What do you think? Do YOU have or exercise Free Will? Or, are you a fatalist? This position really does give you a ‘way out’ because you don’t have any responsibility if you have no control. This point is sufficient for me to NOT believe in fatalism. Fatalism is nothing more than a lame excuse! […]
Do you get those feelings that you’ve missed it? Or worse, blown it? That all you’re currently doing is marking time and or languishing somewhere at the back of a very dusty shelf?

Some of the more remarkable statements Jesus made was to tell us, unmistakably, why He came. It is an incredible list of what He brings us so that we can live the abundant life. None of His ‘gifts’ are insignificant and they all provide us with a foundation. Do we appropriate them for ourselves and
You do realize that there is no way you can repay the Lord for what He’s done for you and keeps doing… yes? And that it has never been an understanding, perception that you deserve His consideration. Then again… that really isn’t the question. So what DO you do? Is it a bit like what

While I realize that the title sounds like a ‘duh’… we often don’t apply that thinking. Once we, because it is we that do this, put any one or any thing in cement – they’re (we’re) stuck, nothing can move. Cement is not designed to be flexible, it’s design so that whatever is in it

One of the very first posts I wrote (3/4/10**) was on Character… and it typically is implied in all my posts. Remember, we all are in a continuous process of developing our character. Yes, we slip, sin, err but we also discover, confirm and grow. Some of the thoughts from 2010 were: **If there is
