Thoughts for 3-2-08

Psalm 55: 16-18

"As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice, He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me"

Praying evening, morning, and noon is certainly an excellent way to maintain correct priorities throughout every day. Daniel followed this pattern (Daniel 6:10), as did Peter (Acts 10:9-10). The… Continue

Television commercials

A fifth grade teacher in a Christian school asked her class to look at TV commercials and see if they could use them in some way to communicate ideas about God.

Here are some of the results: scroll down.

Searching for something...

I am still searching for my purpose in life, believe it or not. Exactly what is it that I am supposed to do? This is especially troubling since I found out that the heart attack I survived in November 2005 is actually called "the widow maker," as it kills about 95% of its victims.

I have been advised to: go into counseling (even counseling psychology), become a teaching pastor, start writing, go into discipleship, and/or become a chaplain at a hospital (look at all my experience!) or… Continue

Christians in Business--the little-known local church and missions engine

I was at my local gas station yesterday and the pumps I usually frequent (I have to spend between 20 cents and 60 cents above premium gas because my car uses diesel), I had to head on over to the truck pumps.

As I was filling up my eyes noticed a tow truck on the other side of the pump island with the words "Serving you and the Lord." I couldn't help starting into a conversation to the delight of the tow truck owner as we were serving the same purpose.

Whenever I meet a… Continue

Trust

What would happen if the things that are immediate problems in your life went as bad as you imagine they could? Where would you be? It's a horrible question and you might wonder why I would ask it unless of course I wanted to cause you pain and grief. But the truth is it's a question God has asked me many times when I was in the middle of something I thought was unbearable. What could possibly happen to us that could take us out of his hands. Where could we end up that he couldn't reach us? I'm… Continue

Thank you Lord

I just want to say thanks and praise to this wonderful site; when I have felt weak and down. I know I have a place to come where I can be lifted up by so many other Christians. I love my Bible as well; but sometimes I need you; all my beautiful friends love and acceptance. Praise God for You, AllaboutGod.net!!!!! Mandy

Questions for Evolutionists

Material by Dr. Kent Hovind. For those that find themselves intersecting in conversations with "smart people", you may find this material quite good to cause them to rethink the basis for their world view.

The test of any theory is whether or not it provides answers to basic questions. Some well-meaning but misguided people think evolution is a reasonable theory to explain man’s questions about the universe. Evolution is not a good theory—it is just a pagan religion masquerading as… Continue

So you think you are wise?

Here is a collection of verses that demonstrate God's plan to frustrate and confound those that consider themselves wise and intelligent. For their intelligence is man made and cannot be mixed with the wisdom of God. Man's attempt at explaining the world apart from God is an example of devolution as we have drifted further and further from the union we had with God in the Garden of Eden. That perfect union and glory in the presence of God is an unimaginable gift to those that accept… Continue

Tracking Generation Types across the Kings of Judah

Recent studies of American History highlight a lot of “interesting” theories. Left wing Historians often are guilty of “Presentism” – which is applying the standards and values of their particular leanings to people who lived 80 – 100 – even 400 years ago to show how hollow, murderous, or stupid they were. Right wing historians have some of the same problems in order to refute Left Wing politics but both make the mistake of studying time and history as a linear progression that wanders across… Continue

Blog Numero Trois- I'm procrastinating

I have a micro-economics test tomorrow, I should be studying. Part of me is hoping he'll cancel and I won't have to go in. It snowed pretty bad. So i'm praying that I will not suffer the consequences of the bad choices that i am making now. The odds that God will honor my prayer are about none. Arrrghhhh!

"What is a carnal Christian?"

Question: "What is a carnal Christian?"

Answer: Can a true Christian be carnal? In answering this question, let’s first define the term "carnal." The word "carnal" is translated from the Greek word "sarkikos," which literally means "fleshly." This descriptive word is seen in the context of Christians in 1 Corinthians 3:1-3. In this passage, the Apostle Paul is addressing the readers as "brethren," a term Paul uses almost exclusively to refer to other Christians, and then goes on to… Continue

FACING HUMAN NATURE ISN'T ALWAYS EASY <a href="http://www.christianglitter.com"><img src="http://off1.picsrc.net/images/chrglt/profileExtras/iLoveJesusWhiteBlinkie.gif" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="h

Even though I have been subjected throughout life to the darker side of human nature, it still never ceases to stun, shock, hurt, amaze, bewilder and frighten me. We are all human. We are all capable of hurting one another in very deep and permanent ways. It is through the grace of God that I am promised eternal life and through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, I am able to resist some pretty ugly things.

Today, I was faced with a challenge that sadly I have had to deal with a lot… Continue

As a Little Child

When we’re Children the world is new and a place to be discovered. As GK Chesterton said, We’re excited not just because Lilly opened a door to find a land of fairies but because Lilly, a small kid just like us, figured out how to open the door. Reality is romantic because it’s mysterious. We don’t know that a rose bush is going to produce the same color rose every year. Next year instead of red they may be yellow. We don’t see things as forgone conclusions; the world still holds mystery and… Continue

Be A Good Example

Be A Good Example

Taken from Pastor Joel Osteen Live Like A Champion

You are always ministering to those around you. Even though you may not be behind a pulpit, your life is your sermon. People watch how you live, how you respond to adversity, how consistent you are and how you treat the people around you. God calls us to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth. This simply means that the way we live should make other people want to be around us and have what we… Continue
