Looking Back

At the crack of dawn the angels urged Lot on: “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.” But he hesitated, so because of the Lord’s compassion for him, the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters. […]

Faith and Belief

Believing something can be as simple and powerless as deciding which toothpaste cleans teeth better. Even if I believe in a brand’s ability, if it is too expensive, I may not use it. I believe it is best, but I would not be putting any faith with my belief if I did not use it. Believing God can heal is […]

Opened to Understand

Then He told them, “These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

At least it was less difficult for him to do the engineering work of that project. Convincing Edison to change his empire was very difficult. We […]

Mitey Wealthy

Some of the wealthiest people have become wealthy by being beggars. Their work is taking “widows’ mites” and promising that their supporters will get money for giving money. Frequently the same people who purchase lottery tickets send money to these hawkers, hoping to win big with God. To untwist some of their quotes of Jesus and Paul, I suggest that […]

In The Anointing

In response to a share via another medium of my recent blog “In Christ,” someone responded, “Saying being ‘in the Anointing’ means the same thing, but adds a beautiful dimension.” Being “in the Anointed” and being “in the Anointing” are really very different. One is being in the King, and the other is being influenced by Him. I had wondered […]

More Horsepower

Motors are described in several ways. One is by the type of fuel they use to create energy. Electricity, hydrogen, diesel, jet fuel, gasoline are examples. Another category is the method of conversion of the fuel, such as turbine, rotary, internal combustion. The amount of power that is created by motors is usually measured in horsepower. This term was created […]
