How many times in scripture has ‘God answered’? Innumerable. Do you recall ANY instance of Him not responding to a prayer, a request, a question… anything? Obviously I believe He always responds. Could the problem be that we haven’t always been alert, listening to the answer? Or, maybe the answer isn’t the one we want? […]
(pursue your dreams, do something you’ve always wanted to do, ask for help, risk, express your feelings – fill in the blank)… but it will require you to be courageous, to be honest with yourself, and to stand for… Are you? If not, do you know why you aren’t? Actually… do you know what ‘being

Disclaimer: read the following as an introduction. It is impossible to fully consider fear and love in a simple blog post, but I can suggest this as a teaser study for you and a promise that if you engage in it, it will profoundly affect you and everything you know and are. I do not
Have you ever ask yourself – Why would God love me!? Why would He take the time, the effort to save me, provide for me in every area of my life… love me? And then look at all He continues to do… and if I were the only one, He would do it all, just

(But also remember Matthew 6:14-15) “If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything

There are scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments about out of the mouths of babes and infants … “And Jesus replied to them, “Yes; have you never read [in the Scripture], ‘Out of the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have prepared and provided praise for Yourself’?” (Matthew 21:15, AMP) This is
Do you know the definition? Do you know what it means? More important… do you know how it applies to you? Webster’s definition says: “not possible to revoke”. Well, that’s not helpful, is it? Synonyms: irreplaceable, irrecoverable, irredeemable, irreversible… this I interpret to mean a done deal, can’t and won’t be undone. Thankfully, scripture gives
Happen to you? Of course. It really is immaterial how you got to ‘wrong’… you did! So did the world stop? No.? Was it catastrophic? How did it affect and/or change you? others? What did you DO about being ‘wrong’? We can gain some comfort and perspective when we read Proverbs. There is a wealth

I believe I’ve finally developed a definition that is simple, accurate, and easily understood concerning… Disobedient: anytime we act (including speak) contrary to what we KNOW the Lord wants us to do, say. I think that there really isn’t unthinking disobedience. And yet, we may not be aware of the fallout and ramifications from our
