Poem: Prone to Error

Challenges in Life are meant to be,

assisting us to reach maturity.

For our reaction to circumstance

marks personal growth beyond luck and chance.

Proven is our ability to learn,

expanding mental constraints as hearts burn.

Walking in upright, godly perfection

complements Jehovah's desire for Man's compassion.

The lasting goal is surely not religious fervor,

but moving past our fallen state of being...

Prone to error.

Poem: Forgiveness

We are wronged by people daily,

but to not forgive is unconscionable.

The Universal King had died for all;

for in eternity's view, we're pardonable.

He has given absolute amnesty

to everyone who has accepted Him.

Make no mistake about this unmerited immunity -

Grace's favor (over the course of Life) wears thin.

Death is inevitable, and our spirits

this mortal frame will leave;

so take advantage of God's condonation

to be granted a heavenly… Continue

57 CENT CHURCH

A little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it was 'too crowded.'

'I can't go to Sunday School,' she sobbed to the pastor as he walked by.

Seeing her shabby, unkempt appearance, the pastor guessed the reason and, taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday school class. The child was so happy…

True Freedom

Romans 8:15 "You did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry "Abba Father"

Through out the ages men and women have fought for what they believed was freedom. Now that we have obtained a higher level of national security, the concern was shifted to how we can remain free. But…

Hope preforms a hat trick.

Now that we have God's approval by faith, we have peace with God because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done. Through Christ we can approach God and stand in his favor. So we brag because of our confidence (hope) that we will receive glory from God. But that's not all. We also brag when we are suffering. We know that suffering creates endurance, endurance… Continue

Always in context. Philippians 1

This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus.

I am writing to all of God’s holy people in Philippi who belong to Christ Jesus, including the elders and deacons.

May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it…

not inorgant of it's not scheming

I don't want Satan to outwit us. After all, we are not ignorant about Satan's scheming 2Cor 2:11

The enemy knows who and what you are to God. It knows what we are good at better, then we know most of the time. So it will work hard at making us feel insecure, in areas we are the most threat to it. Or, it will try to allure us into… Continue

Accountability

Ephesians 4:29

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful…

...something to offer each other.

We all have something to offer each other. Yes, we can all pray for each other, and have kind words but, there is more. We each have a view of God, an aspect of Him others need to know. When the Body is as One, the world has a greater understanding of God. To be able to share God w/ others is good. When we show each other in the Body, the aspect of Jesus that we each possess, is step one. Step two is, accept one… Continue

THE CHRISTIAN WALK

The Christian walk is absolutely thrilling, pleasant and full of energy. It is a safe walk and is joy un-speakable. We are walking with the Lord and it is His presence that makes all the difference. Even though we may encounter hidden snares and walk an unfamiliar path there is no fear of getting lost. We are never on our own as Jesus is accompanying us. Jn 10:11, 14, 15 Jesus died for us and knows his own.

Walking behind the Lord:

Jn 10:4 And when he puts forth his own…

Faith holds on to the knowledge of our Righteousness, which is in God through Christ Jesus

This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Rom 3:22-24

Christian Halloween Alternatives

Many Christians choose not to observe Halloween. As one of the most popular holidays in our culture—for some more celebrated than Christmas—it can present a challenge for Christian families, especially when children are involved. Although I won't discuss here all the "whys" and "why nots," and what the Bible says about Halloween, I will offer some fun and practical alternatives to enjoy this year with your…

SHOULD CHRISTIANS BE CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN

CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT BE CELEBRATING THE TRADITION OF HALLOWEEN?

"Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes." Song of Solomon 2:15

Foxes sometime in search of food would enter into the grape orchards and devour the grapes and spoil the crop. However, the little foxes were too small to reach the grape bunches so they would chew on the vines and it would kill the whole vine. Instead of the farmer just losing his crop,…

how clear John saw himself.

In John 3:22-36, we are given a clear picture about who John the Baptist was, and how he saw himself and Jesus. John draws the image beautifully for us. Jesus at one side of the river, and His disciples were baptizing people. John in another part of the river and he was baptizing. Many times when the enemy attacks, it is sutler, this was not one of those times. The enemy was clearly trying to get jealously going in John’s heart. As w/ most… Continue
