Thoughts to Ponder in Your Walk with the Lord
READ, LINGER, PROCESS…
Consciousness is eternal.
Negative volition and ego are the only hindrances to spiritual maturity.
There can be no such utopia of man, such as “the brotherhood of man,” or “the dignity of man,” or “the equality of man.” There is only “the depravity of man.”
Most Christians are self-serving rather than in service to our Lord. They are busy impressing other Christians and the pastor.
A nation can drown itself by the weight of its own degeneracy.
Approbation creates a premise of superficiality, of conformity, and self-deceit.
Wonder is a building block of learning.
He who knows even one religion knows one too many.
Religion keeps the masses in line so the classes can maneuver out of bounds. Christianity is not a religion and most of humanity is none the wiser.
Satan is the founder of religion;
Christ is the founder of Christianity.
Satan is the fallen one;
Christ is the Risen One.
Satan is the prince of darkness;
Christ is the essence of light.
Satan is the lord of the underworld;
Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords.
Dignity, direction, and destiny define life in Christ. Discovery is around every corner, over each mountain, through every valley and on the other side. I see new hope, new footsteps, new opportunities to serve my Lord.
The Holy Spirit leads us into truth. The Holy Spirit defines and reveals truths for life, so that truth is just a step away, and eternity beyond the next step.
There is a way that seems right to a person, but the end thereof leads to death, calamity, destruction, and shame.
Receive only to give.
The angels from glory find only joy in giving God’s light and enlightenment to the world of men. They minister without word or sound upon the souls of men, and upon the human spirit of believers.
The great principal law of life on earth is love-giving. Christ revealed the Father. The Father gave the Son. The eternal life of the Father flows through the Son to a lost and dying world. Only by God’s love can man be awakened. Only by God’s love can man’s love be awakened. To love God we must know Him. To know Him is to love Him.
Upon the world is darkness. The Son rose with the offer of forgiveness and reconciliation. Believe and receive.
Life is but a moment dissolving.
Life is a gift bursting forth from the light.
Life is what it is—it is what we make it, and what it makes us.
How long will history remain asleep in the past? How much longer will the future unfold? We are always in the present—time, destiny, and I.
Early, in the chill of morning, I think of times still at rest somewhere in the far-away.
Night, like a barefoot prowler, moves through the forest leaving shadows in the moonlight. Like murky phantoms, the shadows haunt the air, then wave farewell in the morning breeze. Now time and I are here alone, fated to be or not to be.
What means life?
