Return to the God of Our Fathers

Constant exposure to infusions of untruth will exhaust the spiritual resistance and strength of the American people, so that untruth becomes truth (1 Corinthians 10:12). This is done on a massive scale by the education system and in all forms of media. It’s a constant bombardment, driven deep into the mind through propaganda, fear-mongering, and inculcation. Human viewpoint and secular…

Find Your Way Back… Come Home

Thirteen points on back-to-basics: Do you want to feel better about who and what God is? Then realize who and what you are. So, who are you? You, like everyone else, are a sinner saved by grace.

Divine Decrees and Prayer

God created humanity with free will. We can and do make our own choices, proving volition. Therefore, we have the choice to respect and honor God, or to go our own way. Furthermore, God’s plan for creation and humanity was ordained, and history is being lived as God ordained. At the consummation of human history, the ordaining wisdom, the perfect…

Humanity, Deity, Blasphemy

Humanity is anointed. Deity is Eternal God. Blasphemy is rejecting Christ. God came to rescue humanity from sin-darkness, which is separation from God. Jesus, in His humanity, is the long awaited Messiah – the Davidic Messiah of Israel. Jesus is the anointed one, sent from God, baptized for power by the Holy Spirit of God the Father, thereby uniquely empowered…

Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord (Part Forty-Four)

READ, LINGER, PROCESS…   Perhaps inferiority keeps us humble. So, I (we) wrestle with superiority and inferiority; humility and arrogance; coveting and regret. What is this thinking of the psyche, this battle of natures within us? The conflicts of thought are provoking and educational, and each decision has a price. When consciousness becomes constant evil, it needs constant sleep –…

Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord (Part Forty-Two)

READ, LINGER, PROCESS…   Alcohol does not kill brain cells, it causes new cells to grow slower, which interferes with the working functions and processes of the brain. Drink knowledge instead, then meditate with the Holy Spirit to develop wisdom. In Matthew 20:23, we see that the future is already prepared by God the Father. Christ, sent by the Father,…

Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord (Part Forty-One)

READ, LINGER, PROCESS…   Walk in truth through fields of grace. Abide there. Walk in love. Standing… walking in truth-fields… remaining faithful. Standing or walking is just one step from stumbling. Walk and practice truth. Protect truth from counterfeiters and untruths. Works for salvation is a perversion of God’s grace. The believer is preserved in Christ (Jude 24). It is…

Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord (Part Thirty-Nine)

READ, LINGER, PROCESS…   When we pass away, all things become new. In Colossians 3:5-17, the old becomes the new. We put off the old and put on the new, via transformation, transition, and translation into God’s presence. Revival is the translation from the old to the new. The restoration of mankind to a permanent spiritual relationship with God is…

Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord (Part Thirty-Eight)

READ, LINGER, PROCESS…   The result of apostasy is divine discipline, whether it be toward the individual or… the nation. Pray for your nation, daily, fervently.

Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord (Part Thirty-Six)

READ, LINGER, PROCESS…   Death terminates the necessities and accessories of life. In death’s grip, life disintegrates, but in Christ’s hand, death has no power, no sting, we’re a passing thing or we are naught. Looking up from beneath the trees, one is enthralled in the shimmers of happy glimmers – my little family and thoughts of aspen and birch…

Sight, Insight, and Belief

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). When we see the moon, the sun, the stars, and all of creation, it is with physical sight. When we reflect on Hebrews 11:1 as we look upon all creation, it is spiritual insight – the meeting of sight and insight, thus proving…

Until We Meet Again

We were created whole – a seamless piece of love. Faith is the most commonly used perception of every human being – yet saving-faith is rare. The weeping willow hangs like a widow’s veil, the wind sighing through the spruce trees could be hopeless passion, or misfortune. Who could foretell this frenzied flowing song? Then came the whistling singer. From…

Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord (Part Thirty-Five)

READ, LINGER, PROCESS…   When there is no concept of personal responsibility, there is no reason to seek the Lord, no reason for transformation. As a nation, our blindness to the truth will cause our destruction. We must understand that our human nature is the problem. We all must contend. We must receive Christ to redeem ourselves and our nature…

Our Citizenship In Heaven

Our citizenship in God’s glorious kingdom is not determined by external acts of dos and don’ts; it is not what we eat or drink. We are a spiritual kingdom of believer-priests living in satan’s kingdom. Our righteousness is an ever-present possession because Christ indwells us. It is His righteousness imputed to us because of the cross where the Father was…
