I can’t listen and talk at the same time. I really don’t believe anyone can… except for that small percentage that can because they’re only listening to themselves. These people genuinely love to hear the sound of their own voice, though they would vociferously deny this. The ‘proof; is that sometimes their response has nothing […]
What is your opinion, stand on works? Is your reaction – “look at all I’m doing, of course I believe in works – that’s what I do!” For a moment consider Ephesians 2:8-10 “For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from

Have you ever tried to get your head around the idea, the concept, the reality of GOD? I suspect every person who comes to the saving knowledge and makes Jesus their Lord has wrestled with this question more than once. It is HUGE and there’s no way we could have created God… as the skeptics

Trustable. Are you trustable? It probably would help if I provided my definition for this word so you’d know how I was defining and expressing this word. I do realize that most people would use ‘trustworthy’ which is a great word and more well known and understood, but I like ‘trustable’. In my world of
My goodness… I didn’t realize that I was sooo performance based! No, not in relation to others, as a basis of comparison – just in terms of me. And while some of you who are more familiar with me, I suspect this comes as no great shock. Was it my family? my friends? my standard?
