We develop spiritual discipline by daily study and application of God’s Word. The Bible teaches us God’s viewpoint. God by His Word gives us a piece of His Mind. Scripture is Wisdom and Wisdom is Scripture. We develop the skills for life by practicing wisdom. God’s Wisdom conforms our thinking by giving us spiritual insight. His wisdom instills moral values…
The universe I no longer see, and the sky has opened for my escort and me. Peace has filled my soul – my spirit is the light of it. We have passed through a veil and into this marvelous light. We move, yet not feeling movement. We fly without wings… our motion sustained by the breath of God. I feel…
God reveals Himself in many ways, such as His Son, His Holy Spirit, His Word, creation, and recorded history. But, He also proves Himself by the future through prophecy. God’s mighty works and power are everywhere displayed. God is the only accurate prophet. A God that transcends time and space is incomprehensible. But, God is not beyond our natural senses….
How can I express the inexpressible? Perhaps… silence? If I listen to music, music expresses itself. If I watch and listen to creation all around me, creation expresses itself; if I look closely, I see beautiful expressions inexpressible. I perceive that the inexpressible must, by necessity, express itself. We must learn to look and listen to the inexpressible. God is…
At dawn’s early light, the Lord awakens me. He whispers, I write… “I heard your prayer and I saw your tears,” said the Lord. “Your voice has entered my Throne Room, even into my ears.” The Lord has given me His ears that I might hear the Songs of Eternity, the Chorus of Creation, the Music of Heavenly Hosts, the…
As I drove the final miles toward home, the breeze through the car window was pleasant and warm. “There’s no place like home,” I thought, nothing like opening the front door after time away, like sitting around the kitchen table and a cool drink or a hot meal with family or friends. There is nothing like a loving smile and…
Communion with God is creation in all its forms The dawning of light from darkness fills the morn The warming sun awakens the little flowers Rivers rise, time stills, in rainbow showers The sea like silver bares its bosom to the moon The desert floors are busy until high noon The wild bees buzzing on their daily chases Trees sing…
I concur with Chuck Colson and his panel of experts regarding biotechnology. Here are my thoughts in my own words… To take a life created in God’s image is a sin against God and man. To make a life created in man’s image is a sin against man and God. Taking human life or making human life – where is…
Bible doctrine enters the mind as knowledge. By faith, it is transferred to the believer’s human spirit and becomes wisdom. Wisdom then gives us God’s own divine viewpoint, feeding our spirit and nourishing and refreshing our soul. God’s perspective gives us power and vision to make Godly decisions. Through His Holy Word, God’s perfection enters us in this life. In…
Once upon a time, waters of a great river raged and the mountains shook at its roaring. The mighty river forged its way through the canyons and carried with it the mountains to the sea. Where the mountains once stood, valleys, forests, and beautiful meadows flourished. The sea was displaced by the mountains and its waters now flow peacefully through…
“I just wrote, and these thoughts kept coming…” – C. S. Craig Open your heart, and I will speak to you, for my will is everlasting life, found in your salvation. Be filled with my Word, and my Spirit. Receive my Spirit in salvation through my Word. Be redeemed by my grace through Christ, for you. I shall give…
Evil is a mighty hunter, leading violent men. _______ Set a watchman before my mouth, keep the door of my lips closed. The heart of man is deceitfully wicked, to practice vileness and iniquity. The world is calamities; men’s bones fill the mouth of Sheol, Hell is never full. The souls of men are destitute, they fall into their own…
Lord, I am older now and your wisdom and love have patiently humbled me. I can see more clearly now that the rain is gone and the clouds of my ego are dissipating. I see you more than I see myself. Lead me in justice – I walk on my knees. God, teach me your humble ways. When pride begins…
Want to worry less? Pray more. Rather than look around you for answers, look up. Rather than look 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 Christ and in Truth and another doesn’t, which one has…
Ah, the adventures we can have in imagination – the wonderful tales which can take us to the places full of fun and fancy that await. Pretense? Yes, that’s it – make believe. It can be some truth with more myth, or much truth and some element of myth attached. Oh, but what a wonderful adventure fairy tales can be…
The sufferings of my afflictions, whether temporary or permanent, achieves an eternal weight of glory that does not – cannot – hold me down, but rather lifts me up forever. This physical, earthly dwelling is temporary for my time limit on earth while separated from my Savior. My spiritual dwelling in Heaven has been especially prepared for me as an…
To the thief one size fits all. If one cannot swim the great ocean of knowledge then he should go by boat. Leaders of nations in order to start wars, must take the first bullet, politicians the second, their sons the third, and liberals the fourth. Lying is not careless truth – it is lying. The person who can do everything…
IN SEARCH OF WISDOM Man searcheth, but where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Few knoweth its place nor its price, for it is priceless and its place is not where men look. WISDOM COMETH BY FAITH Wisdom never rests, though she may indeed forever, or for a time, withhold her knowledge in the hidden…
In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God; He heard my voice out of His Temple, and my cry came before him, even into His ears (Psalm 18:6) And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly, yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind (Psalm 18:10). The heavens declare the glory of…
WORDS OF WISDOM WITH QUOTES FROM THE WORD OF GOD He who is devoid of God’s power to forgive is devoid of God’s power to love. If we cannot forgive, how can we expect God to forgive us? If we say we have not sinned, then the truth is not in us and we speak against ourselves. If we expect…
