Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time? Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? (Luke 12: 56-57 NIV) Tough questions Tough questions were asked during Biblical times as we ponder tough ones today. God searches our hearts. Luke, a gifted writer, set out to interview individuals for first hand accounts to circumstances during their day. Jesus spoke in parables to help people understand his point then and now. Every day we look towards the sky to discern the […]

  And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8: 28 NIV) Inner excitement  After writing Wednesday’s blog, an inner excitement began and has not stopped. The words…something good is about to happen popped into my mind and the tune followed. It is wonderful to see evidence of how the Holy Spirit works. I have seen the word “good” in several post this week. God is so awesome! Early development Early in the development of my spiritual walk, I grasped the above […]

“Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech. He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their prayers, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” (1 Peter 3: 10-12 NIV) Choose good over evil Too bad we were not created like the hermit crab.

(1 Thessalonians 4: 7,8 NIV) Freedom Freedom is never free, always a cost. Every July, 4th, we celebrate our declaration of independence from the British empire. Grills will be fired up hot, drinks iced down, and home-made ice cream churned. Families and friends will share in tough topics and laughter as children run about. All ages share the same level of excitement set to watch fire works. […]

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. (Acts 3: 19  NIV) Barriers There is no greater barrier than intentional sin. The most common fallacy for acceptance and tolerance is the fact that everyone sins. Here is the difference…when a Christian sins, conviction will be immediate. We repent, turn to God, and ask for forgiveness. Jesus says, “You are forgiven, go and sin no more.” If we have committed a wrong, we want to make right asap. God’s Word is truth The Word of God […]

Since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.(Colossians 3:9 NIV) Fast breaking news! This story comes from the first-century town of Colosse. Located on a major trade route from the East, a town known for cults. Paul urges them to replace- to put to death whatever belonged to their earthly measure. A new creation When you ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, believe He died and rose on the third day, and confess Jesus as Lord, […]
