Share List Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth leaks. No, that was not a spelling error, I meant to say that!! The words that come out of our mouth are those that we’ve been thinking and meditating on for a while! That is why it is so vital that we fill our minds with good things! Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things …
Share List Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. This has been one of the easiest scriptures for my children to memorize! First of all, because it rhymes, and secondly because they’ve heard it quoted lots! John and I have always been (or at least purpose to be) on their case when it came to what they are speaking! We wanted to be sure that they …
Share List The phrase, ‘the just shall live by faith’ is found four times in the bible: Habakkuk 2:4 Romans 1:17 Galatians 3:11 Hebrew 10:38 But there are many other phrases that are similar, and indicate the same meaning!! From what I’ve observed in ministry, one of the biggest tendencies in believers is to be drawn back into the trap of guilt and penance. The thinking that we ought to make some sort of restitution for our ‘transgressions’! But …
Share List I love reading the gospels! It just blesses me so to read about all that Jesus did…daily!!! Every day he went about doing good and healing all the oppressed!!! How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him! (Acts 10:38) I never get tired of those stories. In fact, as I get to them …
Share List Have you ever wondered how to actually and practically apply the Word of God to your life?? I mean really, how do we walk by faith? Let me give you an example the Lord showed me many years ago: The opportunity to forgive never comes without a prior opportunity to take offence! Yes, that’s right!! We wouldn’t ever have to forgive anybody if people would just never irritate us!!! And we all know that will never happen …
Share List God is not moved by your need, He is moved by your faith! Now before you get upset with me, think about it: If He was moved by your need, he would be servant to the devil! The devil roams about seeking whom he may devour and then God would chase after him fixing all the messes the devil creates! That is foolishness, the King of the universe reduced to an errand boy to the devil! However, when we put …
Share List How great the Fathers love for us How vast beyond all measure, That He would send His only Son To make a wretch His treasure!! Powerful lyrics written by Stuart Townend. And did you know that that is exactly what you have become? His, Gods’, treasure! It’s amazing isn’t it? Think about it! You, based on absolutely none of your own merit, are precious, treasured and loved by God your heavenly, eternal Father who never leaves you …
Share List So, how did you do this week? I’m doing a ‘read-through-the-Bible-in-one-year’ plan on my phone and this morning it told me I was “on track”. Are you ‘on track’? Or has the enemy tried to derail you from those decisions you made? If he has, then pick yourself up in the power of Christ, stand up and boldly declare that you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength!! That’s the awesome thing about Jesus: He …
Share List This time of year we hear and see a lot of talk and advertisement about setting goals and making New Years resolutions. I’m not going to tell you anything different. In fact, I want to encourage you to make at least 3 goals for this year! Make them big, put them on a bulletin board, put it in your bedroom, or bathroom or somewhere were you (and maybe only you) can see it.
