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, and the life” (John 14:6). “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25).
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). Be sure to see our categorical studies on the Sin-Nature. It is the epitome of arrogance for finite mankind to think they are impressing infinite God. It is also one of satan’s most successful campaigns…
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…
Our steadfastness must be based on unmovable facts so that our faith is unshakable: The resurrection is recorded history; the earth turns, completing its circle of warming; the stars still wink from heaven; daily the Word of God completes its assignment and returns to the Lord undaunted. I watch as darkness loses its battle with light, and morning as it…
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. From eternity You came – to everlasting You returned – You are everything always and forever – I am dust. You have given Your…
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…
The often heard term “Mother Nature” is a revival from paganism. It is a derivative of “Mother Earth.” Mother Earth was worshiped by the goddess cults of the ancient Middle East. Nature is not a deity, nor is the earth itself. However, calling Creation “Nature” or “Mother Earth” is deification which deliberately discredits and denies God as Creator. Creation on…
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 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; 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…
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 of humanity, became sinners by birth. All of us inherited Adam’s sin-loving nature. All of us can inherit Christ’s righteous-loving nature, if we choose… wisely. The Grace of God is free to all…
Contentment dwells under silken wings. The earth is quiet, resting in winter sleep. Special thoughts of you are a light of golden flame, one 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…
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…
The angels of wonder obey God’s silent voice, and those with wings speak His thoughts to all the earth, whispering love and salvation through Jesus Christ.
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;…
You are my love from deep inside. My love always, ‘cause love never dies!
Circuits strike weighted clouds releasing rain and competent power; the sun and moon keep their tabernacle; the planets and stars, void but beautiful, fail not their assignment.
A heart that gives with innocence,how sweet, how dear it’s dwelling place.
Have you ever seen… A butterfly kiss an angel The sun swallowed by the Earth The moon flirt with the night The earth spew from its mouth the sun, like a rising balloon Diamonds in the sky A butterfly perched on a rainbow A white cross over a bottomless pit What happens when… A butterfly kisses an angel When we…
What kind of love is it that causes humanity to choose hell instead of God? Selfish love. What kind of love is it that caused God to send Christ to the cross in spite of humanity’s selfishness? Infinite Love. What kind of love is it that caused God to love us so much that He died for all, and most…
