We are always going through… Tests. But I think most of us need to redefine what the word means and does. I believe that the purpose for tests is to help us discover what we don’t know, what we still need to understand. God is not punishing us or displeased with us, He is testing […]
And again I say PROCESS!!!!!!! The ‘older’ I get the more I realize/am fully convinced that all learning is a continual building process. I’m not certain that there is any spiritual issue that is ever ‘one and done’… we are always ‘in process’. It doesn’t mean that we wait to act on/ apply our learning

This is another of my why, oh why’s. I probably can write an entire book on ‘Why’s?’. “For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled and bewildered by them]. I do not practice what I want to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate [and yielding to my human

This ‘know’ is really a different kind of know. Confusing or merely a conundrum?. “…Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God].” [1 Corinthians 2:12, AMP] I must own up to being a Huge ‘I Need to Know’ type person.

Starting with the bottom line… True always matters! But never assume that true’ and ‘matters’ are necessarily synonymous and/or interchangeable. Sometimes our decisions have to be either one or the other (this is a question, not a statement)? So, what’s important to you – that whatever you say or do is true… or that it

“Rejoice always and delight in your faith; be unceasing and persistent in prayer; in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. ” [1 Thessalonians 5:16-18] Let’s face it. Everyone needs a lifeline at some time
How do YOU view ‘gifts’? Especially gifts that come from the Father’s grace and mercy? Then again… all gifts come from Him. I know I’ve written about Grace before. However, I also believe that we grow in our perception, understanding of spiritual matters. These verses in Ephesians 2:8-10, AMP somehow just jumped out at me.

be, to do. And, among other things, to grow. Once you were saved, once you accepted Jesus as your Lord – this began the never ending adventure of discoveries… about yourself, about the Lord, about life, about – everything. And there are so many things to discover, you’ll never run out of spiritual matters to
