    Rumblings of Things To Come. Personal Thoughts

    If we think worship is something done on a particular day at a particular place with a group of people, I think we have not understood what worship fundamentally means. Worship is what we do, what we think when something gets our attention and holds it, be it sport or money or pleasure or...

    Rumblings of Things To Come. Personal Thoughts

    :) I use 'one' to cover all bases. Using the term 'you' does not include me....it sets me apart from you.....it puts me in a position excluded from any 'judgement'. I don't consider it formal; I consider it inclusive. That said, do I fill my world with doing, doing, doing? I think understanding...

    how does one die to self when doing, doing, doing ....particularly what is considered the 'pious' stuff.....is in the spotlight?

    Right Doctrines-Beliefs of the true NATURE of God and his Son is a BIG DEAL!

    the question of who makes definitions....hmmmm. Any self honest person can figure out the truth of certain statements.

    Right Doctrines-Beliefs of the true NATURE of God and his Son is a BIG DEAL!

    whatever gets your attention and maintains it becomes your object of worship.

    What!....Forgive?

    So I wonder, is Jesus my helper or my Saviour? When Jesus returns in glory what can I contribute?....I mean, if I have died and the maggots are done with their partying, that is a flat liner for certain. Whatever God does it will be with out my imagined help, you know, changing this corruptible...

    Should a Christian smoke marijuana?

    I think Solomon in Ecclesiastes 7:10 is referring to the the mistaken idea that previous times/ages were better. Our memory is faulty and facts easily get swallowed in fantasy. In fact, fantasy has such persuasiveness it convinces us we can see around corners, read peoples minds and set...

    What!....Forgive?

    So you blow it again, where to from here? Trying harder hasn't worked for you?....it hasn't worked for me either. Yeah yeah, the resolve is there and for a while I pat myself on my back, maybe you do to? 'I've beat the offending characteristic, I'm on my way to heaven'...hallelujah, praise the...

    Hopeless & Suicidal

    Avianna....pray for the strength to forgive.....every time the memories of your experience surface and make the choice to forgive. Yes, forgiveness is a choice.....feelings follow later down the track. I am telling you this from personal experience. When you maintain resentment, hopelessness...

    What Is Your Super Power?

    What Is Your Super Power? 'Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are regarded as dust on the scales ...' Isaiah 40:15 What! I have Super Power??

    ARE YOU TURNING YOUR BACK TO HIM

    Those who have no oil, have no oil because of laziness, indifference or deliberate choice. Oil is plentiful and available.

    ARE YOU TURNING YOUR BACK TO HIM

    When will you guys move from kindergarten to grade one? Round and round in circles; never ending.....making lots of repetitive words as if something is being said. Frankly, those who have come to Jesus remain stuck with infants and the world looking on sees it nothing short of pathetic.

    Dealing with a spirit of fear

    Jesus has come to change our thinking about God, not God's thinking about us......can we hear that?

    Dealing with a spirit of fear

    God's blessings are constant. It is how we think that disables.

    The jabs don't work

    For God so loved the world he gave his only Son.....and we took his life.....and he let us take it. while we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly. God revealed himself in Jesus for our benefit. Historically God did something in Jesus for humanity before many were born and after many...
