    Not Our Home

    Psalm 119:17-24 ESV Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word. Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. I am a sojourner on the earth; hide not your commandments from me! My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all...

    And a fog lifted from their minds, for it was not their desire to commiserate into oblivion

    Yes! Jesus finally found a way for the fog of misinterpretation of the beginning to be mitigated. Principle has begun to reign in our hearts, for all that God has Created. We are above even pity, for our Lord cherishes us - that the Word that He put in our hearts may be for Him and us alone...

    God Is Sovereign..

    I am a firm believer in the sovereignty of God in the salvation of the sinner. This for two reasons. First, there are many Biblical evidences for it (Deuteronomy 7:6-8; John 1:12-13; John 6:37-45; Romans 8-9, etc.). Second, it alone is, and can be, anyone’s certain hope of eternal life. The word...

    When Life Kicks Us Hard

    Habakkuk 3:17-19 ESV Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God...

    How do you guys maintain joy?

    Been christian for maybe almost a year or over, my memories fuzzy. It was really great for starters but overtime I've just spiralled into an unstable mess. The more I tried to get closer to God the further I got. Other people get saved and sure they struggle, but they always overcome, and their...

    Leviticus Drives

    Just to mention of the Book of Leviticus these days, can evoke a groan. We just don’t put ourselves in the shoes of the folks in that book very much. But there is a way to do so, and it gets easier every year in this day and age. It has to do with depression, in other words, the personal...

    Prayer for Non-Christians

    This post is dedicated to all fellow brothers and sisters who are Non Christians. And whom I will like to further pray for are my direct family members including my parents, Fiance and my closest friends. May Lord our God use us as a tool to reach out to them. Words may not win them over, but...

    Gratitude

    "Gratitude is an offering precious in the sight of God, and it is one that the poorest of us can make and be not poorer but richer for having made it." - A. W. Tozer The scriptures speak much on the subject of gratitude; of giving thanks. Here is just a sampling: “Let the peace of Christ...

    Good Counsel

    The Tongue Proverbs 15:1, 2, 4, 7, 23, 28 ESV A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly. A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. The lips of...

    Refreshing our Hearts

    Bear the Weaknesses Romans 15:1-3 NASB Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves. Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his edification. For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches...

    Last Snowfall

    After some bare weather, it's snowing again this morning, I'm going to savior it while it lasts as it may be the last snowfall for this year, it would be great if it lasted through Palm Sunday. Speaking of Lent, something funny and very fruitful has been happening to me throughout Lent, I...

    Trials Have a Purpose

    Trials of Many Kinds James 1:2-4 NIV Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything...
  15. Joyful Seeker

    Okay, they said to introduce myself. I have been a born again believer for 4 decades.

    A brief introduction could be hard for me and my husband would be first to agree. Fitting a word in with me can be difficult at times. I tell many I am not very good with punctuation as I hardly take a breath when speaking so have no idea where a comma may go. LOL. I was raised in the...

    Six Months in and I'm Already Doubting My Salvation

    I feel scared and condemned because I've never felt joy in God. I have no feeling of affection for Him! I know that joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, so the fact that I don't have it terrifies me. I know that Christians should fight for their joy, but how can one fight for their joy if they're...

    Leap for Joy?

    Let’s have a show of hands. How many of us, when we go through tough trials, immediately count it all joy? How many of us delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, and in difficulties? How many of us, when people hate us, when they exclude us and insult us and reject our...

    Heavy of Heart

    I read Psalm 119:17-24 ESV Do you ever feel an overwhelming sadness in your heart which you just can’t quite put into words? You have the heart of God, and you feel deeply what he feels, but these feelings also come from your own experiences in life, the things God has taken you through, and...

    Gothic Subcultures Part V

    27. Glam Goth Goth probably owes just as much to the New Romantic and New Wave movements of the 80’s as it does to Punk for its origins. With its focus on dark clothing, heavy make-up, frilly dandyish clothing, and theatrics, it’s not difficult to see how goth could evolve from the New...
