Serving God and others.
I read in our local Penny Saver recently, the hospital in the area I live in was looking for Chaplin volunteers. I thought this would be a good opportunity to serve, and went over and signed up. I attended three of four, 2 hr mandatory meetings, and finally told the Chaplin I could not continue …
Should we criticize our leaders ?
Is it OK to criticize the President, or congressmen,or the governor? Isn’t it our responsibility as citizens, and as Christians, to tell our elected officials when their doing a bad job, and really give it to them? After all we elected them to serve us, and to represent us in government. What does God’s word …
Jesus I know, and Paul I know,but who are You?
It is vitally important to know who we are in Christ. If a person were locked in a jail cell for years, and someone came and unlocked the cell door for them, and they did not believe that the door was unlocked, the freedom that they had obtained would be of no effect. It …
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 …
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 …
