The little verse of Psalm 66:18 teaches us a whole lot about God – and prayer. Just in this tiny verse we see: “If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear.” I am born again, and God has forgiven me of all my sins. However, on any given day or moment, if I come to Him in prayer AND am holding a sin, so to speak, or allowing a sin to have a place in my life — then, the Bible tells me: God will not give heed to what I say.
Stand Strong
Sinning is basically: “failing God”. But when we confess… He forgives. We can “gear up” if we “Put on the full armor of God” (Ephesians 6:10-17). Then we can “back-up our talk with our walk.” (See “What We Are To Be”)
Ghosts, Spirits and Demons
What we know from Scripture about …other dimensions… angels, Satan, demons, spirits and ghosts.
The Security of the True Believer
When we, anyone, comes to God with sincerity and truth, giving Him all that we are, bowing our heart to Him in confession and repentance of sin – we are saved, redeemed, and given eternal life in that very moment. He saves us – not we ourselves.
What God Did for Man
Have you ever wondered how it all got started – the universe, the earth, nature, animals, you and your “like”, mankind? Any belief system has to start with: the start. What is it!? What happened to get all-that-is …into existence? The most logical explanation is that a very creative entity started it all. Think about it.
Inexhaustible Patience
“…with inexhaustible patience and [faithful] teaching.” You got it? INexhaustible patience? In our relations with other people, and especially those of the faith, the norm we aspire towards as Christians — is totally unreachable without the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through us. Quite a high standard! 2 Timothy 4:2 Amplified Bible […]
The Righteous Person
The righteous person is the one that seeks and submits to the will of God. It’s not the perfect one, but the ones who seek Him and submit to Him.
Distracting Meaningless Things
Turn my eyes away from vanity [all those worldly, meaningless things that distract —let Your priorities be mine], And restore me [with renewed energy] in Your ways. – Psalm 119:37. Lay aside, do away with, strip away, turn your eyes away, pray, confess, submit, run with endurance, run with active persistence, restore.

Acts 17:10-34 …examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so Paul at Berea 10 The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, [a]and when they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, [b]for they received the word with […]
Furnished Proof
Who do you believe? Jesus? Satan? Some self-appointed guru? Your choice will divide eternity for you.
More Than Conquerors – In Christ
What kind of faith are you experiencing as a follower of Jesus Christ? What is your daily experience? How can you become “more than conquerors?
I have faith
I have faith. What kind of faith do you have?
People of Faith and what they did
PIC: Last Supper. Pete Garcia art at rev310.net Hebrews 11 at BibleGateway The Triumphs of Faith 11 Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality —faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For […]
I have hope
…I have hope – because God is good. He will not let me down. I am a brand new creation in Christ! Excerpt… Lamentations 3:verses 20-26 Amplified Bible (AMP) 20 My soul continually … is bowed down within me. 21 But this I call to mind, Therefore I have hope. 22 It is because of […]
Only God’s Way Leads to Himself
It makes sense that God will have HIS WAY. Why do so many today think God is McDonald’s, saying “Have it your way!”?
Habits of Love
Doing love from your soul. Your supposed “love” is not really love, if it is not actually “doing love”. You do actual acts of love. Love is active. We form habits by doing….
When talking choose nice
Do you know how to converse without offending? We can choose to talk nice words. How are you doing with that?
I beat my wife up everyday
Are you there in the early morning – for the people you love? Or are you hinged to your bed “like a door to its hinges” (Proverbs 26:13-16), “[losing opportunity after opportunity]” (Proverbs 26:13-16)?
Islam and Christianity
Compare Islam and Christianity. There is an eternal difference.
Predicting Christ
What will you do with Jesus? He was predicted before His birth! He fulfilled over 360 prophecies – proving He was the Messiah. His birth, life, death and resurrection are incontrovertible.
Accepting Jesus – Plus Some Other
Do you acknowledge the dissidence between your “want-a-be” and your whatch-ya-be? The truth is you can’t have it both ways. Salvation in Christ is what it is. God has shared His Way with us. It is not “whatever you make it to be”. Salvation is not something you make up for your own convenience. Are you saved by God? Or are you hoping your own way will be good enough?
A tough life in Nazareth, by James Martin; LATimes.com
Jesus came from a backwater of a backwater; he and his mother and father, the figures at the heart of the Christmas story, were most likely considered throwaway people. The Gospels tell us little about Mary other than to say that she was a parthenon, a young woman, a virgin, most likely illiterate. Jesus worked as a tekton from roughly 12 to 30. Fully 18 years of his life would have been spent at this arduous labor — six times longer than his public ministry as a preacher and healer. Is it any surprise, then, that Jesus felt such intense compassion for the poor and marginalized?
Religion and Philosophizing
Religion will get you nowhere but down. Jesus gets you where you really want to go. Look at the evidence. Jesus comes through all the evidences — as God come down to earth to save us all. Look for yourself.
The Rich Mindset of God
The Bible introduces us to the rich mindset of God. The Bible was shaped over hundreds of years by God inspired writers – prophets, and apostles. The Bible is showing us the mindset of God Himself.
Ashamed of Yourself?
Have you ever done something you are ashamed of? God does not overlook and excuse sin (Romans 1: verse 18). Never has. Never will. However, Jesus dealt with the sins of others in a much more merciful manner than we tend to do with our self and our sins – and the sins of others. Is your brain noggin talkin’ negative or positive? Biblical or what?
Killing It Slowly
We all have it. Got to have it. Time. It’s time. And soon we have no time it seems. And now I die.
It’s comin’ round the corner!
We can absolutely be ready for what’s comin’ round the corner, you know? Jesus came down to earth to tell us how to be ready. He died so we could get ready. The greatest peaceful easy feeling comes when you receive the Kingdom like a child.
Hebrews 4
Has the good news of salvation benefited you, or have you failed, still, to put your faith in God? – From Hebrews 4
Mold me as an instrument of use
Want to be put to good use – by God? Pray like this…
I will not be a fan
In my tiny tiny world my time, my hours and my days the years and decades pass events and “chance” what comes and goes decisions made or not relation moments made or lost rush swiftly by but leave effects upon the lives around me I will not be a fan sitting idly by watching from […]
