If you are feeling alone, lost, in a desert or dry place, confused, frustrated, etc. don’t just sit down. There’s a saying that if you feel like you’re going through hell… don’t stop. You certainly don’t want to stay in those places … do you? I remember someone (?) saying that if you feel your prayers […]

Do you know? What does this mean for you? Is this knowledge alive and active in your life…daily? Does it direct your thoughts and actions… especially how you treat other people? The rest of that sentence is: “for the Bible tells me so.” Yes? Again, do you believe it? Is the Bible, the Word of

“… But there is a [true, loving] friend who [is reliable and] sticks closer than a brother.” (Proverbs 18:24, AMP) I would propose that the one person in the Triune God that we know the least is the Holy Spirit and His work. We really shouldn’t since His work is ongoing in our lives each day. And like the Father and Son,
Do you believe you do this waaay too often? And are you correct in your assessment of you? Do you misstep … a lot? More importantly – do you know why? You can’t correct that which you don’t know, so if you don’t… you need to do what needs doing in order to be aware.

“So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the [preaching of the] message concerning Christ.” (Romans 10:17,AMP) Do you know and understand what you hear? Or do you listen to the first half of the sentence and assume you know the rest? Or maybe you simply aren’t interested in what’s being said?
Recently my niece shared the following post: “don’t die with your song still inside of you”. This comment captured my attention. It’s true, and, I believe, the definition of ‘regret’. More importantly… does (or how does) this describe you? Remember. you can change, you can sing your song (and not just quietly hum). The obvious
[Disclaimer: I realize that there are countless number of books written about covenants and what they mean and how they form our relationship. This is really an introductory discussion but I believe, especially for Christians, that it is important to realize that when we become Christians, we enter into a covenant with God. Therefore, it’s
