TOWARDS SIN (PS: If you don’t like the concept of sin, this blog is not going to add to your comfort. Remember I am a doctor of medicine and rejoice in clarifying just what is wrong so something can be done about it. Even so as a doctor of the heart I love to clarify […]

TOWARDS AUTHORITIES Genesis 20:64Judges 5:9 My (God’s) HEART is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. In I Corinthians 16 15 we read “I beseech you brethren that ye submit yourselves to those that have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints and to everyone that helpeth and laboureth […]
God’s ways never lead to sin, but my response to them can be to sin more. As in Paul’s day where they argued that if their sin led to God pouring out grace which made God look good, then how could he be mad at them for sinning? Maybe I should sin so that grace […]

DON’T BE A HEZEKIAH
Attitudes for elders and not so elders As I am getting older on the outside, although younger on the inside. I need to grab the current opportunities while being more aware of the brevity of life; I have a strong urge to do things that invest in others and the future. I also need to […]
I love to plan out my future, so I construct a great plan and even give God a part in the process by saying “God called me to plan A.” I have found that even picturing a path that, to me, would be great for the kingdom of God (and not make me look too […]
