Rambling: Reunited

This afternoon I watched briefly as the remains of the Calgary Herald Reporter and the four soldiers were removed from the Air Force Plane and placed into one of the five hearses. Then the families, loved ones and friends each placed a rose, white, yellow or red on the coffins that contained remains of loved ones. I have watched this scene numerous times but never did it move me as it did today. Each family member, each wife, sister, daughter, brother, son, each friend had looked forward to… Continue

Unite in Prayer

May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. - 1 Thessalonians 5:23

Holiness means wholeness. God wants holy people who are whole-hearted and true, for His service and for the work of praying. These are the sort of people God wants leaders and these are the kind out of which the praying class is formed.

When a person prays every part of his being… Continue

The Power of Confidence

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

Paul was a confident man. During his earlier years, the apostle’s positive attitude came from trusting in his credentials, namely, his background, education, and position. However, his encounter with the… Continue

New Year Priorities

Matthew 6:33-6:33

INTRO.- ILL.- A reporter covering a coal-mine disaster wrote a story that began: “God looked at the grief today in this little West Virginia mining town, and He wept.” The city editor emailed back: “Forget the mine cave-in. Interview God.”

Obviously, getting to know God in a personal way should be our greatest priority in life. If we plan on spending eternity with Him then it seems like a good idea to get acquainted with Him… Continue

“The Party Is Over”!

Christmas has come gone again, and the New Year is here. I trust everyone had an awesome Holiday Season. But now it is time to get back to work and to put our celebrations behind us for a while.

I have never had the opportunity to attend a Bible College, University, or Seminary, so this is not prepared to level in which someone who has had the opportunity to attend one. Maybe someday I may get the opportunity to attend one.

Walking Through the Valley

1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.

3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:1-4

In the Bible, valleys symbolize periods of hardship and suffering. David… Continue

"Set the sail!"

".... whatsoever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." (Mark 11:24)

When we ask God for something that we know is in His will, we must also be ready to receive the answer.

When Hudson Taylor went to China, he made the voyage on a sailing ship. As it neared the channel between the southern Malat peninsula and the island of Sumatra, the missionary heard an urgent knock on his stateroom door. He opened it, and there stood the captain… Continue

Scrap Heap

Scrap Heap

You perhaps recall the story of the blacksmith who gave his heart to Jesus. Though living a more Godly life, still he was not prospering materially. In fact, it seems that from the time of his conversion more trouble, affliction and loss were sustained than ever before. Everything seemed to be going wrong.

One day a friend…

LOVE BEYOND DEATH

The love of God is beyond all comprehension. Gods Love for YOU began before you were born. Before you were conceived.

It doesn't matter if you were conceived out of rape, or an accident, or by Invetro, God loves you and knew you before He even created the world you live in.

The life and death of His Son, Jesus Christ, is directly linked to the love God has for You. This…

What does it means to be complete? A Life to Live to the Fullest....( Part 4 )

As we encountered trials, many people tried to question our Creator where to the point-- blaming Him!!! then.. some will go to friends, where they will suggest to finish the problems through drinking!!!

Waiting on the Lord

7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret—it only causes harm. Psalm 37:7-8

Ever notice how some teenagers will ask a question but then rush out the door before you can respond? We act the same way toward God when we don't wait on Him. We need several things in order to develop a lifestyle of waiting on… Continue
