A few months ago I used the following scripture as the focus for a post. I’m using 2 Timothy 1:12 again… but with a different perspective/emphasis. “I am not ashamed; for I know Him [and I am personally acquainted with Him] whom I have believed [with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in the […]

It’s true you know. Many times the devil will use the most insignificant, the Itty Bitty things of life, to trip us up. You’d think that after a number of these incidents that we’d get smarter… not necessarily. Experience doesn’t always bring wisdom. We typically are on guard against the larger temptations and/or seductions and

Do/Have you ever want/ed to do ‘something’ even though you know there’s really nothing you can do? In my case, even though I knew it was totally impossible, I wanted to ‘repay’ the Lord for all He did and continues to do for me. But… is this even possible? Short answer – NO! It’s not
“I, the Lord, search and examine the mind, I test the heart, To give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.” [Jeremiah 17:10, AMP] Search… Examine… Test… the heart. This will validate us in who and what we are and do. But the Father doesn’t just ‘consider’ this

Yes, I know I’ve written on forgiveness before… this topic always bears repeating. Besides, there are so many different aspects to the word – forgive. This point is – are you quick to forgive, requested or not? How good a forgiver are you? Are you a willing forgiver? Do you forgive and forget? What if
1 Corinthians 13, the Love chapter, is one of the more known and popular chapters in scripture. Often spoken at weddings, it always gives information and a warm fuzzy feeling. However, though less spoken or taught about, it also tells us what Love isn’t. What love isn’t can also teach us. The first 3 verses
Dos and Don’ts are not options when the source and authority is the Lord and His Word. We aren’t even asked to ‘like’ the do/don’t. They are … are’s. And if you noticed, they are also rather blatant – you really can’t say you don’t understand. They say what they say. Granted, you may not
