Feeling worthy for heaven? So you say you gave a dollar when you helped the local church and you gave a precious hour to go help a sin sick soul. You’re at the house of God enough, for you… like once or twice a year. Maybe that’s when you clean house, and pray – and […]
Actually act on what you know
“…act upon the knowledge of faith….” – Francis Schaeffer in his book, True Spirituality. Quoted here by Andrée Seu Peterson in her World Magazine article (in 4th paragraph): The power of now …Call forth what’s yours with no double-mindedness. *Featured 2016 photo is Al-Basha, a Christian in Syria who acted on his beliefs – and […]
Do you believe in Napoleon?
Do you believe Napoleon lived? If you believe Napoleon Bonaparte lived, then, by logic, you must believe that Jesus Christ lived. There is more historical evidence to prove the existence and life time of Jesus — than there is that Napoleon ever lived! So what do you think of that? We know more about […]
The Holy Spirit in You?
When we accept Christ, the whole universe becomes our family domain! We become a child of Creator God. In an instant, in that very moment when we confess to God and repent of our sinfulness, and acknowledge Jesus as Lord of our life, Creator God Himself cancels His decree of condemnation against us in His […]
Thinking Is Incidental?
Being an atheist: “It’s incidental to who I am.” – 2018 USA State Senator candidate Is that really what you think… that: How I think is incidental to how I act? That how I think is incidental to what laws and decisions I will support? How ridiculous is that!? A 2018 USA State Senator wannabee […]
Befuddled and Besmirched
People talkin’ ’bout you? Feeling besmirched? Feeling befuddled? Stumbling like a drunk through your day? Getting to the next thing all you can seem to handle? What’s next? Demands and to-do’s piled-up? …no contentment? Is “happy” gone? besmirched: 1) damage the reputation of (someone or something) in the opinion of others. 2) make (something) dirty […]
Saving Knowledge
There is a saving knowledge of Christ, and there is a false knowledge about Christ. One connects you to God and saves you. The other does not lead to Creator God. Do you know the difference? Which type of knowledge do you have? Do you know the difference between the two? Can you discern between […]
Lord, Father, I bow my heart before you
…a prayer for today Oh Lord, Father, I just come to you now in prayer. In my inner soul I kneel before you. Oh my God, thank You for the privilege to come into Your very presence this very moment. Thank you for your goodness, and your kindness. Thank you that you love me – […]
How Prayer Works
Prayer is a mysterious thing, is it not? Praying: I come to God through my spirit, with my soul speaking from my mind and heart. The Bible says God hears and responds to the prayers of His people. Prayer “works” because God is gracious and forgiving and asks us to come into His presence. If […]
Was Graham right -or- Hawking?
Who was correct? Graham -or- Hawking? Billy said “I’ll be in heaven in the future life”, whereas Hawking postulated there is no afterlife, saying heaven “is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.” “One thing’s for sure: Both of these men now know the truth of what happens after death.” – Robin O’Hare […]
Keeping Sin
God… and our prayers. The little verse of Psalm 66:18 teaches us a whole lot about God – and prayer. Just in this tiny verse we see: “If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear” Here it is – said in several different ways (versions): Psalm 66:18 Amplified Bible (AMP) If […]
Stand Strong
I hate to fail. Obviously. Who set’s out to fail?! The same with failing God – sinning. I hate to sin. I don’t consciously set-out to sin, like: “Okay, right now I’m going to go get angry at that… and yell and….” “Okay, this is it. It’s time for me to really hate on Joe […]
Ghosts, Spirits and Demons
Your word is a lamp that gives light wherever I walk. – Psalm 119:105 Contemporary English Version (CEV) What we know from Scripture about …other dimensions… angels, Satan, demons, spirits and ghosts You’ve been there, right? …walking in the dark, hearing sounds in the crannies of the corners, seeing things “move” over there, seeing shadows, […]
The Security of the True Believer
John 6:37 “…the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.” Scripture makes it very very clear that when we, anyone, comes to God in sincerity and truth, bowing our heart to Him in confession and repentance for salvation – – – – we are saved, redeemed, and given eternal life in […]
What God Did for Man
…The Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. God walked the earth as a man… Have you ever wondered how it all got started – the universe, the earth, nature, animals, you and your “like”, mankind? THE BEGINNING. Any belief system has to start with: the start. What is it!? What happened to get all-that-is …into existence? […]
Inexhaustible Patience
“…with inexhaustible patience and [faithful] teaching.” You got it? INexhaustible patience? In our relations with other people, and especially those of the faith, the norm we aspire towards as Christians — is totally unreachable without the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through us. Quite a high standard! 2 Timothy 4:2 Amplified Bible […]
The Righteous Person
Luke 1:17 — It is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous [which is to seek and submit to the will of God]—in order to make ready […]
Distracting Meaningless Things
Childish things, distracting meaningless things, cleverly entangling things, unnecessary weight, sinful deeds. Turn my eyes away from vanity [all those worldly, meaningless things that distract —let Your priorities be mine], And restore me [with renewed energy] in Your ways. – Psalm 119:37 Amplified Bible (AMP) Questions based on 1 Corinthians 13:11, Hebrews 12:1, Hebrews 12:1, Psalm […]
Mars Hill
Acts 17:10-34 …examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so Paul at Berea 10 The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, [a]and when they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, [b]for they received the word with […]
Furnished Proof
…the stairway to Heaven God has “furnished proof to all men” of His existence and of His plan for the ages – by raising Jesus Christ from the dead. What more would we need?! Acts 17:10-34 verses 30-32: 30 Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere […]
More Than Conquerors – In Christ
Photo: More than a conqueror, Nabeel Qureshi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabeel_Qureshi_(author)) – example of victorious Christian faith. What are the beliefs of your faith? What kind of faith are you experiencing as a follower of Jesus Christ? What is your daily experience? What are your expectations of yourself spiritually, your daily walk with God? Do you have one… […]
I have faith
I have faith in God. Jesus replied, “Have faith in God [constantly]. – Mark 11:22 Faith is having a deep “[abiding trust in God and His promises].” (1 Corinthians 13:verse 12 (AMP)) Faith is “the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed).” (Hebrews 11:1) Faith is “an inherent trust and enduring confidence […]
People of Faith and What They Did
Hebrews 11 Amplified Bible (AMP) The Triumphs of Faith 11 Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality —faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] faith the […]
Only God’s Way Leads to Himself
It makes sense that God will have HIS WAY. Why do so many today think God is McDonald’s, saying “Have it your way!” God is not McDonald’s! He will have it His Way, come Hell or High Heaven. It does matter what we believe. We have to agree with God. We have to agree with […]
Habits of Love
Love is something you do. It’s not just a feeling. Love is always sincere. And when it can, love is active. Faking love – is not actual love. Hypocrisy knows nothing about actual love. Romans 12:9 Love is to be sincere and active [the real thing—without guile and hypocrisy]. Doing Love. Your supposed “love” is […]
When talking – choose “nice”
How to converse without offending… Matthew 7:1 Amplified Bible (AMP) “Do not judge and criticize and condemn [others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge], so that you will not be judged [unfairly]. You ever had to “bite your tongue”? Just really really HAD to say something, […]

Predicting Christ
Have you ever done any reading in the Old Testament (OT)? Have you personally seen, there, specifically how the Messiah was predicted? Before He ever arrived on the scene — what was written about Him? And then, have you done a thorough reading of the New Testament (NT)? Have you personally seen, there, the written […]
Accepting Jesus – Plus Some Other
Are you one of those that says one thing and does another? Do you say “I’m a Christian” but you live like …something else? Do you say “Ya, I know I’m not living like I know Jesus would like me to”? Do you acknowledge the dissidence between your “want-a-be” and your whatch-ya-be? Do you vote […]
Religion and Philosophizing
So there were 2 men sitting in a cave, lost, philosophizing about what this cave was all about. One said: Hey, I discovered this note here, says: “Trust me – this cave is dangerous. Get out now.” Sounds good to me. And those bones seem to support what the note says! I’m leaving. The other […]
