    You Have Seen Me And Believe ( John:20 )

    Blessed Are They Who Not Seen Yet Believe, Sometimes when we aren't sure about God, we tend to want to doubt Him when things are not exactly as we would have them be. But faith does not require proof, faith burns deeply within our hearts or it doesn't. If it doesn't there will always be...

    Let Us Draw Near To God With A Sincere Heart ( Hebrews:10)

    Paul goes on to say that our hearts were sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience; having our body washed in pure water. Sometimes it doesn't take too many words to really say something. He says we are being purified with the eternal water of life. Yes of course we make mistakes, we...

    I Want To Know Christ ( Phil.3 )

    The Power Of His Resurrection, Paul is talking about emptying himself from his life as a Pharisee. He considers all he ever knew, all he ever did as garbage. It seems he is very severe in his plunge from the old law into the quest of gaining Christ. It all seems to line up with his later...

    Is Non-denomination Dangerous?

    I'm not sure if this is non denominational. However my choice is reading scripture everyday on my own and meditate on same scripture. Putting myself in God's hands and coming ever closer to Him. I've had some brief experience in denominations and all are quick to nail your feet to the ground...

    What Is Seen 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...

    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...

    I Will Praise The Name Of God In Song ( Psalm:69 )

    I Will Glorify Him In thanksgiving, Here the psalmist is lamenting all the bad things that have happened to Him. He doesn't blame God directly but it is sort of saying, where have you been Lord. Later on he is ready to bargain with God by saying He will do this and that if God helps him...

    Come To Me With All Your Heart ( Hosea:14 )

    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.

    Christ Has Set Us Free ( Gal.6 )

    e Are No Longer Burdened By Slavery, So we wonder what that burden was; it was the chains of the old law. We are no longer shackled by that yoke. The old law led to death and so to be tethered to the old law is putting a burden on us that was removed by Christ crucified. Scripture says...

    His Divine Power Has Given Us Everything We Need ( 2Peter:1 )

    To Live A Godly Life Through Him, God is so wonderful, He doesn't leave a single stone unturned. He sort of micro manages us through His words in scripture. He foresees things which we are unable to do and unable to know. I've heard many say God has turned away from me and even if I pray He...
