Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk With The Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… The nature of society is reflected by each individual. There are no dead people, there are only dead bodies. Body and soul are intrinsic so that we do not feel locked in. We are in Christ so we do not feel locked out. Life changes and we must…
Thought to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… We are living creatures designed to contain and express ourselves. We cannot be empty or void. Though created perfect, Adam and Eve defaulted and the human race was immediately thrust into angelic warfare. Most people are not sorry for the wrong they’ve done, they are sorry they got…
Thought to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… Define life, define time, define the universe, define beauty, define light, define darkness and death, define God, define “define.” Change one divine law and we cannot exist, and never did… or did we? Through the pre-New Testament era, the Lord revealed Himself by visions and dreams, and…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… Define humanity: Arrogantly self-centered egotist. Courage demands thinking under pressure or in panic situations, and thinking demands calm. The more we live in fear, the more we live with intimidation. The reality of Bible doctrine confronts life. It is interesting that as children, we strive to please our…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… Why does the creek search for the river and the river for the sea? Both are determined in two ways: 1) Direction and 2) the easy way. The easy way is for rivers and creeks, the hard way is for humanity. If we take a stroll, we only…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… The perceptive ability of the mind is not as critical as the content of the mind. If God’s Word of Truth does not fill the God-shaped void in the soul, falsehood will fill the soul instead. Remember, God’s perfect integrity is not impressed with anyone’s self-righteousness, nor with…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… One must know the difference between what God said… and what the clergy say He said. If I had a DE-vice (or anti-vice) it would be true, beautiful, and good, but I, like everyone else, have a vice that is deceitful, ugly, and evil. If I have a…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… Meditation is private soliloquy… thought in private solitude. Meditation can divorce us from the external world while we search or contemplate the abstract or certain concepts. For example: God is perceivable and conceivable based on certain evidence that defy any other explanation. Therefore, faith makes God appear to…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… Iron is resistant, man is stubborn. A Gospel that is not the same for everybody is not salvation for anybody, it is ruination. It is the laws of divine establishment, which impose moral restraint, which governs social order. We have our being in God—there is no being/existence worth…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… Fear weeps—Faith smiles. Because we know the Creator, we can pursue life optimistically in the devil’s world. Final reality is not by chance, it is by design. Tyranny established for the good of all makes all into victims. The collision course of good and evil shall remain inevitable…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… Christ propitiated the Father for you and for me (satisfied His justice). The grace of God depends on the works of Christ on the cross. This salvation does not depend on the merit a person achieves by doing something worthwhile. Salvation is a gift from God because Jesus…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… I read a true story once about a forest fire in Yellowstone Park. Forest Rangers, after the fire, were ascending a mountain to assess damage to the forest. One of the Rangers noticed what looked like a bird petrified in ashes, perched on the ground at the base…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… TRUTH: Truth is incomparable. Each of us must learn to live the truth – let us begin by speaking it and learning it. The deviation from truth is a journey of regret. Truth is priceless and self-sustained—truth is self-evident. We exist in untruth—truth is a constant reminder; pay…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… The uniqueness and depravity of human self-hood—the nature of humanity. The amazing thing about destiny is when two separate and unique lives, by chance (or is it?), come together. One fulfills, one completes—creating one life, stronger and more beautiful than if they had remained unknown and alone. Humans…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… It is imperative to stay near the Lord, stay in the Word, and remain occupied with Christ, without discipline or with discipline. When you learn to stay near the Lord without discipline, then God will bless you without discipline. Either way, God blesses you – always with love…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, PROCESS, LINGER… Life has reason, which reason does not know. The mills of faith grind slowly but surely; they grind exceedingly fine when mixed with Biblical Truths. To mature is to learn discipline, respect, control, and tolerance for the lack of same in others. The journey begins with the breath…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Intellect wants to receive glory, to be the God it denies. So intellect is a spiritual battle between unregenerate humanity and God, leaving God out of the equation. Whisper, wonder, and wind—perhaps akin. Wisdom is both knowledge and discernment—the exercise of judgment—as opposed to folly, yet there is…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Jesus Christ became incarnate to save us… so that truth can become incarnate through us to a lost and dying world. We are the living truths of God. The best apologists of Christ are those who demonstrate His life outwardly to the world. Regardless of what happens to…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Old age finds and delivers weak hands and feeble knees. The Lord God numbered all the generations of man, from the very beginning to the very end. “I, the Lord, the First and the Last, I AM that I AM.” The Lord blots out our transgressions, or the…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Knowing how trivial we are, how depraved, should keep us humble in the pursuits of life. Just as the bud of a flower injured by the frost will not open, so too a child or person injured without encouragement or warm praises of affirmation may not open themselves…
