Do you have someone to share with, to ‘talk things out’? I would contend that everyone needs a sympathetic but honest ear or sounding board, or ‘confidant’. We really aren’t created to be in isolation, rather, to be in contact. This is important to our soul. Do you know who this valuable and necessary ‘other’ is […]
One of the most visible proofs of who you are is seen in your behavior. It is a testament to who you are becoming, what’s important to you, whose you are, what you believe in and act upon, and a great deal more. It confirms you as well as your words. ‘You don’t need to prove
A hiccup, in my world of definitions, is something that occurs that is unexpected and, typically, unwelcome but is not a major disaster. It could have occurred ‘out of the blue’ but may or may not have resulted from something you did or failed to do. Yet… it still was an event that got you ‘off’
Scripture clearly teaches us at least two uncompromising principles: let your ‘yes’ or ‘no’ be unequivocal with no mixed message (Matthew 5:37); and do not add to or subtract from scripture (Deuteronomy 4:2 and Revelation 22:18-19). But, I wonder if sometimes we want the answer to (fill in the blank) to be … not at this time.
Many times we hear (or say) ‘ don’t shoot the messenger’. This preface typically precedes a sad/’bad’ message. Which means that the listener/receiver is automatically on guard about the upcoming message. And to divorce the messenger from the message is incredibly difficult…but without being forewarned, the two do become one. Which means that relationship, at
Yes? No? The start of our ‘Stand’ (Ephesians 6) in the battle, because if we don’t believe in Absolutes, then we are on the wrong side. I remember, at university, that the group of people I tended to ‘hang out’ with were those who, though perhaps far from intellectuals, loved to ‘discuss’. One time the discussion
Admittedly, I don’t talk much about the negatives and this is a subject that I haven’t addressed. I tend to attempt to encourage the reader to realize whose they are and what’s available to we believers in the Lord Jesus. However, this is a slight oversight. To deny or ignore the existence of evil is
I realize that this smacks of, “if at first you don’t succeed… try, try again”. True. But the question is – is this how you react, is this your mindset? Or do you think, ‘this wasn’t the best choice… now what?’ Or do you throw your hands up and walk away? Was it really a
very irritating. Do you ever find yourself in that predicament? As I’ve said multiple times… sometimes we are our own worse enemy. Many times we do the devil’s work on us and he just sits back and watches us downplay who we are and what we are able to do. Why do we do this! I
Whose witness are you? For the Defense? Or for the Prosecution? Is your witness true and honest? Or do you only accuse, and not necessarily with any (personal witness) facts. Do you witness from your own experience or by hearsay? Because, that’s what you do. You witness to what you believe, how you believe, what’s
