I ask a lot of questions though I rarely give answers. There are a couple of reasons for this … one is I don’t like to teach and write from the answer. Teaching, writing from the question is far more creative and fun. And yet, when it is spiritual matters there really is only one […]
Definitions are important! Mandatory even. Without them we really don’t know if we are speaking the same ‘language’. You (listener/reader) may not agree with the speaker/writer’s definition, but at least you know why they are saying what they are saying. However we can never use our definitions as litmus tests.

I’m feeling somewhat melancholy right now. Another of my classmates died the other day. And, if you say, at your age not a big surprise. And yet… We were babies of the WWII vintage. This was an entirely different time and yes, that can be said of each generation, but it was really true for
I may have taken a right when I should have continued straight ahead, but I got intrigued with the word – devotional. Do we really know what it means? Do we know how to ‘do’ it? So I did a bit of a deep dive. Most of the scriptural references on this word are found

If He said it …. do you believe it? Scripture says: “All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal
but they DO come. They are an expression of our faith. Faith comes first because without it the works have no foundation. James 2:17-20 ” So too, faith, if it does not have works [to back it up], is by itself dead [inoperative and ineffective].” (v. 17) Had you ever thought and applied this to
Works don’t come first … Read More »
“For Jesus doesn’t change — yesterday, today, tomorrow, He’s always totally himself.” [Hebrews13:8. MSG] I believe most of us are familiar with that verse. It gives us comfort to know that the Lord is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19). We can count on the indisputable fact that He will complete what

Have you ever visualized yourself sitting in your favorite chair and the Lord sitting across from you and you two were just chatting. You weren’t praising, or worshiping, or seeking an answer … just talking. Maybe He was teaching or showing you something. Maybe you were acknowledging something you were contemplating and needed His assistance
