves”. What are actual false teachings “out there”? What are the teachings contrary to what Jesus and the Apostle Paul taught?
The well-guarded soul
The well-guarded soul will keep you following Jesus. What can you do to guard your soul?
