The Lord wants me to, RELAX and invest in the seemingly hopeless cases around me–with gusto! To be calm and care intensely, peaceful and passionate, urgently patient, etc. First, he wants me to witness to my daughter and son who have decided to be the “masters” of their own life and decide for themselves what […]
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be MARRIED to another, [even] to him who is raised from the dead (JESUS!), that we should bring forth fruit unto God. Romans 7,4 If I am the bride of Christ, what does that mean in terms of […]
Let’s Watch God Work! A friend writes: (Excellent! I have something that I’d love to see a blog on.) Do you ever notice how we, although imperfect beings, tend to have MUCH higher expectations of ourselves than we do others? We “excuse” others because we know that “nobody’s perfect,” yet the same behavior in ourselves […]
TOWARDS THE SINNER Genesis 8:21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord SAID in his HEART, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; The Lord had just wiped out everyone and everything on the face of the earth except for Noah and his family and the animals […]

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 […]
1 Samuel 2:35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine HEART and in my MIND 1 Samuel 13:14 the Lord hath sought him a man after his own HEART. 2 Samuel 7:21 For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own HEART, hast […]
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 […]
Either God’s promises are true or he is a liar and he claims to be unable to lie. A friend recently texted that she loves Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth me. Still, she has trouble with Psalms 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want, (Presumably because […]
This last week even at church they were talking about football. Is that America’s favorite American thing to spend time on? NO. A counselor was teaching on my inpatient unit and he had everyone ponder what they spend their most time doing. Was it sleep, eating, working , commuting etc. NO A Russian comedian once […]
