I believe that it is a mistake to suggest to our children that sin is just nasty and no fun at all. They will notice that there is a law against children drinking, having sex, smoking etc but no law against eating dirt. They will conclude that it must be because the illegal things are […]
A blind man came to Jesus and Jesus asked him what he wanted. Sounds like a dumb question right? The man was blind. However maybe it isn’t such a dumb question. Luke 18:41 Deep in my heart are desires that I am not entirely aware of and that ultimately control my motivation, drive and gratitude. […]
What it DOES and DOES NOT mean Forgiveness Does Mean That I: Do not let what others or life has done to me control me, shut me down to new truth and ministry or become an excuse to sin. (I need to remember that knowing to do good and not doing it because I have […]
I think that the problem starts with assuming that, “Well, I am perfectly sane and those people don’t agree with me so they must be insane.” The truth is that we are all, naturally insane! So why do we whine about human beings doing insane things? What else could they do! Insane people do and […]
He sure is not one or the other. I love it when Joshua meets the pre-incarnate Jesus, (This is when everyone else falls on their face and Jesus has to say, “Don’t worry I love you get up”) Not Joshua, he wants to know who’s side Jesus is on. I love the Lord’s reply, “Why […]
Psalm 127 says that there is no point to doing anything if God is not in it and if he did not ask me to do it. However, if he is in it, I need to get up at a reasonable time–enjoy my labor–quit when it is time to quit–and get a good nights’ sleep. […]
Dr. Bell,Thank you for your thoughtful response to our questions. We both found this information rather fascinating. Upon discussing your info on the preprogrammed “maps” of the nor-epinephrine cortex with my friend, we were both interested in how these “maps” are programmed. Are they inherited at conception through DNA (which I am interested in yet do not understand) […]
I long to lead people to worship God for his practical advice. All Scripture gives me practical truth that will show me I’m worse than I realized, then fix the mess it has exposed, purify, perfect, and equip me to help others. God is so smart and caring, yes, and kind and powerful, etc., etc. […]
What a brilliant plan! God designed people to pass on what they have learned and he designed children, ages 0 to12, to suck it up and hold on to it. Then , as a teen , they may add, to what they have learned, their own spin on things and they, as a young adult, […]
There is a whole discipline of helping people with moods and memory and reasoning by the use of music. We all know that the “first therapist” was David trying to help king Saul by playing calming music to him. We are commanded to sing in our hearts and make a joyful noise unto the Lord.My […]
