Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord
READ, LINGER, PROCESS…
Each person must practice daily to align their own morality with divine truth—the Word of God—the Bible.
The Word of God is the Hand of God let down to lift us up.
Christ broke the power of sin, Satan, death, the flesh, and ritual.
I owe humanity my best, and God my very best.
Christ expressed His love with everything. He gave His all—His very life.
When inspiration flows from the Lord, there is just no other world like it.
Patterns of the mind organize and help us explain ideas. Does reason serve our passions?
Approbation lust is an insatiable passion for distinction and the flattery of others.
The blood of Christ is a physical demonstration of a spiritual event—faith in the cross-work of Christ. Do you trust in your work or Christ’s work?
Words that come from the heart entered the heart from good or evil, life experience, and learning experience.
A smile introduces a whole new world of opportunities. Every day the same smile can open new ones.
It is interesting that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was still a virgin even after she gave birth to Christ—the only woman in history to do so. (This statement is not intended to glorify Mary or ascribe deity to her. She was a normal woman with a sin nature, just like everyone else. Christ was the only one born without a sin nature—the reason for the virgin birth, as the sin nature is passed down through the man. The “immaculate conception” points to the absence of contamination through a human father.)
Spiritual energy gives us physical strength.
When our dwelling place is no longer within the flesh, we shall be at home with the Lord. For now, we are on the earth, and Christ is within us. He makes each believer His spiritual residence.
Prayer is a golden key that unlocks the treasures of heaven and earth. God’s Word is the treasure of earth.
Christ is precious—the cornerstone of our faith (1 Peter 2:7).
Christ’s life is our new pattern. The sin nature is the old pattern.
Newborn Christians have no treasury of Biblical doctrines in their soul. But through God’s Word, we have access to unfathomable riches—access to unfathomable knowledge.
In today’s secular world, we are expected to bow down to man’s authority, and in doing so we are considered as meek, modest, and liberated. But if we bow to the authority of Scripture, we are looked upon as narrow minded, even bigots.
All of the seeds of eternity have been watered by the tears of Christ. As believers, we shall spend eternity thanking and praising Him with tears of joy unthinkable.
