We know that when we come to God we must believe that he exists and that it is worth our bother searching him out, for he will reward those that diligently search. We’re told in Proverbs to make it our primary goal to get to know him more and then he will direct our paths. […]
GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
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 […]
GOT A GUT FEELING?
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, […]
LIES ALL LIES
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 […]
EXERCISE
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 […]

Job 30:17 Days of affliction lead to “bones pierced at night” Psalms 6:2-6 My depression leads me to cry all night and my bones are “vexed” ie agitated, anxious, dismayed Psalms […]
FIGHT OR FLIGHT? God’s design
God loves passion! Little babies are born with tons of passion! But our passion must be controlled and directed and then dropped; or it will burn the place down. However, if we try to not be passionate in order to prevent the fire from getting out of control, we will go nowhere and do nothing […]
TURN A BLIND EYE
“There are none so blind as those who will not see!” I know that pharaoh’s heart was hardened by God, but only after he had hardened his own heart. (See Exodus 8:15, 32, 9:34) In fact, God bends over backwards to figure out what stubborn skeptics will use in order to justify their blindness. He […]
Lift Up Others’ Hanging Hands
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; Hebrews 12:12 Take a minute and watch the people around you, maybe go over to the mall or the grocery store. Notice how few people are smiling, walking with a firm step full of life, standing up straight, looking people in the eye. […]
