With God all things are possible.
The easiest thing to do at times, is to work at our salvation, or at our relationship with God. And the hardest thing to do is rest, and trust that Jesus has done all the work for us. I continue to struggle with this. I find myself slipping back into a relationship with God, that …
The power of the spoken word.
Words are an immensely important weapon a Christian has, at his or her disposal, to create the Kingdom of God around us. God spoke the entire universe into existence. Psalm 33:9″ For he spake and it was done, he commanded and it stood fast.” God wants us, as His children, to also speak things into …
Working out our salvation.
We have been experiencing record hot temperatures recently. This has made for very uncomfortable days, but very pleasant nights, here in the finger lakes. I was walking around our back yard the other night, gazing up at the stars and talking with God our Father and Jesus, also contemplating a bit about my life. I …
God is not angry.
A survey I read recently, indicated that most Americans see God as angry. Ready to deliver swift punishment, to people, or nations, if they sin and disobey him. Or they see God as distant and uninvolved. http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2010-10-07-1Agod07_CV_N.htm God communicates to us through his word, The Holy Bible. Not through surveys and opinion polls. How does …
Men of God
It’s inspiring to read the Old Testament word of God. It contains so many great stories of God intervening for his people, and those individuals he was working with, and through. Noah was instructed to build an arc, and saved mankind from extinction. Abraham and Sarah were promised a child well after their childbearing years, and Abraham was told he …
Trust in God.
How much can a person know? Sometimes it is overwhelming the amount of information there is available today in the world. A person can study their entire life to be an expert in just one field. The bible tells us, Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine …
God, gold and guns.
I was recently listening to a radio talk show, and the topic of the show was the bad economy, and how many experts are predicting it to get much worse. As Christians we know, that in the end times there is going to be chaos, as the world’s political and economic systems begin to break …
God’s ways are not man’s ways.
I studied the Bible in the past and thought, much of what I was reading could never be applied in daily life, it was not meant to be taken literally. But I have changed my mind on this subject. As children, we take literally what our parents tell us. As we grow older we learn to become …
God and healing.
Does God still heal? Or did healing pass with the early church and the time of the Apostles? Is modern medicine and technology God’s gift to mankind, to heal the sick and afflicted? The prophet Isaiah, looking centuries into the future wrote this of Jesus. “As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so …
How to become righteous.
The bible speaks a lot about being righteous. But can we be righteous before God? We see a world full of sin and decadence. People are cruel to one another, and the news and TV is often quite depressing. It is easy to look at sin, that we perceive as worse then our own, and …
