[Writer’s note: Discussing ‘judgment’ is a bit presumptuous since countless books have been written. This is only a beginning discussion, an introduction. For many believers, it’s one study they really don’t want to begin. But there is wonderful news. Yes we all face Judgment, and No it won’t be devastating… except when we realize the […]
This thought/phrase comes from a story in Esther (4). It was a time of decision on whether to speak/act or remain silent. It was a life or death situation and Esther was the only voice, but the potential result from her action could be her death. She was in place…’for such a time as this’.

How many times in scripture has ‘God answered’? Innumerable. Do you recall ANY instance of Him not responding to a prayer, a request, a question… anything? Obviously I believe He always responds. Could the problem be that we haven’t always been alert, listening to the answer? Or, maybe the answer isn’t the one we want?
Disclaimer: read the following as an introduction. It is impossible to fully consider fear and love in a simple blog post, but I can suggest this as a teaser study for you and a promise that if you engage in it, it will profoundly affect you and everything you know and are. I do not
Bottom line: sin is sin. Makes no difference if we choose to acknowledge (fill in the blank) as sin, if the Word says it is – then it is. The Authority? God. How do we know? Because God made it known to us in His Word. We know. One very clear ‘proof’ is when we

Synonyms: irreplaceable, irrecoverable, irredeemable, irreversible… this I interpret to mean a done deal, can’t and won’t be undone. Thankfully, scripture gives
Happen to you? Of course. It really is immaterial how you got to ‘wrong’… you did! So did the world stop? No.? Was it catastrophic? How did it affect and/or change you? others? What did you DO about being ‘wrong’? We can gain some comfort and perspective when we read Proverbs. There is a wealth

I believe with all my heart that touching lives is the single most important thing we can do – every day. Today is not only the first day of your life… it could be the last, how do you want it to be remembered? What do you want to ‘accomplish’? What’s important? I would argue
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
Just write down any questions that you may have and I will get back to you in a jiffy!
