When I decided to quit being at war with God, (like a commander surrendering the city to an invader) I wanted to know what were the terms of surrender. How about I give him 10% of my income and the rest his mine to use, however I want? How about I give him Sunday morning […]
What is this business about my needing to study, strive, labor to be quiet? shouldn’t, quiet, just happen? I Thessalonians 4:11. I have always been a quiet person on the outside. For example, when I had the opportunity to give a Sunday morning sermon at a high school reunion, all my friends came up to […]
Happy as the person who does not apply ungodly advice even from godly people. Or hang around with sinners, wishing we could do what they do, or join in with scoffers as they make fun of other people. Instead they meditate day and night on God’s word. They will be like trees that are green […]
God’s ways are not my ways, neither are his thoughts my thoughts. For as the heavens are higher than the earth (this is an infinite distance) so are God’s ways higher than my ways. When I was in the Air Force I was told that an officer never asks his men to do anything he […]
God said: Proverbs 15:13, 15:15, 17:22, Ecclesiastes 8:15, 9:7-9. The Bible says: A merry heart will do me good like a medicine/A merry heart puts a smile on my face and the smile will make my heart merrier (not to mention making other people’s hearts merrier)/ If my heart is merry , I will find […]
These days people just love to take up a stand on one extreme or the other. They then delight in pointing out why the other side is crazy and wrong and why they are right. Balance in the Home Husbands and wives do not seek to solve problems and be a team. They seek to […]
Okay gang, I want to announce a new opportunity. In this hectic day when everyone is so busy, few people have time to pause and read a blog. So I want to thank you, who do read it, for your faithful support. And let you know that there are also podcasts for busy people. I […]
BOWELS OF MERCY: The Bible teaches that our “bowels” are directly connected to our passion and focus:1. Jeremiah 4: 19 My bowels, my bowels! I have pain in my insides and they roar and are unquiet in me; They push me to speak up, and why? Because my soul heard the sound of the trumpet, […]
Here are some more “Practice lie/truth” samples. Remember it is our job to not be ignorant of the Devil’s devices. So try and read the lie and then think of what you would quote at the devil from the Bible. Then you may look at what I came up with. Don’t feel bad if you […]
I know, I Timothy 4:8 Says that bodily exercise profits little. Most translations say that it is profitable but godliness even more. I think this passage is using exercise as an analogy to help me to understand and to motivate me to do what it takes to be godly. Think of the amount of work […]
