Moving away from unholiness is attainable,

by modifying and monitoring your godless behavior.

Know that you’re called into fellowship with Him;

begin mirroring the traits of our blessed Savior.

For you can do all things through Christ,

who joyfully and faithfully strengthens His Children;

you have been given the necessary Biblical tools

for overcoming Life’s constant pressures of sin.

Turn away from impurity of thoughts…

Poem: Measure of Faith

O Lord, I thank you once more,

for Your measure of faith in me.

I’ve made a decision of how to act,

regardless of what I feel or see.

I chose to release my faith three ways:

by praying, saying and doing what I should.

I trust You Lord to honor Your Word, while…

avoiding the silliness of knocking on wood.

Willingly, I step forward boldly with faith

through the wide doors of opportunities;

having consumed The Word in great quantities,

I…

Where have I been?

So...where have I been? Well...funny you should ask! Hard drive failure...after I got done breathing into a paper bag--I realized there is nothing I can do but exhale, breathe and trust God. Back soon I pray

Psalm 95 NKJV

1 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. 3 For the Lord is the great God, And the great King above all gods. 4 In His hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the hills are His also. 5 The sea is His, for He…

The Will of God and How to recognize it in your life

Many Christians with whom I have spoken often say they are not sure of what the Will of God is for their lives or even how to recognize it!

Romans 12:1 “And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.”

Romans 12:2 “Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this…

God uses it all.

What makes your Heart Sing? #4

In living out our purpose, I have found that God uses everything—our strengths, talents, education, and the tough stuff—sometimes the stuff we do not want anyone else to know. There is…

Daniel 6:26-27 26 I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God, And steadfast forever; His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed, And His dominion shall endure to the end. 27 He delivers and rescues, And He works signs and wonders In heaven and on earth, Who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

Who and When? 1Th 4:13-1Th 4:17

After the rapture or court up: Here is comfort for the relations and friends of those who die in the Lord. Grief for the death of friends is lawful; we may weep for our own loss, though it may be their gain. Christianity does not forbid, and grace does not do away, our natural affections. Yet we must not be excessive in our sorrows; this is too much like those who have no hope of a better life. Death is an unknown thing, and we know…

What will we do in Paradise?

Isaiah 65:17-25 - In the grace and comfort believers have in and from Christ, we are to look for this new heaven and new earth. The former confusions, sins and miseries of the human race, shall be no more remembered or renewed. The approaching happy state of the church is described under a variety of images. He shall be thought to die in his youth, and for his sins, who only lives to the age of a hundred years. The event alone can determine what is meant; but…

So, What’s Your Purpose?

So, What’s Your Purpose? What Makes Your Heart Sing #3

The popular restaurant was noisy. Seems like it always is—whether lunch or dinner. Yet our conversation quickly turned serious when I asked, ‘So, what’s your purpose?’ As people often do, when stalling for time, he asked, ‘What?’ I lowered my head, adjusted my expression and said, ‘Yes, you heard my question … why do you think you are here? What is your purpose?’ He rubbed his chin, rubbing his jawbone…

What will Paradise look like?

Luke 23:43 And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

God made the visible paradise in the eastern part of the world: but that which we behold with the eyes of our mind is the place of everlasting joy and salvation, through the goodness and mercy of God, a most pleasant rest for the souls of the godly, and a most quiet and joyful dwelling.

Rev 21:1-27 The new heaven and the new earth will not be separate from each other; the…

Where is Heaven?

Throughout the Bible, the word “heaven” is used to describe three locations: First, there is the atmosphere that envelops the earth; this is the first heaven. Next, the vast regions of outer space are collectively referred to as “heaven,” or “the heavens”; this is the "second heaven.” Finally, the location of God’s throne is specifically called “the third heaven” by Paul (2 Corinthians.12:2).

Isa 65:17 Take notice! I'm about to create new heavens and…

Never Give Up

It's so easy to get discouraged when we're striving to do what God wants us to do as I found with myself. We see others sliding by-taking shortcut's. And, they seem to have it all. They reject God's way but good things seem to come to them. It's hard work to do the right thing, But in the end, God's blessings do come to those who do God's good will..

He Comforts Us
