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 […]
The old saying, ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ is universally known and used. However, I would argue that just about everything is in the eye of the beholder and anything can be used as the description/definition of ‘everything’.

I have responded to this ‘question’ before but the question of questions keeps arising. WHY do I ask so many questions? Actually, I think knowing how to ask questions and to build on the answer is one of the more important skills to learn. Also, it has been my mode of teaching and there are
You do realize, don’t you, that God is not a Sugar Daddy? I sometimes think that we do… or that we harbor some kind of hope that He is. Not. Wrong designation. Many new Christians do have this misconceptions and become frustrated when this is not the case. How they come, how anyone would come,

Have you even been in the situation in which you discovered you just might need an attitude adjustment… but in an area that you felt you had already reach an understanding about who you were and how you should act in (fill in the blank) situations? How did this make you feel? Slightly embarrassed? Irritated?
What does your ‘every day’ look like? Does it make you shudder? Are you bored with it? See no glamour? Do you think that others’ every days are more exciting, more fulfilling than yours? How do you populate your ‘every day’? Because in the last as well as the first analysis – it is you defines (who
