Growing is what should be happening after we are “born again”, Paul says. The natural response to Christ is to grab hold of the good soil – and flourish. Ephesians 1 is about flourishing, germinating naturally, sprouting strong and stable.
You are all wrong, Jesus said
Are you tipping the scales to get what you want? Maybe using the wrong scales? “You are all wrong
because you know neither the Scriptures [which teach the resurrection] nor the power of God [for He is able to raise the dead].”
I stomped the mud puddle
It was not so nasty a word.
What a privilege God gives us
It cost God to make us His children of privilege. Jesus made this privilege possible for all who come to Him – not just to some, but to all peoples. Some do reject Him (Hebrews 4:6). Their choice. It is a choice, to receive Him or not. Have you accepted salvation in Christ?
Make Self Talk… God Talk. It goes on and on and on
Speaking to God silently inside your mind: God-Talk… is praying to God without voicing it out loud. “Self Talk” and “God Talk”- He sees into your thoughts, your feelings, your intentions, your falseness or genuineness, your honesty or lies, what you really are inside of your mind and heart.”
What decides and settles your burning questions?
Everything around us is changing so fast these days. How on earth are we to make good, wise, decisions nowadays? Colossians 3:15 says: “Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts….”
About Time
What happens after “the first things have passed away”, after the time of the end of the age? I am eagerly waiting for what is said in Revelations 21:4 when…”the first things have passed away.”
Living between two opinions
Do you equivocate, living between two opinions? Isn’t it time to choose this day who you will serve, 100%?
Things of God
…setting my mind on things of God Colossians 3:2 Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value]. Matthew 16:23 But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to […]
What is proper among saints
What is “the right thing to do” – for a Christian? Ephesians 5:1-3 tells us: “become imitators of God”
We must seek after God
Peace within our own boundaries is not guaranteed. It is so important in these days that we all draw near to God, and pray. We must seek after God, while He yet can be found.
The Triumph of Evil
Evil has been beating good frequently ever since the Creation of our tiny earth world. Evil has been beating good frequently ever since the Creation of our tiny earth world. In the midst of all the End Time events coming down the tube – we, as followers of Jesus need inexhaustible patience. We need to be “ready, steady and able”. Keep yourself firm in the faith. And share the Gospel.
At death – we put on immortality
In God’s Home Heaven, we who followed Jesus on earth — will all be truly INVINCIBLE, living in incorruptible, immortal bodies – like Jesus had when He was resurrected. v50 “Now I say this, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God….”
Jesus watches over you very carefully
“When winds are raging o’er the upper ocean,
And billows wild contend with angry roar,
‘Tis said, far down beneath the wild commotion,
That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore.”
How to Live On Christ – by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Many Christians are satisfied if they are doing something —others wish to feel sure that they are doing much; but few admit the obligation, or make serious efforts, to do all they can.
Deluding activity of error
Interesting, the meaning of the biblical term “deluding influence”. It means: “an activity of error”. “God [b is sending] will send upon them [c an activity of error] a deluding influence….” – 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 Have you been misled into “an activity of error” recently?… by your pastor at your church, or online, or by […]
Liking Jesus
“Following Jesus” versus “Liking Jesus” I doubt Jesus likes Facebook much. Especially now (2020) – where faceless Facebook minions are actually censoring Christian conservative thought. [The Christian Post reported this about Facebook, – Facebook shuts down Christian ministry’s page with no explanation. – Source: 0% Soon]. I find it totally amazing that companies censor so […]
Being 100% given-over to Jesus
Being faithful to Jesus – that is what we want, right? Being faithful – when the Rapture happens? (I really want to go on that ride!) I live for Jesus, and that is why I live with confidence. How ’bout you? Accepting Jesus- plus some other is totally rejected by Jesus. That “other gospel” faith is the road that leads to the other place, not to God’s Home Heaven.
Jesus warned us not to be dishonest with Him
Are you seeking to justify your thinking before your end day? God told us clearly what is good, and what is not. Are you listening?
Run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us
“run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us” – Hebrews 12:1 All the runners run There are many ways to run a race. We can run to win, or we can unconsciously run to lose. Are you winning in your race? “seize the prize and make it yours!” The Christian […]
Acting with your heart, soul, strength, and with your mind
Is your life lived while set on God’s will, His values and His purposes? Or do you just “let it be” and live as it happens?
The secret of facing both plenty and hunger, abundance and need
Are you going through difficult times today? The Apostle Paul went through just about anything and everything that life could throw at him. And he came out of each one – stronger. Through all the trials and testing, he came out the other end of it and said, “I have learned the secret…” of how […]
“The God to whom I belong and whom I worship”
What kind of “god” are you now given-over to? You liken’ it? I absolutely vouch for Jesus!
Like gold dust streaming from my heart
God produces gold dust in us to touch others. Got gold!?
Good policies vs. Bad policies
At the end of his article, gently pointing out the error of his friend’s advice (John Piper), Wayne Grudem outlines two very contrasting lists of what will happen as a result of this election on November 3, 2020 — with Trump winning or with Biden winning. Very interesting. The results will be dramatically different. “Birds […]
A no vote for either side – gives away your chance to choose with love
With the most impacting voting opportunity EVER in history, the highly respected John Piper said basically: do not vote for either side. What?!
Presidential Election
How do you decide who to vote for, what to vote for – in these end times?
Voting while set on God’s will, His values and His purposes
Quite a thorny issue, voting. Back when this article was written (Oct 27, 2020) the issues were similar to the ones for the 2024 elections. It is extremely important to vote wisely. As a true follower of Jesus – I innately desire God’s will, His values and His purposes in all I do. Are you there?
Mutual conversation
Good talk is fun! Put simply: It involves your mouth voicing words with your brain full on, your heart tuned to “nice“, and another talker involved – some listening ear understanding you, involved mutually in the conversation. If there is no understanding – then there is no communication. If it’s not mutual, then there is […]
My Happy
I can always find something to make me unhappy. Never failed me yet – this unhappy thing. As they say, “If it’s not one thing, it’s another.” It can always make me unhappy.
