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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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, […]
Remember the famous quote from president Kennedy? “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” I will have quite a few people who have promised to pray for me tomorrow when I have my new right hip put in. This will by my first ever surgery […]
The truth won’t work on someone who WON’T examine themselves or accept feedback. PASSIVE AGGRESSION: Irritating others by getting them to count on us then not coming through while fooling ourselves by believing that we have good intentions and are actually unusually loving, kind, gentle, patient, faithful, peaceful. We cause others to count on us […]
You know that I have always been excited about the power of words to help people. What is true? What works? One of the puzzles over the years have been people who are great at memorizing the truth and spotting it’s practical application for others and unable to use it themselves. Patients with the diagnoses of borderline personality […]
