Actually, do you go into your day consciously equipped? Do you make certain you have all the resources you need to do your day? Frivolous questions? Hardly! Assuming of course that your goal for the day is to be fruitful, fulfilled, and effective. Yes, I know… you don’t have time for all the prep work […]
Or maybe the question is what do you believe? What are those beliefs, standards, etc. that you stand unwaveringly upon, and what is your authority for these? Do your words and actions confirm this? Do you remember the question about when Jesus returns will He find faith? Do you believe He will return? And, back
Do you? When the focus of your remembering is who the Lord is and what He’s done in your life… your faith is increased. Have you ever considered that in the act of remembering you are building up your faith? Before you take credit for the ‘good’ that came out of the situation… think again.
If you are a Christian, you are in Christ (Romans 3:22-24). “In Christ” is used 77 times in the New Testament, 74 times by the Apostle Paul. I think Paul was intent on letting the new Christians know Who their source was. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has
Have you ever noticed that when the Word gives a directive, it gives the ‘why’ at the same time? You don’t have to seek the reason – it always presents what happens when you do obey and when you don’t. We never read a ‘ because I said so’ comment, contrary to what we practice.

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?

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
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
