    Christ Destroyed Death ( 2Timothy:1 )

    He Brought Life Through The Gospel, This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and take one day at a time. Simplicity is the way to God, we don't need to do more than the talents we were given. Each of us has a talent or trait we were born with. We can nudge it a little this way or...

    I Have Loved You Wit An Everlasting Love ( Jeremiah:31 )

    I Have Drawn You With Unfailing Kindness, What a beautiful proclamation by our Lord. How gently He pours His love out on us and the tap never runs dry. These are words of inspiration for us. If we simply skim over them as we read, we will not gain their entire hope and love and mercy. It is...

    What Is See Is Temporary ( 2Cor.4 )

    What Is Unseen Is Eternal, Outwardly we are wasting away and one day will die, inwardly we are being renewed day by day. Our love for God will never fade away if we keep our faith and never lose heart. Scripture is continually leading us to think inwardly, that is by the Spirit rather than...

    Faith In The Lord

    The art of the heavens Is in our hands, To shape, to paint But never understand. Rather, to accept , To feel, The shivers Echoing in our blood. The joys, the mysteries, Never completely bared, Only the beauty Forever to be shared. As I think of Him And see His face He is the eminent flower, The...

    Seek First The Kingdom Of God ( Matthew: )

    I agree with you, the growth of our spiritual life is directly related to a rigid prayer life. It is prayer that brings us to a new creation that Paul describes. It is a surrender to God and He becomes in us and we are in Him. Once we arrive at that place, we never come back to a life in the...

    Walk Always In The Spirit ( Gal.5 )

    The Desires Of The Flesh Soon Disappear, So rather than living a life of sin, we begin to live a life in grace. We are told in scripture that the fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace and kindness. If we live in those things daily then the power of sin has no control over us. Of course...

    Come To Me With All Your Hearts (Joel:2)

    Don't Let Fear Keep Us Apart, God is making an invitation to all so that all can know that He is talking to everyone. From experience I see people stray away from God or as it is in Christian vernacular; backsliding. Be here God says, no matter what you have done, no matter how bad you think...

    Flesh And Spirit Are In Conflict With Each Other ( Gal.5)

    So It Is Important To Walk By The Spirit, That is why it is really important to strive to grasp what the gifts of the Spirit present to us. Scripture says we have become free from the power of sin over us by the power of Christ crucified. That does not liberate us to carry on with sin and...

    The Lord Will Vindicate Me ( Psalm: 138 )

    His Love Endures Forever, He is with us wherever we go, whatever we do, whoever we are. We can't say that God has abandoned me, or He is not with me, as the psalm says, His love endures forever. In the common vernacular, it is our own fault for taking our eye off the ball. We need to trust...

    Rejoice...Strive For Full Restoration ( 2Cor.13 )

    Be Of One Mind And Live In Peace, That is how Paul is admonishing the Corinthians who were steering away from His teachings. Mostly it was doubt; doubt that Jesus was actually God and doubt that Jesus could do what Paul said he could do. So while he admonishes them, in the end he builds...

    Life's Contemplations

    Life's Contemplations Angels of eternity In the coolness of the shade, Under an aromatic cedar tree, Your heart touches me, And because of your goodness, You're all I can see.

    The Reason The Son Of God Appeared ( 1John:3 )

    Was To Destroy The Devil's Work, As was illustrated in scripture, Jesus was tempted by the evil one who was never able to entice Jesus and stormed away. Our focus is not to fear the evil one but to love God with all our hearts. To fear the evil one is to not trust God. Scripture says that...

    Meek or Humble

    Eph.32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ When we think of others before ourselves, we will be both meek and humble. As Jesus said upon the washing of the feet "I came to serve, not to be served. We have one life to live on this planet...
