A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF LIES

The Bible says that we are not ignorant of the devils’ devices. His favorite device is a lie,a half truth, a full truth that he suggests I should use to judge and control others and ways that seem right but lead to death. When attacked by one of his lies, I need to spot it […]

ACCEPTING FORGIVENESS

I remember the story about the little boy who was caught stealing cookies and properly chastened by his mother. (No it was not I, what would make you think that?) She then hugged him and told him that he was forgiven but to not take cookies without permission in the future. However, he did not […]

SEND SOMEONE ELSE?

All it takes for evil to triumph is for ME to do nothing! God sought for A man to stand in the gap and he found no one, so the city fell! That is like the case in New York where a lady was murdered on the sidewalk in front of an apartment building while […]

CRAZY BALANCE

WELL WHICH IS IT HABIT or SPONTANAETY-? -FAITH or WORKS? FREE WILL or GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY? I am just not as smart as God so it isn’t surprising that he does not think as I do. I guess that I’d better get used to it! I, trained in a western, Greek type of thinking, I want […]

Everyone remembers the recommendation from President Kennedy, “Ask not what your country can do for you but ask what you can do for your country”.

Why is it that, it is always the person who is messing around or plans to do so, who says, “What’s wrong with you? Don’t you trust me?” Well, frankly, if I can’t even trust myself, why would I trust you? You are the runner-up “chief of sinners” right after me. I, however, am not […]

LIGHT BURDEN/HEAVY BURDEN

Jesus says, “Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and you will find rest! God’s truth is so full of paradoxes. To find relief from heavy burdens I […]

Sick People Need Doctors

Its me! It’s me! It’s me! Dear Great Physician, standing in the need of help! Did you know that one quarter of the New Testament was written by a physician? Jesus himself claimed to be a physician. In Matthew 9:12, Mark 2:17, and Luke 5:31 he says: “Don’t you realize that well people don’t need […]

First: watch for the ambushes and hiding places of the devil. Remember that he can present as an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 2:11 Don’t let the devil […]
