always, always, always makes us stumble (if not worse)! Then again, perhaps we should first look at who the best intentions are aimed at and why we think our determination is for their best! Tad presumptuous on our part… isn’t it? Who are we to determine what the best is for someone else? Unless they […]
It’s true you know. Many times the devil will use the most insignificant, the Itty Bitty things of life, to trip us up. You’d think that after a number of these incidents that we’d get smarter… not necessarily. Experience doesn’t always bring wisdom. We typically are on guard against the larger temptations and/or seductions and

It’s true, you know – it depends on our perspective – it affects everything about how we react and interact with (fill in the blank)! And sometimes this is overly influenced by our mood. And our mood is greatly influenced by what we do first thing in the morning. Personally, I’m a slow waker-upper. I

“And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him.” [1 John 5: 14-15, ESV] 1 John is

I sometimes wonder if we’ve totally misunderstand what witnessing is all about. First of all, it’s not You who saves others – only the Lord can (1 Corinthians 3:6-9). And if you respond with – ‘I know that!’, then what’s the problem about witnessing to others who the Lord is and what He does? In
Do/Have you ever want/ed to do ‘something’ even though you know there’s really nothing you can do? In my case, even though I knew it was totally impossible, I wanted to ‘repay’ the Lord for all He did and continues to do for me. But… is this even possible? Short answer – NO! It’s not
Every once in a while, I feel the need to restate the obvious… at least about ‘my’ blog and books. The writing is NOT rocket science nor deep theological thought. It’s not meant to be. The ‘Audience’ for the writings are you, right where you are, with all that you are facing, in the times
Does that sound as lame as it looks? Probably. But, like me, do you ever feel that way? Come on… be honest, you do. And the ‘not wanting to’ has absolutely nothing to do with the ‘activity’ or the people involved… it simply is that there are moments that whatever it is with whoever they
“I, the Lord, search and examine the mind, I test the heart, To give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.” [Jeremiah 17:10, AMP] Search… Examine… Test… the heart. This will validate us in who and what we are and do. But the Father doesn’t just ‘consider’ this

Back in 2011 I wrote a blog post titled: ‘Poverty Mentality’. I sometimes believe we in ’21 are caught in the grip of this thinking. Legitimately, from a standpoint of the world’s standards, it could be argued that this is true. But, for just a moment, think not about the carnal issues of life but
