Before I launch deeper into the worldview/Oprah discussion, I felt prompted to send this today.  There is nothing like the truth and power found in the Word of God.  I am confident that there are some of you who need to consider God’s promises to you at this very time . . . Pakistan?  Ghana?  UK?  Singapore?  The Philippines?  Wherever you find yourself, in whatever circumstances – these promises are for you.

Promises are significant and telling.  When someone keeps his promises to…

What am I for?

As time has gone on, I have taken a stand on some issues here at AllAboutGod.NET, for which I sometimes get accused of being offensive, hostile or an agitator. None of those are my goals, nor my heart. I did not come here to offend, I came here to be a blessing and hopefully be an agent of the Love of Christ. I am not for anything or anyone, but the Gospel of Christ; I do not represent any church, denomination or group. I would…

Prosperity, a sacred treasure:

Prosperity is not ~ to produce a tangible fortune,

It is to succeed;

Success is not ~ to gain money,

It is to progress;

To progress is not ~ to expand worldly possessions,

It is to mature in character;

Maturity hasn’t a matter in common with money or appointed authority,

Maturity denotes a conduct that builds positive characteristics,

It embodies the persona of…

What is your worldview?  We’ve all got one . . . a worldview.  Simply, it is the way we see the world . . . our philosophy of life.  Whether or not we have articulated it, we live by it every day.  Our worldview is shaped by many things—upbringing, education, what we read and watch, (Oprah), opinions of friends and family, and the culture in which we live.

The question I put before you today is this:

              Is your worldview a godly one?

                     Is it…

Colossians 3

Living as Those Made Alive in Christ

Contentment seems elusive these days. 

I sat across from her at lunch today, as she told me “something is missing from my life”.  To look at her, you certainly wouldn’t think that!  I mean, she is attractive, affluent, of mature age and wisdom, well put together, confident, and has been in a friendship with God for many, many years.  Yet she is unsettled.  After talking for a while, I think we hit on the reason.  Perhaps her struggle might just define yours, so let’s talk.  Yesterday…

This is the day the Lord has made.  I will rejoice and be glad in it!  The psalmist said it, but my heart is right there with him today.  I am sitting on the beach, looking out at the Pacific Ocean, and remembering.  Driving the two miles down the hill from my SoCal house, ‘me and my posse of boys’ noted how many American flags were displayed.  Today is that day that Americans have designated Memorial Day – a day to remember those who have sacrificially served our country.

I wish to…

I am about to sleep. But as usual, before I sleep, I opened my Bible and read Psalm 142.

My two kids are with me. We are just done evening devotion. And after that, I played chess with my second son, Ashriel Edward. He is 10. 

While reading Psalm 142, I talked to my self as usual. This is my way of talking to…

Spring cleaning is a time when we clean out the mess, open the windows and let the warmth and light shine in. Here are seven ways to spring clean your life:

1) Clean out Pride and replace it with Humility.

But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” (James 4:6)

He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. (Psalm 25:9)

“‘They shall be Mine,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘On the day that I make them My jewels.’” Malachi 3:17

Jewels are precious things; the Hebrew word for jewels means a treasure. A treasure is made up of costly things: gold, and diamonds and rubies. To God, Christians are His jewels, His own special treasure!

They are jewels for their sparkling quality.

Their holiness shines and sparkles in God’s eyes! They “shine like stars in the…

                                                THE GOSPEL IS FOR EVERYONE

The gospel is for everyone not just a chosen few

Jesus shed his precious blood for every one of you…

                                             ARE YOU PLUGGED INTO THE POWER

Are you plugged into the power of the Holy Ghost

Are you singing halliluja with the heavenly host…

So many people need me and Father I need you

To give me strength to do the job you've given me to do

If we are not our own but the Lord's 

It is plain both what error is to be shunned

And to what end the actions of our lives ought to be directed

We are not our own

Therefore, neither is our own reason or will to rule our acts and counsels

We are not our own

Therefore, let us not make it our end to seek what may be agreeable to our carnal nature

We are not our own

Therefore, as far as possible, let us forget…
