Love and Agape Love in the Greek and in the New Testament

December 16, 2024 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

What types of love exist? We find them in the Greek language and in the New Testament. Very varied loves!

I dither dodder, shilly-shally, fritter life away

October 19, 2024 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

What I rather really want to do, is get ready for Jesus to Rapture me up. Instead it seems I dither dodder.

The Lord can restore you

August 30, 2023 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

I was legally damned by God, but now I am legally forgiven. He will never leave me nor forsake me – because I have been born again – redeemed. And now, God continually refreshes and restores my soul. He comforts me.

Wrapped in unselfish love

November 29, 2022 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

From the richness of my soul I am sufficient enough to be loving in all situations.  But if I am not well in my soul, then, well, trouble’s a’ comin’.

Feeling Insignificant

September 17, 2021 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Feeling insignificant — there is a reason I don’t shrink into a dark hole of waaah (where they “call whine-one-one” for a “wahmbulance”).  What could become despair, is slowly drawn to hope….

Living through our tunnel of sorrows

April 27, 2021 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Be it – bearing the effects of our sin, or experiencing personal tragedy, or being racked by the numbing sorrow of death in the family – we can overcome.

He will go before me

April 16, 2021 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

What path are you on? (1) “…walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example]” or (2) “And he will be like a tree firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season; Its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers [and comes to maturity].”

Make Self Talk… God Talk. It goes on and on and on

February 18, 2021 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Speaking to God silently inside your mind: God-Talk… is praying to God without voicing it out loud. “Self Talk” and “God Talk”- He sees into your thoughts, your feelings, your intentions, your falseness or genuineness, your honesty or lies, what you really are inside of your mind and heart.”

King Solomon’s Fool

January 29, 2021 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Without wisdom, you are basically characterized as “a closed-minded, self-confident fool”, according to the wisest man ever on earth, King Solomon. Solomon said, if you are not following “wisdom”, then you are one or more of several not so wise types.

Mutual conversation

October 26, 2020 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Good talk is fun!  Put simply: It involves your mouth voicing words with your brain full on, your heart tuned to “nice“, and another talker involved – some listening ear understanding you, involved mutually in the conversation. If there is no understanding – then there is no communication.  If it’s not mutual, then there is […]

Trophimus I left sick at Miletus

August 10, 2020 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Sometimes we get sick.  And sometimes prayer, as earnest as you can be, leaves us not-healed. What’s with that?

When I find myself in times of trouble, I turn to Jesus

June 23, 2020 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Jesus is our answer in times of trouble. I am learning to cast it all on Him — knowing He cares about me.

Behaving Stupidly

August 16, 2019 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Arrogance and pride.  So easy to see in others.  So difficult to see in myself. The example of Christ leads to rational self evaluation. 

Actually act on what you know

April 12, 2018 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Do you “prefer the plain meaning to the obscurantist theology of unbelief”? Do you “call forth what’s [yours] in Christ without double-mindedness”? (Andrée Seu Peterson) “…act upon the knowledge of faith….” – Francis Schaeffer.

Befuddled and Besmirched

March 25, 2018 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Is your “happy” gone? What’s your problem?  We all have sin we should be working on.  But we do not have to continue in our sin, vile to Jesus.  I try to practice admitting I was wrong. We can turn to God in prayer, confess it all, repent of it all….

Stand Strong

March 6, 2018 by Keith Swift 1 Comment

Sinning is basically: “failing God”. But when we confess… He forgives. We can “gear up” if we “Put on the full armor of God” (Ephesians 6:10-17). Then we can “back-up our talk with our walk.” (See “What We Are To Be”)

Finding Perfect Peace

December 23, 2017 by Keith Swift 1 Comment

Are you struggling with something and finding no peace?  Go to the Lord in prayer.  There’s a whole lot’a stuff that can keep us struggling!  Life throws curve balls.  And we’re not all that perfect.  We all have issues.  Things can get out of balance real quickly.

Who Do You Believe?

July 1, 2017 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

The World – or – God Your Way – or – God’s Way (A) Belief in God’s creation – versus – (B) Belief in Common worldviews 1. Creation The World: God did not create me.   God does not have a plan for my life.  So I can create myself my own way.  God:  God did create […]

Conversations With God

November 18, 2016 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

All that self-talk we all engage our minds in throughout the day?  “Talk it” to God. You can direct all your self-talk to God as prayer. 

What We Are To Be

May 19, 2016 by Keith Swift

All in one passage, Romans 12, Paul presents a thorough explanation of what God is expecting of those who want to be a true Christian. The message of James is the same: we’ve got to back-up our talk with our walk.

The Good Fight

March 23, 2016 by admin

As His followers, day in and day out we are fighting the good fight against the old nature. We can then rest assured we are not “practicing sin” for we are in the fight. We are secure in Him.

Actually Try To Do The Deed

March 23, 2016 by admin

President Theodore Roosevelt wrote this encouraging speech.  Apt for today – in all our arenas of life, eh? “It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better.   The credit belongs to the man who is actually […]

Catch-up With Life!

September 19, 2015 by Keith Swift

Every once in awhile I take a step back.  I stop.  Take a fresh look at things.  Re-think things.  Where am I at now?  What am I doing now?  Where have I bean?  What’s new?  What is not working well for me?  Am I “missing the boat” somewhere?  What changes might be good to make…. […]

Looking at Others

June 5, 2015 by Keith Swift

What do you think of others? Do you size-them-up: know their sins and think less of them, or think they are great because you like how they look or like how much they have? Remember that God does not wait for us to be perfect. He wants us to come to Him just as we are, now. Even so, even as Christ, no matter the sin – we love the sinner. There is no excuse for us to put-down another. There is no sin too great – nothing that God cannot forgive.

Let God Damn – Not You

July 28, 2014 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

The first place to start teaching about any sin is with kindness, love, and a non-condemning attitude… sort of as close to Jesus’ way as possible, like when he confronted the adulterer and the crowd condemning her. The first thing Jesus did was get the harshness off the sinner – by getting rid of the […]

Pasadena Declaration

June 11, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

The Fraternidad Teológica Latinoamericana declared in 2008 at Fuller Seminar the following statement that stands for ministering “to the foreigners in our midst. The Bible exhorts us to love and not to mistreat the foreigner.”

What’s Your Excuse? …famous failures

February 6, 2009 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

What’s Your Excuse? by Grant Cardone, Author of “Sell to Survive”.   800-368-5771  gc@grantcardone.com   His teachers said he was “too stupid to learn anything” and was fired from his first two jobs for being “non-productive.” (Thomas Edison’s 1000 inventions came during the Panic of 1873 and the Long Depression, which lasted 29 years).   He […]

Punishment and Reward

November 25, 2008 by Dennis Swick Leave a Comment

There are punishment and rewards because God is just (Deuteronomy 32:4), and what we sow we do reap (Galatians 6:7-8). But that does not mean that there does not exist another side to suffering. Jesus suffered death so that we could have eternal life (John 6:47, 50; Titus 1:2; 1 John 5:11).

Letter to Danny

October 14, 2008 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One.  And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and  we have to choose Truth over lies.

Bentley – News on Todd Bentley

The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.

False Prophets

“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?

No Faith In Heaven

Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.

Christian Answers Regarding Islam

Muhammad, or Jesus the Messiah? Which is the One sent by Father God? We’ve got to get this right, or else miss the true Savior of sinners. Read more here….

Biblical Homosexuality

What is a Christian’s biblical perspective on homosexuality? Have you examined the Bible closely? ANY sin is not acceptable in God’s Holy Kingdom.  Ready to go there?

Children’s Bible in a Nutshell

A quick overview of the Bible (tongue-in-cheek). A child was told to write a book report on the entire Bible. 

About Biblical Inerrancy

Would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Dumb idea! God brought everything together to form the Bible. Evidence is overpowering as you read what the Bible is, and what it tells us. “It is the history of the Bible that makes it unique among ‘sacred texts.’ See who wrote the Bible, how its reportive style is backed by archeology and historians…” – Quote from “Why You Can Believe the Bible” (www.everystudent.com).

Da Vinci Code Rebuttal

By LAURIE GOODSTEIN Fearing that the best-selling novel “The Da Vinci Code” may be sowing doubt about basic Christian beliefs, a host of Christian churches, clergy members and Bible scholars are rushing to rebut it.

Now I belong to Jesus
How 'bout you? What kind of commitment did YOU make to Jesus?
Well said...quotes
"Is the Word of Jesus enough for you, today?"...and other quotes. PIC: Gertler Cardboard Sculptures
Oh what a day that will be!
Wow! To enter into the Kingdom of God - freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no burden of sinfulness before Almighty Holy God. I can only imagine.

Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven
"The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” In 1 Corinthians 15:47 the Apostle Paul explained that Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man.  He was not a mere man, ever.

There Is Only One God
Getting tired of people flippantly saying, ¨Oh my god!¨ Ever wonder who their ¨god¨ is!? Does that ¨god¨ know he is ¨theirs¨? Do you say that? We are quite the god-makers, are we not! What do you mean…“your God”?

God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away…. “And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” –Psalm 121:8

When it comes to God, who wants mere opinions?
When talking “God” and “Truth” – I really do not care what you think. You should not care what I think. What matters is “what God thinks”.
Lost I Came To Him
Oh the wonder of that love of our fathomless Creator, to save me in spite of my self-centered soul. Lost and rebellious, He chose me. Pursued and wooed, what mystery – grace. I said yes to Creator God. To know…
Time as it really is
Since Heaven is not regulated by time, the passage of time on earth is a separate event. *We will all step out of time together – into God’s presence, with no “time lag”,…The time it takes to go from earth to God's presence - is instant. There is no waiting around in the next dimension for earth time to finish, no midway point of gathering, no Purgatory. It will be an instantaneous experience for all mankind that ever lived. At the moment of death, our soul instantly leaves....

No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy.... There is no room at all – for error – when it comes to being right with God. You are either all in, or you are all out. Are you sure you’re in?
Simple View of Life
A simple view of everything. God of Everything that is – created everything. We are very fortunate that He is loving and kind, and really, really wants us.
Ashamed of Yourself?
Ever done something you are ashamed of?  Come on now, you’re sitting there by yourself – ‘fess-up.  Nobody listenin’ to your brain confess.  So... Yes?  Scenario: “You have? What!?
  Being Christian What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. For many, what the Bible teaches is generally okay, but, when it comes to certain specificities, what it says, they reason, needs to be interpreted in the light of today's enlightened realities. But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the fool’s day. Tomorrow may never come. I may not get older. This may be it. 3.18.2017
Vortex of Good & Evil As mere humans, we are engulfed in the vortex of battle between good and evil. We must remember – it is God who created us, not we ourselves.
What God has going on with us here on this planet
God downloaded to earth ...inserted Himself into our history.  Jesus came to earth in order to satisfy the Courts of Heaven for our freedom.

Cognitive Dissonance
...that extreme feeling of discomfort some folks get when their core belief is challenged or contradicted. What they think (“cognitive”) is rattled (dissonance) by what other evidences purport to be true – in direct conflict with what they hold to be “true”.
Actually Try To Do The Deed “It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better."

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 Bible is “able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation”
Do you honestly want to know how to get right with God?  Jesus promised He would save us for an eternity of only good, nothing bad.
