Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Before the cross became the symbol of Christianity, it was used to mark graves. It is interesting that the cross of torture, suffering, and shame became a symbol of hope and faith and honor. The cross of death is the symbol of eternal life. The vertical beam points…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, LINGER, PROCESS… What we see around us is the evidence of God’s existence. Try to think of something that doesn’t exist. What did you come up with? Honestly, you can come up with nothing. So, this is how we know that God must exist, because we can conceive of Him….
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. No need to. Look out for number one, Make your own rules, Win at all costs, Nice guys finish last, The power is within you, blah, blah, blah, ad nauseam… These clichés certainly expressed the self-existence mentality of existentialism. Life is not…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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….
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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 –…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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…
Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord 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….
