“…act upon the knowledge of faith….” – Francis Schaeffer in his book, True Spirituality. Quoted here by Andrée Seu Peterson in her World Magazine article (in 4th paragraph): The power of now …Call forth what’s yours with no double-mindedness. *Featured 2016 photo is Al-Basha, a Christian in Syria who acted on his beliefs – and […]
The Power of Now
Have you staked everything solely on the word of Jesus? That is what it takes to live for Jesus.
The Holy Spirit in You?
When we accept Christ, the whole universe becomes our family domain! We become a child of Creator God. Our new life, spirit and soul, begins eternal life as the Holy Spirit of God, part of the “three in one” mysterious Triune God, takes up residence in our body.
Befuddled and Besmirched
Is your “happy” gone? What’s your problem? We all have sin we should be working on. But we do not have to continue in our sin, vile to Jesus. I try to practice admitting I was wrong. We can turn to God in prayer, confess it all, repent of it all….
How Prayer Works
Prayer is a mysterious thing, is it not? Praying: I come to God through my spirit, with my soul speaking from my mind and heart. Prayer “works” because God is gracious and forgiving. And He Himself asks us to come into His presence. The Bible says God hears and responds – to even the most vile of sinners.
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”)
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 […]
Distracting Meaningless Things
Childish things, distracting meaningless things, cleverly entangling things, unnecessary weight, sinful deeds. 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 Amplified Bible (AMP) Questions based on 1 Corinthians 13:11, Hebrews 12:1, Hebrews 12:1, Psalm […]
More Than Conquerors – In Christ
Photo: More than a conqueror, Nabeel Qureshi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabeel_Qureshi_(author)) – example of victorious Christian faith. What are the beliefs of your faith? What kind of faith are you experiencing as a follower of Jesus Christ? What is your daily experience? What are your expectations of yourself spiritually, your daily walk with God? Do you have one… […]
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?
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.
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 […]
Finding Perfect Peace
Are you struggling with something and finding no peace? Go to the Lord in prayer. There’s a whole lot’a stuff that can keep us struggling! Life throws curve balls. And we’re not all that perfect. We all have issues. Things can get out of balance real quickly.
Conflicts Because of Opinion
It is just so easy these days to offend others because of opinions. It’s happening all across America. What is going on!?
God Is My Refuge and Strength
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. – Psalm 46:1 King James version (KJV) In the midst of it all, I remind myself that I am born again. I am following Him. The Spirit of God has made me a “brand new creation” of God (2 Corinthians 5:17). Since […]
Virgins, Talents, and Judgement
Do you know that grace and mercy were legalized in Heaven, made specifically for us? His amazing grace and mercy give us forgiveness — forever. Wow!
Why I Write
Why all the Bible references in our articles? It is not all that important what I think. What really matters is what God tells us in His Word. I aim to help everyone see what the Bible says — not what I think, not what some church thinks, not some religion. So therefore most everything […]
Livin’ it to the max!
What if God appeared right in front of you, right there where you are, right now, and asked, “I’d like you to come to heaven and enjoy my Kingdom with me.” Would you say, “No”? What kind of fool would you be!…? You might be thinking, “What kind of fool do you think I am?” […]
Being Great
What does the Bible say about being “great”? Jesus was great! And we are to be like Jesus! What are the biblical principles that should guide all Christians in their quest to be “great”? The definition of “great”: excellently; very well; of an extent, amount, or intensity considerably above the normal or average. (Source: The […]
Developing Character
It is great to look back on my life, examine myself, and see the progress I have made in developing my ” self “. I can see my character develop over the years. So glad it has! The good is increasing. Yes!! (2 Peter 1: verse 8) And the bad is on the decline (Hebrews […]
Maturing in the Faith
Want to be better, do better, and please Creator God more as a born again believer? Apply 2 Peter 1:1-11 to your daily living.
Our Perspective in the USA
– Anonymous Quote in reference to the Charlottesville violence – by both sides, violent white supremists and violent protesters against their racism… How ’bout this perspective – for us in the USA today? Maybe we all should try greeting each other in love? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than […]
God is able to keep you from stumbling
If you are not born again – well then, you have to keep on sinning. It’s your nature. Still. But, if you have been saved, then you are a brand new creation. You have been changed, and the Bible says you do not have to sin! He empowers us to refuse sin. He “…is able […]
Romans 12
What We Are To Be Romans 12 Amplified Bible (AMP) 1 Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship. 2 And do […]
Imagine You, the Perfect Person
Are you striving to be more and more like Christ every day? Seeing more good fruit?
My Creation
It took 9 months. And now I am here. A body by God. It is my time to live! I have been created by God!
Who Do You Believe?
The World – or – God Your Way – or – God’s Way (A) Belief in God’s creation – versus – (B) Belief in Common worldviews 1. Creation The World: God did not create me. God does not have a plan for my life. So I can create myself my own way. God: God did create […]
Being Who We Are
It is quite sobering to read the Bible and realize who we are, here on earth. We earthly creatures are born under God’s judgement, unworthy of Him. We can either choose to follow God’s way, or make our own way.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the fool’s day. Tomorrow may never come. This may be it. Today I choose Him, whatever comes.
