My last time reading through the Bible I catalogued the different names of God and Jesus came up with 114. All are powerful, such as The Mighty One, The Almighty, Holy One, The Ancient of Days, The Sunrise From on High and many other beautiful names. Isaiah uses a word that can be translated as […]
Is God Mean?
Why do bad things happen to good people? In Genesis 3:17-19, God made it clear that, for man: “Cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life. Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you…..for you are dust, and to dust you shall […]
The Keys That Can Open Any Door
I’m a REALTOR and often carry a key for any property I am trying to sell – in case another agent loses the key from the lockbox. That way I don’t have to bother my clients. I just have another copy of the key made. There are two keys needed in some cases, one for […]
Does Everyone Always Agree With You?
Probably not….but many people make the assumption that, just because they have a certain belief that, in their minds, is the only real truth. Maybe the person you have the relationship with thinks just the opposite. I remember when a leading rock band sent out free downloaded music at the launch of a new smart […]
He Wants You Alone
Crime is rising exponentially since leftist attorney’s general got rid of cash bail. The stalker wants you alone….at night….and afraid. Actually, that’s the way Satan wants you, too. He doesn’t want you in Bible Studies or Small Groups or at church. He wants you when you are not fellowshipping, but are alone. He’s just waiting […]
Anxiety – The Result Of Being On The Wrong Path
Knowing where you are and where you are going is the best way to calm down. If we go to God He will direct our way forward. Where is that map? In God’s Word. Those of us who were old enough at the time remember the words, “Houston, we have a problem.” The crew was […]
Performance Review
Satan loves to condemn us, whispering in our ear that God really hasn’t done anything for us or else we would be (richer, more sucessful, thinner or more popular – you pick your poison!). He says your field of dreams is full of weeds and you’ll never succeed. What can give us greater peace and […]
Part of Solution or The Problem?
When South Africa faced apartheid many just shrugged their shoulders as if to say, “Well, what can I do?” Not Nelson Mandela. He knew he was the one God was calling on to stand against it and spent twenty-seven years in prison as a result. When Nazis were exterminating Jews during WWII, Cory ten Boom […]
Feeling Alone?
Sometimes I’m in a dark place mentally and emotionally. I can only see a glimmer of light. Not long ago I felt better about life and my future. Not then. How do I change my circumstances? It is impossible for me to get out of this hole by myself. God is just waiting to be […]
The Golden Rule Revisited
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Pretty simple, right? We all want to be accepted for who we are and only a few people close to us are trusted with that. So that also means we have to accept others the way they are. We want their love and others […]
