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. […]

FORGIVENESS
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. […]

SING, HUM, LISTEN–JOYFUL MUSIC
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 […]

IT’S BETTER THAN NOTHING?
The question is, “If I follow Christ and his practical truths, will I wind up with nothing and isn’t the little the devil’s way offers me better than nothing?” For example someone is single or in a loveless marriage and God says, “No sex outside of marriage.” True pornography or adultery is hollow and empty […]
