The devil loves to grab a delicious worm and stick his hook into it to spoil it. That doesn’t mean that the worm is no good. In like manner the new age people like to take one of God’s good ideas and twist it to the point that we faithful followers of Jesus are leery […]

WISDOM
Everyone wants wisdom and to be considered wise. Not everyone wants to admit that their natural thoughts are not already wise. People all believe that they have common-sense, but the truth is that common sense is extremely rare. They add knowledge to knowledge and this does not produce wisdom but rather makes them puffed up.

HUMILITY
God blesses the humble person and resists the proud. If I humble myself in the sight of the Lord, he will lift me up. But what is humility? Try to define this yourself, but do not confuse humility with humiliation which is admitting how messed up and weak and foolish I am and being filled […]

MERCY
GOD’S AMAZING GIFT MERCY-helping me benefit from the consequences of sin, mine and others sin. (Freedom from the penalty of sin.) . First he takes on himself the consequences that would destroy me. Like a good parent with a child that has disobediently broken a $2000 window, he pays the part of the debt I […]

FREEDOM
What is FREEDOM? Think with me: if I want to know what God thinks, and if I am humble, I will ask a simple question and get pretty close to the God’s answer every time. The question is “What do I think, what seems logical and comfortable to me? And what would the opposite of […]

CHARITY
The other day I quoted in church from Peter who said that in the end times people, because of their lust would come up with evolution and deny that God created everything by speaking it into existence. Instead they believe that all things have continued the same from the beginning. 2 Peter 3:5 Afterwards, a […]

HOPE
When is the last time you heard a sermon on the need to DO hope and how to DO hope. You see, Faith Hope and Charity, would be better understood by “verbing” them: faithing, hoping , and charitying. Hope is something we are to do not just feel good that things will be better in […]
