Have you ever thought about how many times in scripture we read the words, ‘I will’ from the Lord. Another example, there are 365 verses that say – ‘do not fear’. Incredible – one for each day. If we would only read one verse a day, how would we look on our days and lives? […]
I’m fond of saying, ‘you can only do… what you can do’. Have no idea where this phrase originated, but it IS true. Yes? There’s also the, ‘it is what it is’ comment or response. If I use these 2 phrases then why do I have such problems applying this philosophy? Because it really is
is that they do happen.” This was a line spoken by the lead character in one of my favorite British programs, Father Brown. It’s true you know. Miracles do happen… it’s just that we don’t always see with our spiritual eyes, only with our physical. Too often we really don’t realize what has happened and

This is a ‘who’ not a ‘what’ question. Do YOU know WHO you believe in? Do you know why? Believing involves so many aspects , ‘categories’, and components that it can be difficult at times really understanding who we believe in and why? How do you choose/decide who you believe in? Do you look at

The women haven’t advanced their ‘case’ either by doing precisely the
Do you ‘like’ structure? Whose? Do you place your own structure for yourself or allow others to place structure on you? No choice? Of course there’s choice! Point is if you allow others to place the structure, who do you trust to have your best interests in mine when providing it? And when I said
Has the attempt been made on you to fear you into something? That if you don’t – or do – (fill in the blank) something dire will happen? How does this make you feel? Minimally… irritated! Doesn’t work. If fear is the motivator then whatever is ‘changed’ has no foundation. It will last only as
“Judgments are a confession of character.” Just read that on a FB post. What a terrific observation.True that! And a wake up call? Surprised? I’m not certain we all realize this or that others may ‘judge’ us by our judgments… but it is a logical progression – yes? Do you engage, consciously(?), in doing the same
Most of us live our Christian lives somewhere between accepting Jesus as Lord and the ‘professional’ ministry. We try to live our lives, albeit in the trenches, as best we can. Many have no idea of the abundant, rich life that await us. This state is because we… don’t realize or don’t act on the
