The silliest of people who have learned how to listen to the Spirit of God and obey Him will do greater exploits and win more and greater prizes than the greatest of the wise who are only wise in light of the wisdom of the world. The wisdom of the world may be able to split an atom, but the Spirit of God can reveal how an atom was made […]

Finding Truth
It will greatly benefit us to grasp that, while most teachers are trying to point us to truth, Jesus, as a Teacher, said, “I am the Truth.” Seeking Him diligently will be rewarded with access to much truth. Imagine something that you can do today that will be an example of seeking Jesus. Do that until you find Him.
New, You
Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:1-2 Holman Christian Standard Bible ©®) Discerning information is the […]
Overcomer You
“Ah!” His disciples said. “Now You’re speaking plainly and not using any figurative language. Now we know that You know everything and don’t need anyone to question You. By this we believe that You came from God.” Jesus responded to them, “Do you now believe? Look: An hour is coming, and has come, when each of you will be scattered to his own home, and you will leave Me alone. […]
Rich in Every Way
Remember this: the person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously. Each person should do as he has decided in his heart—not out of regret or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make every grace overflow to you, so that in every way, always having everything you need, you may excel in […]
Sweeter Roses
Some roses smell nice, but some others have little aroma. The ones that smell weak can’t work harder at being sweet smelling and therefore achieve it. Better fertilizer, more water, more sun; these things may help, but holding its breath and squinting its eyes will not force more rose smell into the air around it. What will help me be more awesome? Can I just promise to try harder? What […]
See You Later
Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Examine yourselves. Or do you not recognize for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless you fail the test. (2 Corinthians 13:5 Holman Christian Standard Bible ©®) Once you have been born of Yahweh, Christ is in you. If you are still living at a level of Christ being with you, like He was with His disciples and His friends […]
Prove It!
Faith becomes effective when we act on it. James wrote in his letter that he showed his faith by his deeds. Some of the ideas that we believe have not yet passed the test of being “stood on.” We have not yet encountered an opportunity to prove them by being in a position that demands it. I prove my trust of my truck by driving it. I prove my trust […]
To Know Him
It is a very grand day when we change from looking at the world in order to try to understand God to looking at God in order to try to understand His creation. It is a day of wonders when we stop trying to figure out who Jesus is by looking at the church. When we shift from looking at the creation in order to try to understand the Creator, […]
Might be Useful
Many movies that become popular start with the person who later becomes the hero being unpopular, wimpy, nerdy, but passionate. Passion at its root meaning speaks of pain. Their passion is both in their ideals, which they are not able to attain because they are not powerful enough, and in their rejection as outcasts by the popular and handsome and pretty people. Something then happens in the story, either supernaturally […]
