Your reputation precedes you? Know what it is? Do others know of you before they meet you? Have you carefully sculpted what and how you present you (and does your behavior prove it)? Have you designed you? Or are you one who lets the chips fall where they may, the old ‘what you see is […]
“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7, AMP) Believe this? Do you believe we are ‘controlled’ by what’s in our hearts? Is the heart, not the head, the source and ‘director’ of our words and behaviors? If it’s the heart that leads… where and how? Hmmmm… think on this verse

We are all equal. I did not say ‘the same’. I said equal. in one place in scripture it says that God is no respecter of people, doesn’t show partiality (Acts 10:34). But, to get really specific: “For all of you who were baptized into Christ [into a spiritual union with the Christ, the Anointed]
Do we hold God to a standard? Do we compare Him to…??? Don’t dismiss this question out of hand because I suspect we do… maybe not overtly, but subconsciously? We may not acknowledge this but I still suspect we do. Our, ‘but you did this for (fill in the blank)’ thoughts or our seeking why

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
YOU are a trophy for God! Betcha you never thought of yourself in this light. I know I certainly didn’t. Can’t take credit for the revelation… a pastor was giving a message from Galatians and made the comment. Now before you dismiss it out of hand… think about it. And, you are not only a
First consider 2 scriptures: “Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 5:8, AMP) “But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses [to
Hmmm… does this mean, “I believe”? And when I say, I believe, do I really mean, I think? Related they are but they aren’t the same. At least to me. For me, ‘I think’ means that I have come to a conclusion, a point of understanding leading to a decision and an act… BUT, I
