Psalm 23

The Shepherd/sheep relationship is meant to be calming and re-assuring in Psalm 23 — read it often, and then just meditate on each expression. This is an excellent Psalm and, with contemplation, becomes a quiet time between you and the Lord.

The Sharp Edges of Faith — A Must-Read

THE QUESTION OF UNANSWERED PRAYER AND THE ADDICTED WHO FEEL DEJECTED ARE THE OBJECT OF THIS STUDY. THE DEFINITION OF FAITH: CONFIDENCE IN THE INTEGRITY OF GOD!

I’m not certain that prayer is as complex as…

Grace-fields

In our Bible Study class, “Grace Awakening, Defining Truth,” we learned that God had appointed (ordained) all the occurrences of history (time) before He Created anything. In theology (the study of God) His Ordained history is called the Doctrine of “Divine Decrees.” We also learned that God has a plan for each of us, specifically designed for our personal walk…

“Blessings in fields of Grace” is not a cliché, it is an everyday walk in fellowship with the Lord. ‘Fields of Grace’ are real. These fields refer to your walk with the Lord. They are literally your daily experiences … wherever your steps take you, so why not plan each day in discussion with the Lord? Meditate each morning. Get used…

Meditate: God Is Available At The Cross

Meditate on these things: Every verse of Scripture has it’s place in the believer’s soul-life … the resting place. Submission to the moral authority of God is to live by God’s Words. There is a Divine prelude to the harmonic symphony of the Scriptures — an absolute majesty. Whenever you read Scripture, listen carefully for the music of Heaven. The…

Why Pray?

PRAYER IS THE EXERCISE OF FAITH WHY PRAY? “I feel better when I pray!” “I feel better after I pray!” “Somehow I am reassured when I pray.” “Somehow, I know God hears me and He will do what is best!” These statements are perhaps how we all feel when we pray, and maybe the answer to “why pray” is no…

Define Life

Life is mysterious, inquiring, amazing Paradoxical, contradictory,  always changing Throughout history only three perfect definitions have ever been expressed and they were expressed by one person — Jesus Christ: “I Am, that I Am” (Exodus 3:14). “I am the way, the truth, the life” (John 14:6)  “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25).

Arrogance/Arrogance Skill-Sets = Ego

Arrogance distorts Truth. Ego has certain skill-sets manifested from the arrogance patterns of the Sin Nature, such as: self-absorption; self-deception; self-justification (Galatians 6:3; James 3: 14-16). Note: be sure to see our categorical studies on the “Sin-Nature.” It is the epitome of arrogance for finite men to think they are impressing INFINITE GOD. It is also one of Satan’s most…

Tidbits Of Wisdom

Want to worry less? Then pray more. Rather than looking all around you for answers, look up. Rather than looking for someone else to blame, look inward.  Inhale God’s Word every day and watch worry go away.  Rather than living in denial, make a study of you! If a believer stays in fellowship and another stays in perpetual sin, which…

My iniquities are never hidden in the light of Your truth. Because of You Lord, I dwell in the hiding place of Your love; soar in the shadow of Your wings; rest in Your mighty hand.

My Lord, teach me of your lovingkindness; make me to know your ways of compassion. Help me understand your forgiveness and believe it is so. You are the God of my salvation. All my hope is in you as I wait and watch for your return, when your voice like a trumpet shall call me out and up.  I am…

Christ Is Truth

The unbeliever is like the bird perched upon a telephone line, unaware of the Gospel passing through his feet. When the thunder of my course is silent, I will have passed into peace. During the believer’s confrontations, God pours out His abundant grace so that we may overcome. Woe to the voices who preach “health and wealth” salvation in Christianity. …

I Am Conscious

I am conscious! I think! I am aware I exist. I choose. Therefore, I am! Because I exist and I had nothing to do with the origination of my existence, there must be a necessity of cause. It is impossible for nothing to become something. Nothing will always be nothing unless something causes nothing to be something. That something would…

Learning Is Discovery

Learning is discovery; Discovery is learning! I have discovered that while the world sleeps, wisdom takes a stroll just before the dayspring. Often, I awake early and listen for her voice and the sound of her footsteps. When she passes, I am swept away to the next adventure. Wisdom and I, dancing together, hand in hand, through the fields of…

Convictions

The Tree of Christ’s death became the Tree of Our Life. Adam is the only human being who became a sinner by sinning. As his descendants, all men, became sinners by birth. All men inherit Adam’s sin-loving nature. All men can inherit Christ’s Righteous-Loving Nature. The Grace of God is free to all who will believe because Christ paid for…

Contentment

Contentment dwells under silken wings. The earth is quiet, resting in winter sleep. Special thoughts of you are a light of golden flame that warms my heart. If I had wings I would fly to high places. In the dawning and the dusk I see loveliness wrapped in beauty. In the light of thought I see beautiful colors flying on…

Hoofbeats

When we are young and gathering strength, the hoofbeats of time seem so far in the distant future. As we age, the hoofbeats of the future are rivaled by the increasing hoofbeats from the past until they become one. It is then that we understand that life is a race to the finish line. Time is the inevitable winner and…

Nature

The mountains kiss the sky and the clouds embrace the mountains; the wind whistles and the hills echo it down to the valleys; streams of clear water chuckle in rhythm; bees humming their tune – the flowers receive them in bloom; the birds sing their love songs; the trees of the forest clap their hands – all nature is harmony;…

When we…

Quote Me

Time is a wise counselor if we stop, look and listen. There is rest, peace, happiness, freedom and beauty, in Truth. The seeds of injustice should never have been planted. The Lord preserves His Word of Truth, deceit is self-destructive. Lust will burn endlessly in the lake of fire. What the unbeliever sows in this life will be reaped forever….
