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

That’s how all of us are called… just as we are. And no one is excluded, regardless of how despicable our sins. The bottom line really is that Jesus came for you, for me, for all of us. All He asked is that our faith be placed in Him to cleanse us, save us, and
We are told numerous times that we, as in WE, need to renew our minds. But exactly what does this mean? (Always remember that when we are asked, commanded to do something, that it really is something we can do.) Scripture provides many verses that speak to this issue: 2 Timothy 1:7, Jeremiah 33:3, Matthew 12:34-35, Proverbs
I’ve written about fear before. It is true that when faith exists, fear has no place to go. Fear can never coexist with Faith – faith is always stronger. Do notice that I never said it was easier. Do you have fears in your life? Most people do and attempt to avoid them at all
