Archaeology of the deepest sort

Archaeology: Digging up the Holy Spirit.

(Holy Spirit - Who or what? #2)

I'm fascinated by archaeology, unearthing. Archaeology involves excavation and analysis. Unearthing a workable understanding of the person of the Holy Spirit, based on the truth of God's Word is challenging and exacting and rather tedious at points.

So…

Who or what is it? The Holy Spirit.

Who, or what is it? The Holy Spirit, that is. ONE.

So I'm in the hospital in May for this surreal experience of radio-iodine therapy to kill off any remaining thyroid cancer hangers-on . . . and the capsule please...…

GRIT ...and funerals?

Funerals Are Gritty

[See, I have been talking about G.R.I.T. - what it is, why it is important, and how a believer's apprehending of it is vital to living well and finishing well. All inspired by Angela Duckworth's book by the same name, in which she studies West Point cadets, Green Berets, national spelling bee winners, and what they have in common. And how about Christians who face one trial after another, but continue trusting God, not doubting him? G.R.I.T. As Paul…

The God Series - Humor.

Religion has always painted God as angry, disappointed and a disciplinarian but Christianity acknowledges Him to be personable and loving in His ways and decrees. Yet, even for Christians to conceive that God has a sense of humor can sometimes be a stretch of their knowledge and Faith in accepting this character of God.…

Power of Prayer

By Shirley Dobson

The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.(James 5:16)

I'll never forget the evening that Jim and I, exhausted after a long day, collapsed into bed without completing our usual practice of praying about many things, but especially for our children. We were almost asleep when I remembered.

"Jim," I said, "we haven't prayed for our kids yet…

Those who profess faith in Christ as the Lord of glory, James 2:1-13

Those who profess faith in Christ as the Lord of glory, must not respect persons on account of mere outward circumstances and appearances, in a manner not agreeing with their profession of being disciples of the lowly Jesus. St. James does not here encourage rudeness or disorder: civil respect must be paid; but never such as to influence the proceedings of Christians in disposing of the offices of the church of Christ, or in passing the censures of the church, or in any matter of religion.…

Grit.

Just the word gets me going. The concept of it, why we need it, and the difference it makes even prompted me to take up a paintbrush and capture what it might look like on canvas.

Do you know anyone who possesses grit? This guy does:

"The only thing that is distinctly different about me is: I'm not afraid to

die on a treadmill. I will not be outworked, period. You might have more

Season-able

Season-able?

Summer may be the season people love the most. I've been thinking about why that is ... balmy nights, longer days, flowers in all their glory, watermelon, time at the beach, time at the lake with friends, picnics, more relaxed schedules.

Southern California, where I live, does not really have seasons that are too dramatic-one way or the other, in terms of climate. At an outdoor concert last week, Mac Powell of Third Day,…

Religion and Adoption

When social workers and private fostering agencies place children into temporary care, this is often because they're thinking about how the child will adjust and acclimatise in turbulent situations.

This also helps to provide a similar, secure environment where there is mutual trust and understanding. Religion shapes a lot of our child welfare, so if you believe that you can offer love and support to a child in need, then you should definitely…

This is a rucksack.

Have you ever determined to be happy

or to be positive,

to stop worrying . . .

to live in a state of gratitude

or possibly to be contented,

to only say good things . . .

but you just couldn't break through?

Maybe there is a reason.

Segue . . . quite a few years ago-okay, many years…

How careless, selfish and thoughtless

Many jobs say must have own transportation but not everyone drives, buses stop running at certain hours and cabs add up. Not right for an employee to be stranded by his or herself while the employer and co workers drive home safe and rest. No refunds shows how money hungry people are but sometimes you buy things arent satisfied with and you cant get money back due to peoples greed and selfishness. Then theres so and so not responsible for lost or stolen items, sometimes people lose their stuff.… Continue
