    Though Outwardly We Are Wasting Away ( 2Cor.4)

    Inwardly We Are Being Renewed Day By Day, When we believe, faith is always our God even when we are not at our best, we still survive. In fact we can grow from our failures by first of all noticing them as they are then admitting them and then rising from the ashes. It's our Lord's redemption...

    His truths matter, and they matter very much.

    Having some experience in Christian chats some years ago, I hear what you say clearly. Eventually I left that type of discussion. Many if not most turned God into an intellectual exercise. There are some positives in wisdom and also some intellectual thoughts. But for the most part, I left...

    I Am Not Ashamed Of The Gospel For It Is The Power Of God ( Romans:1 )

    You Will Be Ever Hearing But Never Understanding ( Matt.13 )

    Though Seeing They Do Not See, Jesus is addressing the mockers and the scorners, the fakers and the hypocrites. They have all the words of scripture in their pockets and yet none are in their hearts. When Jesus healed on the Sabbath, they were ready to great harm to Him because in their view...

    I Have Loved You With An Everlasting Love ( Jeremiah 31 )

    I Have Called You And You Are Mine, The Lord speaks to us in very generous terms directly to our hearts. There is no doubt in what He says, only certainty. He is not making a bargain with us, He is not saying I will do this, this and this for you and you better do this, this and this for me...

    A New Season

    Wintry evenings long since passed, Darkness and cold give way at last To shimmering leaves Upon the trees And thoughts of tomorrow Skies filled with birds and bees. The morning awakens With nature taking, A fertile look In every nook Sits back and evades The dingy shades Of yesterday. No...

    He Lifted Me Out Of The Pit Out Of The Mud And Mire ( Psalm:40 )

    He Gave Me A Firm Place To Stand, How precious is our Lord God who drags us out of the pits of insecurity, despondency and a strong will to give up. No matter how deep the cave, regardless of how far the abyss reaches into the earth, God will pull us out. Scripture says that there is no...
