The most radical conversion

Then Saul, still breathing out murderous threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?" "Who are you, Lord?" Saul… Continue

Hoisting Or Foisting

From My Perspective - - -

As our nation is represented in foreign countries, we have heard our national leader offer an apology for the attitude and arrogance of the USA toward other nations. One wonders if this is an attempt at amelioration, or a reintroduction of a proven failed approach 70 years ago of attempted appeasement by then Prime Minister of England, Neville Chamberlain. He returned to England in 1938 and waved a Document and “,,,delivered his famous ‘peace for our… Continue

ONE matters

Acts 8.26-40 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Go south to the road--the desert road--that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the book of Isaiah the prophet. The Spirit told Philip, "Go to that chariot and stay near it." Then Philip ran up to… Continue

Hope, Enduring, and Sustained.

Hope, Enduring, and Sustained.

The Hope that believers have is enduring, and sustained, by our trust in the Lord.

The hope that lies within us is, the hope of a resurrection from the dead, being promised by Jesus. We believe in hope because we are told that, the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead shall also quicken our mortal bodies.

“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken… Continue

just an ordinary guy

Good Morning~

What can God do through one ordinary guy?

Well. . . apparently when he is filled with the Spirit, and obedient, quite a lot! Take a moment to read Acts 8.4-25, http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/index.php?search=Acts%208.4-25;&version=31;&interface=print

The order of names is noteworthy in the Bible. Throughout the gospels, Philip is always listed fifth in the order of disciples--so a 'middle of the pack' kinda guy, not your Type-A Over-achiever… Continue

The Most Beautiful Heart...

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen.

CORRUPTION IS BEING CORRUPTED

From My Perspective - - -

The genius of the Founding Fathers was to establish a nation and government that would be as free as possible from Corruption and Corrupting Influences. On May 24th, 2009, syndicated columnist George Will wrote concerning, “END RUN ON FREE SPEECH.” His opening paragraphs state: “For several decades, most of the ingenuity that liberal academics have invested in First Amendment analysis has aimed to justify limiting the core activity that the amendment was… Continue

Speaking in Tongues

i recently added a comment to the discussion of speaking in tongues. i seem to be the unpopular one on this one. i don't believe that speaking in tongues is screaming gibberish and laying your hands on anyone with in reach. that's just weird and scary. and churches that do this should know that all it does is frighten many new comers away.

in acts the holy spirit filled the desciples and they spoke in the tongues - or languages - of all the tribes that were there. they didn't speak… Continue

Leaders Understand “Experiences”

Proverbs 29:13 (MSG) The poor and their abusers have at least something in common: they can both see—their sight, God's gift!

These two have little in common, at first glance, except their business dealings; but, with all life experiences, there is more here than meets the eye.

Experiences shape us, not by what happens, but by what we do about what happens. The simple common grace of God – expressed as eyesight - is offered to both the oppressor and the… Continue

Being Christian at Work

i can't believe how hard it is for me to express my religion at work. i think it's because i lived such a non-christian life before and they all know about that one. it would seem wierd to them that i suddenly made a complete 180. and the last thing i want/need is tension from my co-workers. i don't want to be known as the bible-thumping-christian-psycho-lady.

People at work don't talk or act the same way i do now and it can be akward. last night some guy made a mention of "was jesus… Continue

The actions of a group of German church members in 1934 to resist the Nazi regime still serve as a powerful model for churches today according to the General Secretary of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC).
