GOD’S AMAZING GIFT MERCY-helping me benefit from the consequences of sin, mine and others sin. (Freedom from the penalty of sin.) . First he takes on himself the consequences that would destroy me. Like a good parent with a child that has disobediently broken a $2000 window, he pays the part of the debt I […]

FREEDOM
What is FREEDOM? Think with me: if I want to know what God thinks, and if I am humble, I will ask a simple question and get pretty close to the God’s answer every time. The question is “What do I think, what seems logical and comfortable to me? And what would the opposite of […]
CHARITY
The other day I quoted in church from Peter who said that in the end times people, because of their lust would come up with evolution and deny that God created everything by speaking it into existence. Instead they believe that all things have continued the same from the beginning. 2 Peter 3:5 Afterwards, a […]
HOPE
When is the last time you heard a sermon on the need to DO hope and how to DO hope. You see, Faith Hope and Charity, would be better understood by “verbing” them: faithing, hoping , and charitying. Hope is something we are to do not just feel good that things will be better in […]

Grace, mercy and peace are three things that: I desperately need from God in order to deal with my SIN However I could not earn any of them, so it is must be a free undeserved GIFT from God to me. Mercy is God helping me BENEFIT from the consequences of my sin and others […]

(Pretty easy huh?) To react with stinking-thinking, foolish-feelings, awful-actions. (WE may now pick from the following popular options or invent our own,: […]
STRESS MANAGEMENT
Worry is something we take! So how much worry should I invest in tomorrow? None? Not even for Food or Clothing? Does God want me to run around naked and starving? No! That is precisely why it is a waste of energy to worry about these things–my heavenly father knows that I need these. Besides, […]
The scriptures suggest that I should be aware of what I am saying with my face and my body posture and the way I care for myself. Do I look people in the eye and SMILE, or look blankly past them? Do I lean towards them when they are talking or look slightly preoccupied? I […]
REWIRE YOUR BRAIN!
RADICAL MINDFULNESS: And be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing (metamorphosis) of your mind. Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus. For His ways are not my ways nor His thoughts my thoughts. So take every thought into captivity. As I think in my heart […]
