Are you trying to become perfect by your own human effort? Are you trying to fulfill God’s promises without Him? As we grow, we venture out on our own, away from our Earthly parents, but we must not do this with God as we grow in our faith, and remind ourselves of our constant needContinue reading “Perfection: Strive or Accept?”

Too often people speak truth or love, but not both. Many have lost the ability to be compassionate or lost the ability to differentiate between truth and lies, fact and opinion, and/or subjectivity and objectivity. Both love and truth are equally important. Truth must flow from love and love must flow from truth. They mustContinue reading “Truth AND Love”

One of the most satisfying things about God’s Word that you can’t say about other books is that you can chew on it your whole life and never have to spit any of it out. It takes root in you and nourishes every part of your being.  “My child, never forget the things I haveContinue reading “Don’t spit”

One of the most deceptive lies that Satan thrives on in our culture is the notion that we can be good apart from God. If we reject God’s standard, then we are forced to look inward or to the world to define ethical and moral boundaries, which are relative, depending on who you are andContinue reading “I’m good…”

Bitterness is a thief of joy and consumes every part of a persons life, becoming a stronghold and sometimes even an idol. It corrupts us and takes our focus off of God. It puts focus onto ourselves as the victim, and it shuts down our empathy and understanding. People can often become immobilized due toContinue reading “Bitterness Focus”

Do you ever feel like you are in spiritual rehab? My whole life is spiritual rehabilitation. When you are faced with a wrong you’ve done, do you dig your heels into it, by reasoning or justifying it, entrenching you more in wrong filled thinking, hardening your heart, and not allowing God to change you? Or,Continue reading “Spiritual rehab”

Thankful for God’s presence and communication in my life. He definitely feels like a Father the way He lovingly nudges me in the right direction. The way He is patient with me, waiting for my heart to soften, and He somehow links my prayer life with what I need: His will, gently drawing me toContinue reading “God is a pathfinder”

“Fear can divert our life energy from investing in real people and things and wasting it on a mirage. God creates faith, and Satan counteracts that faith with his counterfeit of fear.” “Some of the concern was legitimate—based on actual negative things happening in the present that we needed to deal with. Some of theContinue reading “Fear is a Liar”

Do you ever long for peace? I will preface this post with, some people do have a chemical imbalance in their brain or a chronic mental illness that cause abnormalities manifested in ongoing emotional and psychological symptoms that impact their everyday life and can require medication. But, for those who experience SITUATIONAL fear, worry, anxiety,Continue reading “Peace Be With You”

This is like holding a mirror up to our culture. I’ve exhibited many of these traits at different times. We need more Jesus to transform us into the people God created us to be. Let’s not be: selfish, unloving, slanderous, lovers of money, people who betray our friends, people who seek pleasure rather than God,Continue reading “Look in the Mirror”
