The Protestant Anchorite

It's about devotion. I'm talking about the kind of devotion that we naturally, without any kind of compulsion, give to our Lover. Even though I am 66 years old, I easily remember the last time I was in love with a woman. I thought about her constantly. It was hard to do anything else. I wanted only to be with her. The intensity of my feelings could easily be compared to fire. Once we were married, I often felt that I wanted to join with her so completely that we would become one. But…

The Protestant Anchorite

Protestants tend to think of any kind of monasticism as being a Roman Catholic thing, but there were monks long before the Roman Catholic Church existed. The first monks were probably those who came out of first, second, and third century Jerusalem, Syria, and Egypt. At first, they were not bound by any particular monastic order (like the Order of Saint Benedict), and the only vows they were bound by were the ones they made directly to God. However, they tended to have certain things in…

Let God change the way you think

Let God change the way you think. You know before we came to Christ our minds were set on things that pertain to the world. So we were constantly pursuing things that brought only death to us. As the word of God says in Romans 8:6-A mind focused on the flesh is doomed to death.

So God knows before we knew him, we just couldn't think differently. You see are mind was only subjected to ourselves and the evil influence of the devil. We were captains.But now that we are a new creations…

Grace and Peace. Titus 1.4

Grace and Peace. There is something about this pairing that shoots straight to my heart. It sounds good, it sounds right, and if you stop and think about it, what greater thing could you offer someone, what kinder sentiment?

May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior give you grace and peace~1

Paul knew grace. His entire life had been turned upside down by the grace of God—by the grace of God, I am what I am—he said of himself.2 And so, to Titus, who he left to…

James 1:12-21 We should devote ourself to God

Rom 8:35 Who will separate us from the love of God? Can trouble, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or a violent death do this?

Rom 8:36 As it is written, "For your sake we are being put to death all day long. We are thought of as sheep headed for slaughter."

Rom 8:37 In all these things we are triumphantly victorious due to the one who loved us.…

Of Godliness and Contentment. 1 Timothy 6.6-10

“Divinely wise souls often infuriate the worldly-wise because they always see things from the Divine point of view. The worldly are willing to let anyone believe in God if he pleases, but only on condition that a belief in God will mean no more than belief in anything else. They will allow God, provided that God does not matter.…

Jesus first

You have a lot of things going on right now.But something is missing in .your life . You have to much going on and you feel like life is getting hectic. You are probably emotionally drain, spiritual weary. It looks like we have to change our priorities .Let's take a look at the word of God in Luke 10:38-As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.Luke 10:39-…

Truth is Paramount. 1 Timothy 6.3-5

‘Ah, he just likes to hear himself talk!’ I remember my dad saying about someone he could barely stand because he went on and on talking. (Kinda’ funny, because boy, did my dad like to talk!) But it is true that we generally do like the sound of our own voice; truly, most of us like to talk. Besides that, we like to come across as clever and well spoken.

In the ancient world in which Paul and Timothy resided, a high premium was placed on being a fine speaker or orator. Greek…

Acts of Faith

ACTS OF FAITH

by Gary Wilkerson

Once the apostle Peter was miraculously freed from prison (see Acts 12:7-11),

he went to the house of prayer to report the miracle to those who had been

interceding for him. As Peter knocked, the group was still fervently praying

inside. They had no idea how effective their prayers for their brother had

been.

Indeed,…
