“And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him.” [1 John 5: 14-15, ESV] 1 John is […]

I sometimes wonder if we’ve totally misunderstand what witnessing is all about. First of all, it’s not You who saves others – only the Lord can (1 Corinthians 3:6-9). And if you respond with – ‘I know that!’, then what’s the problem about witnessing to others who the Lord is and what He does? In
Back in 2011 I wrote a blog post titled: ‘Poverty Mentality’. I sometimes believe we in ’21 are caught in the grip of this thinking. Legitimately, from a standpoint of the world’s standards, it could be argued that this is true. But, for just a moment, think not about the carnal issues of life but

“But in your hearts set Christ apart [as holy—acknowledging Him, giving Him first place in your lives] as Lord. Always be ready to give a [logical] defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope and confident assurance [elicited by faith] that is within you, yet [do it] with gentleness and respect.” (1

You do understand that content and complacent are not the same thing? Complacent, in my world, is something to be avoided at all cost. But have you learned to be content in all situations? I haven’t. I do work on this but I’m definitely not there. From a different perspective, do you live your life
