Seeking A Perfect God

There are things we want, and there are costs involved. That is just a fact of life. We all accept it, often without a second thought. However, do we consider the maintenance costs? It is called the "Total Cost of Ownership". For instance, I looked up the TCO for the following vehicles (for...

John 16:31-33 (NLT) Jesus asked, “Do you finally believe? But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when you will be scattered, each one going his own way, leaving me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. What is your new Norm? Has your life been scattered? Are you...

After reading Paul's post here, I was inspired to write about this topic, which has been on my mind for a while. See, often I hear people say "It takes two", and I think that is a bit short sighted. In reality, I think it takes three! Coincidence that the Godhead is made up of the Father, the...

It is going to happen. There will be times when our effort is not enough, our knowledge is too shallow, our strength fades, our words are inadequate, our timing is off, and we fail. It can be painful. There may be costs involved. There may be a loss of trust, and that is hard to gain back...

What is destruction? Taking something apart? Leaving it in pieces? Breaking something beyond repair? More importantly, are you destructive? In what way? To what or whom? Yourself? Your family or friends? Coworkers or strangers? Are you manipulative? Do you play on the emotions of...

I'm picking up on a theme today... of song lyrics... and this is one that I always go back to. We sang this at one of the summer camps where I was a councillor. "I will call upon The Lord, Who is worthy to be praised, and so, shall I be saved from my enemy. The Lord liveth and blessed be my...

Please join with me in praise of The Glorious God. Each day praise Him knowing that His goodness exceeds our current understanding. Let us prepare our hearts, then pray for those in need. Pray for healing. Pray for strength. Pray for peace. Now let us rejoice, sing, and celebrate for all...

In recent days, I've experienced such a deep, overwhelming, and refreshing in-pouring of the Holy Spirit; of abundant blessing; of new vision. This is the type of experience that compels you to respond by pouring yourself out. I simply cannot hold onto God's blessing, to hoard it, to store it...

There are times when regret, doubt, and sadness cut straight through my heart and pierce my soul. It seems I can't listen to the song "Take Courage" without taking a deep dive for a time. Of course, in spirit, I know that all is well in Heaven. I know all is well when the Holy Spirit is...

If I never existed, I wouldn't care for obvious reasons. If I existed in a form in which I was not able to comprehend my own existence, or not able to care, then back to "I wouldn't care." However, it seems as though our Creator God has chosen for us to exist, for us to (somewhat?) comprehend...

For around a year now, I've been working through some challenges; some internal, some external. In some way, I'm equating this to a dry season. However, I'm not talking about a spiritually dry season, as I know what THAT is like. In fact, this is very much the opposite. I'm more at peace...

Lately, my days have been filled with worship music. Sometimes I'm using headphones, sometimes speakers in the room I'm in, sometimes playing through all the speakers in my house. At first, it was a way to forget about the stress for a few minutes. Now, I'm almost always listening to...
