A few questions: You do realize you ARE in a battle – yes? Do you know your enemy? Do you feel equipped? Do you believe ‘you win’? There are other questions, but these are essential ones. A few answers: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world […]
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,
What do you do when scripture appears to be diametrically opposite of what you believe/think? Who’s the authority… has the last word? Hint… it isn’t you. No one possesses all the wisdom, all the authority – knows it all – except God. And how does He make this known to us? Through His Word! Let me share

Explain to me, if you can, why we always seem to focus on what we don’t have rather than what we do! Silly really. When we do this we don’t maximize what we have, only moan about what we don’t. And that gets us even further behind/removed from what we should be seeing and doing. Yes, our
Seriously… who chooses, consciously, their life? Do you? Is Fate the ‘chooser’? And you can add as many other ‘determiners’ as you like. Is it ever…Your choice? What’s important is the answer? Who makes your life decisions? I suspect most of us would like to believe that we have the final say… the final determination. But… do we?
I tend to think in terms of… ‘ it ain’t over until the fat lady sings’. In my world of definitions – tenacious. But what happens when she has and it is the worse case scenario? As much as we think we may have planned for the worse case possible (and everything in between)… we rarely do.
What IF the fat lady has sung? Read More »
“… “Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was [at once] a great and wonderful calm [a perfect peacefulness]” This is part of a scripture that relates when Jesus calmed the sea (Matthew 9:23-27, AMP – also Mark 4:35-41). I quoted
