Sixteen (16) things that happen in our journey toward God as we are growing into our natural new life in Christ. The Apostle Paul outlined them in Ephesians 1. Interesting.
Experiencing gossip “the other way around”
What if we all spoke good words about others? What a good place this would be!
Only my God Jesus makes me perfect in this moment
I confessed, repented, rejected sin. This very moment I am perfect. The Bible tells me so. I trust in God’s written Word.
God’s biggest warnings to us today
What mental gymnastics must apostates practice in order to by-pass all the warnings applicable to them? Are you aware of the many, many warnings God has given to us in Scripture?
How do you treat Christian brothers and sisters who have fallen into sin?
The most important thing about sin is: Examine yourself and get right with God! But if you see a fellow Christian sin, what is the Scriptural thing to do?
Forgiving and restoring the brother caught in a sin
Have you been treating actual “brothers” and sisters like the world does when they catch a sinner? Scripture calls for us to “restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness” – not snub and drub MerWeb: snubbing – harshly criticize or reprimand. What?! Treat them quick and harsh? Get down and slander and gossip about them to others? Put down, slap down? A Christian who, in a moment of failure – falls… is not to be classified as “an immoral” person.
Forgive me oh Lord for I know I have sinned
Do you share with God your failures, your sins, what you need from Him? More than I know “I am short of holy“. So I pray about it.
Different reactions to God’s work on earth in believers
What is your reaction to God working His will through believers like Charlie Kirk? Is He working in your life?
What fellowship have you with Darkness?
To say you have it, but then don’t walk it – means you lie and “do not practice the truth”, according to 1 John 1:6. You think THAT saved you?
Your angels in Heaven are looking out for you. Fear not.
What do you know about the presence of angels in your life? Hebrews 1:13-14 says they serve us.
Verses I have written – poetry, satire, and make-believe
These are verses of poetry, satire, and make-believe written to highlight Truths in the Bible.
Who But You Oh Lord
Who can I look to for this day? Who but You oh Lord. I trust in Jesus. He is my Friend.
Living it Deep
What will it be – an end without Christ? I choose to end with Christ as Savior.
Love ’em in Jesus’ Name
Being saved by Jesus, being with Jesus, loving Jesus… teaches us how to love others as He Himself loved. The love of Jesus extended to all around Him, bar none.
We are in God’s era of hope – grace, love, and forgiveness in Jesus’ Name
Today we are definitely in God’s era of hope – Hope in Christ. But it will come to an abrupt end when Jesus raptures up His followers. Don’t let it end without That Hope in You.
Pray joyfully with thanks to God for He is good
Entering into prayer is a joyful experience. Because I am His sheep. I’m in His pasture. He is my Shepherd. All is good with my soul.
What you love more than God
What do you love a lot, really-really-a-LOT? Does it take you away from God?
Parable of the Fig Tree was fulfilled in 1948
The Fig Tree parable (in Luke 21:29-36) is Jesus’ prophecy that points to the rebirth of Israel – fulfilled in 1948. What a miracle that was! And it started a countdown to when Jesus would come back to earth.
Better is thinking with God’s Word
Are you “an abandoned construction site… piles of stuff, bits and pieces strewn around, ugly windows gaping holes….” Thinking with the thousands around you, with their traditions deep in media, popular, sung and preached? Better is thinking with God’s Word.
Get on God’s side – and be in the truth
We know “God’s side” by what He communicated to us in the Bible. We get on God’s side by following the Jesus of the Bible. Don’t be deceived away from the Truth, away from salvation in Jesus.
God did not speak in riddles with the vision to John on the Isle of Patmos
Are you religiously following vision-riddled thoughts imagined by mere puny humans – or “the true and exact words of God” (Revelation 19:9)?
Choose loving habits – one by one by one
Every breathing moment is a new moment to choose to be loving to others – or not. I do not have to be what I was in the past. I don’t have to be what I was this morning! I can choose to confess and repent — and be loving now. I’m developing habits of love!
What Scripture supports and defends and we should also
Life issues are for all of us to talk about. Issues we face are not “political”. Being righteous is not “politics”. Let’s not label everything as “politics”. Living is not political – it’s life. Enough already!
Conform or Resist the pressures
Can people in the dark see your light. You standing up for Jesus? Standing strong against evil is a norm in Christian living. I want to be a more righteous person. I refuse to conform to the enemies of our soul. How about you?
Do you know yourself well …enough?
How well do you know your heart, your “self”? Do you know yourself well enough to truely align your heart with God’s heart?
God is “faithful and absolutely trustworthy” to you in your salvation
God does not save the unlucky person, even by His marvelous grace, who does not follow Him in obedience. You don’t just waltz in, say “Okay God. Looks good”, then walk out and do your own thing. The Godman Jesus said “Follow Me”. The concept of getting saved without then obeying and following Jesus is not in the Bible.
I’m Christian because He chose me
The two doctrines are true: He chooses us (1 Peter 2:9), and we have a choice to make: “Whosoever will may come”. Have you chosen Him for yourself? Only God is Good. Choose to make that “eternal divide” permanent – for goodness sake.
Dealing with the sins of others
There are plenty of sins to go around. And it is so easy to condemn others. But we grieve God when we condemn a sinner. So, what’s a better way to go?
The Holy Spirit only resides in true believers
There is a rather chilling phenomena happening right now, these days of what Jesus called “the end of this age” in which we are lucky to be living now. This phenom is: so-called Christians are not actually real, true Christians.
Get your 2:2 on!
Revelation 2:2 says we should not tolerate those who call themselves “special messengers, personally chosen representatives, of Christ”. Do you?
