Many times in the Holy Book, a writer described the path to a place of wonder. If you want more grace, find the path in James 4:6-10. If you want to be perfect, find the path in James 1. If you want provision, find the path in Matthew 6:25-34. If you want to find fellowship with Jesus, find the path […]
Finding a burden can lead you to powerful prayer. Praying with the burden can lead you to effective prayer, because you are asking Yahweh to do what He wants done. Finding yourself as the answer to your prayer is discovering your calling – the matching of a yoke to the burden you have already accepted. What troubles you the most […]
It is true that when we seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, we will find all provision. It is not true that we will be free from conflict or accusation or assault. It is through hardships that we must enter the Kingdom. Be awesome. Romans 5:1-5 John 16:33 Acts 14:21-22
Should it ever happen that on some day you do something that the Holy Spirit convicts you of as sin, you should repent of it with depth of heart and permanent change. “Repent” means a responsive change of mind: you thought a certain way or believed a certain thing, then something happened, and now you think a different way or […]

A further, more refined look at the issue becomes, in my estimation, how quickly a person’s […]

“Then the man who had received one talent also approached and said, ‘Master, I know you. You’re a difficult man, reaping where you haven’t sown and gathering where you haven’t scattered seed. So I was afraid and went off and hid your talent in the ground. Look, you have what is yours.’ “But his master replied to him, ‘You evil, […]
Almost everyone had imaginary friends when they were children. Even Barbie and GI Joe fit into our friendships. Pups and cats were the victims of thousands of hours of one-sided conversations. The adult version of imaginary friends is FaceBook. Graduating from that use of our imaginations to interacting with Jesus as a Friend is quite a leap. He is not […]
If I purchase a vehicle, the amount which I pay for it will be stuck in my mind. If I have to then take it to a mechanic for expensive repairs, that fee will be added to the cost in my mind. Jesus, though, did not look at the cost of having us any longer than it took to come […]
