What do you think? Do YOU have or exercise Free Will? Or, are you a fatalist? This position really does give you a ‘way out’ because you don’t have any responsibility if you have no control. This point is sufficient for me to NOT believe in fatalism. Fatalism is nothing more than a lame excuse! […]
I realize that we often hear, at the end of the year, that it’s been a/an (choose your adjective) year. When it is 2020 that we are talking about, that ‘WHAT’ is far more than we realized when we began 1/1/2020. It is difficult, not impossible, to find the ‘good’ in the year. But the
2020… What a Year … 2021? Read More »
Do you get those feelings that you’ve missed it? Or worse, blown it? That all you’re currently doing is marking time and or languishing somewhere at the back of a very dusty shelf? It may not be depression or melancholy you are experiencing, but there is a tangible and distinct feeling of disquiet and restlessness.

Some of the more remarkable statements Jesus made was to tell us, unmistakably, why He came. It is an incredible list of what He brings us so that we can live the abundant life. None of His ‘gifts’ are insignificant and they all provide us with a foundation. Do we appropriate them for ourselves and

YOU are a trophy for God! Betcha you never thought of yourself in this light. I know I certainly didn’t. Can’t take credit for the revelation… a pastor was giving a message from Galatians and made the comment. Now before you dismiss it out of hand… think about it. And, you are not only a
Controlling you. Do you? Does someone else or something else dictate? Do you allow yourself to express whatever it is you are feeling and yet not control you or your feelings? (Some people call this ‘being transparent. Really?) Actually… never swallow your feelings, they will express themselves – now or eventually. The point isn’t so
First consider 2 scriptures: “Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 5:8, AMP) “But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses [to
Hmmm… does this mean, “I believe”? And when I say, I believe, do I really mean, I think? Related they are but they aren’t the same. At least to me. For me, ‘I think’ means that I have come to a conclusion, a point of understanding leading to a decision and an act… BUT, I
