WHO IS IN CHARGE ?

WHO CAUSES DISASTERS: GOD OR SATAN?

The Bible says that God is omnipotent; he can do anything (Gen 17:1, 18:14, Ex 6:3, Job 42:2, Luke 1:37, Mark 10:27, Rev 19:6). Man's fate is in God's hands (1 Sam 2:6-7).

God is omniscient (Ps 139:1-6, Prov 15:3, 5:21, Isa 44:7, Matt 12:25, and many others).

God is also good, just and righteous (Deut 32:4, Dan 9:14, and many others).

God also created everything (Gen 1, Prov 26:10, Col 1:16, Eph 3:9, Rev 4:11, etc.). Including evil… Continue

Who Are the Meek?

Meekness is not weakness. Sometimes we confuse the two. But the difference between a meek person and weak person is this: a weak person can't do anything. A meek person, on the other hand, can do something but chooses not to.

Jesus said, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5). The word meek from the original language was used to describe reining in a stallion. It is the idea of a horse…

Fast-A Three Day Journey

I strongly believe that if God has called one person to preach the Word, but yet that person says no or keeps putting it off, God will send someone else in that position. For example: one time at church I felt like I needed to pray for someone with hands on their backs, but I didn't. The push of God was so strong that I began to cry, but I was too scared. God kept saying, "Go do it. Don't be afraid." But I ignored Him. I turned around and saw that someone else was praying for this person.…

PRAISE GOD!!

I just thought I'd share with you some wonderful news. It might seem small and trivial to others but for those of you who have a relationship with God, you will see it is no small thing. Some of you may know my beautiful husband, Gordon, is in a nursing home with end-stage Alzheimer's and cannot talk, and cannot walk (albeit without a handling belt and a nurse either side); if he tries to walk, his legs - which are like sticks - turn to jelly and he has suffered many falls. He is now…

No condemnation ... what the heck does that mean? Romans 8.1

Here we go—another ‘tion’ word in Romans.

Condemnation – the state of being condemned

Justification – the act of being made right with God

Sanctification – the process of the Holy Spirit working in us to make us more like Christ.

We have just gotten 'up close and personal' with Paul as he struggled with his sin condition, and then we turn the page, and he tells us that, in spite of our sin, if we are in Christ, we are not condemned … we are not doomed. (key…

The Blessing to my 18 yr old Son

8 March 2011

Ryan,

Well, the little boy is now a man! Happy 18th Birthday.

I so wish that as your Dad, I could take you by the hand when you wake up each morning and guide you through all the pitfalls that lie ahead. Throw the big yellow WARNING signs up that say “DANGER AHEAD” rather it be with your relationships, your future career, your financial business, all those things that life has out there.

I also wish I could be there for every time that I see you smile. Oh how… Continue

A Perfect Friend

PROVERBS 18:24 RSV

24 There are friends who pretend to be friends, but there is a

friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Would you like to have a perfect friend?

A friend who loved you no matter what you did.

A friend who would always be there when you needed them.

A friend who knew you intimately yet still loved you.

God Is Like

I thought you all might like these little sayings that someone else wrote. They are so true. God is like Bayer Asprin- He works miracles. God is like a Ford- He's got a better idea. God is like Coke- He's the real thing. God is like- Hallmark Cards- He cares enough to send His best. God is like- Tide He gets the stains out, the others leave behind. God is like General Electric- He brings good things to life. God is like Wal-Mart-He has everything. God is like Alka-Seltzer-Try Him, You'll like… Continue

On resisting temptation ... or not. Romans 7

“There was a time in my life that I built highways to temptation. Meeting them at the door took too long. Now I find that there are very few temptations that I am interested in pursuing. Is that wisdom, depression, boredom or God?” a reader wrote, in response to “Meet them at the door, and don’t let them in,” my last morning briefing.

Wow! Now that is such an interesting personal insight, isn’t it? Where he admits that he formerly entertained temptation, now he seems to have…

Pride and Boasting

The truth of the gospel is offensive to our pride. Pride suggests that enough goodness can substitute for belief in the Son of God. FAITH requires a humble admission that we are helpless to redeem ourselves. We are justified by FAITH apart from works of the Law. - Rom. 3:27,28

Meet them at the door, and don't let them in!

Good Morning~

So, we’ve been talking about sin . . . about the struggle that is part of the human condition . . .

about Paul’s admission that ‘while he knows the good he ought to do,

this is the thing he does not do’!

Here’s the question—from whence does temptation come?

Does God tempt us?

If not … where does the temptation come from??

Hmmmm … consider this from James:

“No one, when tempted, should say, "I am…

God Will.... Bring you Thru.

As someone who has gone thru many struggles in life, oftentimes longing for the end of a certain situation that I was experiencing at the moment, I can say of a surety that "God... will bring you thru. "

It may not be the way you want, or expect, but, when we come to him, we have to learn how to trust him, even when there appears no way out of our situation. He is working in the background, and of that, we can be sure.

He loves us with a love that… Continue

"You Give them something to eat."

"You Give Them Something to Eat"

(En Español)

"Consequently, King Agrippa, I did not prove disobedient to the heavenly vision." —Acts 26:19

What I have come to believe concerning the Lord's glory and its manifestation in the church is supported by many Scriptures. Yet, it was through a night vision in 1971 that God granted me insight into His plan. In this spiritual encounter, I saw a great metropolis languishing under the weight of a deep and terrible darkness.… Continue

"American Dream" Lyrics

“American Dream” -Casting Crowns

All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy

But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul

But he's moving on full steam

He's chasing the American dream

And he's gonna give his family finer things

“Not this time son I've no time to waste

Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play”

And then he slips into his new BMW

And drives farther and farther and farther away

Cause he works…

argumentively

I wonder if somehow God looks @ me in much the same fashion as I do with my own children...I have never been one to confront, argue or debate for any length of time.. It is a waste of my energy.. I have one uh-maz-ing child who just makes my head tilt...being a parent I have to wonder, Is this how I frustrate my Father in Heaven??? Perhaps not with my words as my child does but with my actions of argument. I have to believe He looks at me at times, shakes his head, and says, U know I…
