READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Our Lord Jesus Christ anthropomorphized God so we could form an understanding. This is called the incarnation. Even if each person set their own standards of morality, they still could not keep those standards. We cannot even be true to self. How then can we be so blind to not see our own wretchedness? We live…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… The fog-mist settles at evening over the Shenandoah River, then at morning it rises to a point of the vanishing – and so are the days of our lives. We appear for a little time and then… vanish away (James 4:14). One must understand that eternity is written upon the hearts of us all, therefore eternal…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… How many are on a quest for a past that will never return? The past is gone forevermore. We pursue a past that we shall never catch while running from self in the present – these are the good ol’ days. We run to and from the past, rather than change our ways. Supernatural truth, supernatural…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Trillions of people have lived throughout history, and time and destiny have spun these lives together like strands in a fabric that somehow is each one of us, and we each become one blanket that covers oblivion, and we cannot see where we’ve gone, and we look for answers in all the wrong places. So, I…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Genesis is the embryonic foundation of God’s historical truths – the connecting rod of all books of the Bible. God is absolute necessity – we are beneficiaries. There is gain, there is forfeit, there is volition. When the world seems contrary, look inward. I wonder what it is like to have all the answers with no…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Ego has a way of sawing off the branch it perches on. If we are not willing to keep the faith by living a life in Christ and for Christ, then we certainly would not be willing to die for Christ or even suffer for Christ – our faith is measured by our obedience. Intimacy in…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… The original writers of Scripture used exact words to reveal God’s truths. Their Holy Spirit-inspired words contain the richest intent of truth, and our utmost skill is required to preserve God’s truths. The original Holy Writ, the God-breathed words, contain God’s original intent. Satan has focused his energies to proliferate an excess of liberating translations evident…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… As human beings, we alone, in all of creation, have the inherent ability to live uniquely in diverse realms – the spiritual world and the material world. I believe that our human soul is the platform, even the launching pad, of humanity’s created trichotomy, where body and spirit become one with the soul at the point…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… My emotional need for poetry, epic and tragedy, fill me with hypnotic charm and dazzling life that may somehow have existed in a world closer to whom we really are… there we believe. Tales of enchantment offer escape without drugs. Perhaps if and when people learn to take the time to appreciate folklore in every culture,…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… There is no such thing as a complete failure because failure is never complete. We are all complete sinners, completely helpless and completely hopeless. In Christ we are completely justified, completely forgiven, completely righteous and I am eternally grateful. It is interesting that fire somehow consumes itself and must find new victims or die. If sin…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… It is early morning; the moon still rules the sky. I woke not in Heaven, so I must write… The waters of oceans and lakes have many faces, ones that wink at the observant eye. On moonlit nights, black phantoms seem to dance with white and silver diamonds. The sun, not to be outdone, stirs the…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… God, who created life in us, can certainly be trusted with the details of our lives. We just don’t realize the omnipotence of God – God is so far beyond us. Christ made God personable and knowable while still remaining incomprehensible. God is love, justice, and mercy – God is grace-oriented because Christ was cross-oriented. Thank…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… The quiet words of a wise man are heard louder than the shouts of selfish and greedy men. A poor wise man speaks softly – rich men shout. The conclusion of the whole matter of life is: Fear God, obey God, trust His Son-salvation. Better is the one who has never been born than the one…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… What part of integrity can we ignore and still remain truthful? What part will we ignore for gain? Fortune? Fame? God is integrity! We have volition. It isn’t easy living in the flesh. It isn’t easy to accept the reality of who I am. Paul, the Apostle was so right – he too wrestled with his…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… I find fascinating the words which contain essence, as in the essence of God, or man, or a thing. There is also the quintessence – the fifth essence. But the quintessence I find most fascinating – the hundredth essence. Satan is a sinister codologist of the super-kind – “chief of hoaxers.” Webmaster’s Note: (Codologist: Noun. Irish…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… For the rest of my life, I am. Then what? Then… I AM. When satan goes down, Heaven comes down (the second advent). There is nothing about sin, suffering, and death that I like, but I must experience each. Until this body of flesh is left behind and my spirit soars… free at last. Do not…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… I will always cherish the mountains of Colorado, my home. I praise God in the heights, for it is there I see His Glory and I am closer to Heaven in the high places. I want to discover, then tell others about the wonderful land of discovery. Christ my Savior lifted me to all the high…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… The power of the Holy Spirit, by and through the cross, breaks the chains of sin and death. Every noble ideal is empty apart from Christ. When the still small voice of God becomes a thundering judgment, then intellectuals will realize their own stupidity and arrogance, but it will be too late. The edge of knowledge…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… If the universe “came from nothing,” then why couldn’t it have come from God? Which theory requires more faith? Which is more probable? (P.S. Stephen Hawking (evolution’s own ‘god’) once said, “The universe willed itself into existence.” Do with that one what you will, dear reader.) Even if we ask, “Who made God?” or “Where did…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… We are not a God-shaped species as some would have us believe. We are a soul-image species (as in God created man in His own image). I believe our soul-image becomes a higher image when we are born again. It is at this new birth, spiritual, that God reinstates our spiritual heritage and honor as heirs…
