READ, LINGER, PROCESS… We must be taught to do good, taught not to do wrong. We lust (i.e. a need for attention and praise, etc.). We need to unlearn the self and learn God. If the truth hurts, suffer for a while. Life is a checkout line… and no one wants to go first. Live in truth; live diligently….
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… I find it interesting that religious leaders, from the Pope on down in the chain of command, will not stand up to the untruths of their religion because these rituals without reality flatter their ego and ambitions. Forms of religious rituals do not save, nor keep saved, nor do they change (or pay the price for)…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… God is a divine mathematician. God’s exhale was the mathematical formulas that created creation. When God removes the curse on creation, the harmony of mathematics will be heard by all of creation as it flows endlessly from the Throne of The Most High. We are atoms (indivisible), descended from Adam with the same nature –indivisible –…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… In the blazing radiance of the Lord’s glory our depravity is exposed, and His glory helps us see our depravity. He will expose the real self. America seems to be asleep, complacent in slumber, enjoying plentiful crops, clothes, possessions and luxuries, while our enemies plot our destruction. Material possessions build false security – a falseness to…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Sobriety reveals one’s sweetness; alcohol releases one’s suppressed emotions. It is interesting that alcohol keeps the alcoholic in denial of addiction – the guilt of drinking keeps the alcoholic away from church and the Lord’s day. Alcohol breaks apart marriages, it keeps families apart, it ruins relationships, it is a guilt trip, it causes paranoia and…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Jewish tradition said that there was in the temple a “chamber of secrets,” into which gifts given in secret were available for the poor, to be received in secret. God blesses the secret giver and the secret receiver. There is no secret from God, who rewards the secret receiver and giver. The cross of Christ is…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… It is only the splendor of God’s glory-light that prevents our seeing Him. Lord, take the veil from our eyes. Take the vileness from our hearts. Open our eyes that we may see you in all your shekinah glory. There is no such thing as “sacred secularism” – mutually exclusive ways of life must be separated….
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Throughout history, the invisible kingdom has called millions of believers to suffer for it. We have much to learn from the Holy Spirit. Notice from the Life of Christ that He loved freedom – He died for freedom. As you study Christ’s life, notice He was compelled to save all mankind. He never tried to heal…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… God knows we cannot stop being human, but He wants us to be more spiritual, so we will be less humanistic. He wants us to be more like Christ, His Son, so we will be less like ourselves. When I was growing up, I liked skipping flat stones across the surface of the water. As an…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Each person must practice daily to align their own morality with divine truth – the Word of God – the Bible. The Word of God is the Hand of God let down to lift us up. Christ broke the power of sin, satan, death, the flesh, and ritual. I owe humanity my best, and God my…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Because Christ is the centrality of human history, it is imperative that Christ be the center of the believer’s life (thinking). Reference Philippians 1:21; 2:5; 4:12. Christ came from eternity into time; from heaven to earth to serve humankind. Be at peace with God – believe in God’s Son. Philippians 4:4-7: 4 Rejoice in the Lord…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… These days, it is culture that is raising children, not the childrens’ parents. Social media directs their path, conditioning their attitudes and belief systems to worldly from Godly. The problems of men and nations result from a corrupt human nature; turn back to God, world. The affirmation that mankind needs is not from the world, which…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… The glorious fragrant aroma of the cross of His suffering, for us, will sustain us until eternity and for eternity. God measures humanity by His Son, Christ Jesus the Lord. The summing up of all things is in Christ, as seen in Ephesians 1:4-11. Our position in Christ is found in Ephesians 2:6. “(He) raised us…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… We inhale pure air, but exhale poison. The breath of soul/spirit life is the same breath that made the heavens (Psalm 33:6) and laid the foundations of the world (Psalm 18:15). How can man trust in man (humanism) with his one breath capacity when man can breathe in God’s breath – the written Word of God?…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… The solution against developing a love for the world is to develop a love for the Word – both the living Word (Yeshua/Jesus) and the written Word (Bible). The key to conquering love of the world is to love the Father, just as Jesus loved the Father. Victory over the flesh is by the Holy Spirit…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… I only have now to express all the wonderful thinking that my Lord gives me for meditation and expression, and so I write the things contained herein and everywhere I have written. Life beautiful, easy as music the words flow, and on we go… the Lord and I. The skill of the mind is revealed by…
