The Progressive Journey
I often view this journey as a progression from me to you to we.
The me stage appears to be ok for an infant. They need attention, nourishment, and much milk. Our Heavenly Father makes more allowances for me in the infancy stage.
As we progress (and He expects us...
Dance of Fire
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” ~Jeremiah 18:1-2
I still remember it.
It was at a time when I had accomplished just about every goal I had set in life.
Then...
In this world we are going to have enemies, whether or not we are followers of Jesus Christ. But if we are followers of Christ, and if we are living for him, and if we are walking in obedience to his commands in holy living, and if we are not walking in sin, we are going to have enemies who are...
“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his...
Going Deeper,
Addressing the Need Beyond Sin
Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.” ~John 4:13-14...
Suffering with Christ
(Not an easy lesson)
The path that Christians are called to walk is not easy. The revelation of Jesus to the world is about the infinite love of the Father. To see Jesus is to see the Father. Jesus shows us the passionate love that God has for all of us. He brings to our...
The Cons and Pros of Caring of What Others Think of Us
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is? ~Matthew 16:13
Should We Care What Others Think of Us?
Depends . . . Why does another’s opinion of us...
It really has nothing to do with the pagan roots of the holiday. That is in the past. What I object to and what I believe God objects to is what is happening in the present.
The Focus on Santa Claus
For one, Christmas is primarily about Santa Claus. It does not matter if you have never done...
Jesus opened the door to something previously unavailable, life after death... not open to all, but only to those repentant of the self serving ways of mankind. God will stamp out any adversarial spirits, elohim or human alike, that have chosen not to switch allegiance. Most, unfortunately have...
People like to seek ways to have scripture suit their own ideas, in effect redefining good and evil to suit their own purposes and opinions, utilizing the forbidden knowledge for our own purposes as we have always done.
It says what it says and needs no middlemen or interpretation. Jesus' two...
Luke 2:13-15 (NLT)
13 Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in highest heaven,
and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”
15 When the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other...
“So Jesus again said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to...
Do We Really Have a Choice?
Have you ever considered that question? The topic of choices is all over the bible. Others tell us love is a choice and we can choose to forgive. Unfortunately, we human beings have perpetually gravitated towards evil over good.
Do we really have...

Rigoted still spoke for it. "There will be pests anyway, and having a wall around us will protect what we grow for the food we need."
Deseradar said, "But you are speaking for a wall around our whole settlement with the homes we have now, that still need finishing. It would be much more work...
“For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written,
