When I first began reading the Bible after I was saved, I discovered this verse: “For God has unveiled them [all that God has planned for us, v. 9] and revealed them to us through the [Holy] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things [diligently], even [sounding and measuring] the [profound] depths of God [the […]
What do you know, believe about baptism? What meaning does it have for you? When does it occur? Its purpose? And there are a host of other questions. Traditionally (?) I think water baptism has been associated with our witness of who we now are since we have accepted Jesus’ invitation and become saved, born
Occasionally I find myself sighing and wishing I was more like my ideal me. Do you? This can be my mindset when I find myself acting on what I call Paul’s lament – doing what he doesn’t want to and not doing what he does want. Then after a few sighs I typically find myself
I can’t take credit for that title… Joyce Meyer talked on this topic (you should check out her video teaching). However, it is such a great line, that I wanted to use those words. First we need to realize that ‘guilt’ has many faces. There’s the guilt we feel when we do or don’t do

You realize that we’re all wounded warriors… cracked pots. A chink here, a rough edge there. But look at what the Lord does with us! And that’s the point. We can wallow in our cracked status or give all that we have and are to the Lord. Actually, this process of giving all we have

I’m returning to an earlier post thought because I wanted to revisit ‘lacking nothing’. Those are the ending words in James 1:4. Lacking in nothing. Wow! Can you get your head around that? How do we place ourselves in a position that we lack nothing? One of the beginning steps is to NOT consider the

Are we? Are we leaving behind or standing still or moving forward? I suspect I should ask whether or not we want to grow, to become mature? Is where we are ‘comfortable’ and not requiring (that we know of) anything from us? Becoming a Christian is not meant as a stand still, no need to
“For you [who are born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified and] are all children of God [set apart for His purpose with full rights and privileges] through faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ [into a spiritual union with the Christ, the Anointed] have clothed yourselves
Is there such a word? If not, consider it coined. Others/I talk a great deal about mindset (frame of reference) but what about our heartset? Sometimes I think the role our hearts play in who we are and how we go about being us isn’t framed within the concept of our heart. Do we know
