I love starting my day with a cuppa and chatting with the Lord. Offensive? Not reverential enough? Presumptuous? Why??? Exactly what is your relationship with Him? ‘Out there’? For crisis times? Honestly, I don’t believe this is what the Lord desires. Coming to Him only when we need something (for ourselves or others) doesn’t seem […]

that there are promises and gifts galore just waiting for you? There are!!! The truly sad reality is that many Christians, people who have accepted Jesus as their Lord, are unaware. Either they’ve not learned or been taught Who they now are and Whose they are. These gifts and promises are not just idle words
In the context I’m saying this, it really means a pity party – legitimate or not. To be honest, we all engage in this activity … occasionally. Occasionally needs to be the operative word and the duration needs to be minimal. The, ‘Why’ do we go through these time are as varied as the cause(s).

Do you need protecting? And is it you need someone/thing to do the protecting? or add to your protection?Why do you need protecting? Most important, protection from….? Identifying who/what you need protecting from is critical. And, what is it you can do to enhance your own protection? There are many scriptures, over 30, that relate
I always describe my writing as not being rocket science … which got me to thinking about how salvation can be characterized as not being rocket science. Think about it a moment. What are we told? “That whosoever believes will be saved (John 3:15) and “There is no other name (Jesus – Acts 4:12). Simple
Often used as a backhanded ‘compliment’ or a put down. Not necessarily fair. The functions this serves are: 1- you are also hearing what you are saying to others thus confirming what you believe, 2- you build up confidence in yourself as well as the listener about what is important and valued, 3- if not
