The Bottom Line!

When your life has changed and you are now living a new “normal.”  What to do? God says… to trust Him with our whole being.  Proverbs 3:5 He also tells us to stop leaning on others… to stop leaning on familiar circumstances… and to stop leaning on ourselves.  Don’t rely on your own understanding of […]

Give from your heart for God’s glory

There are several ways to build a church building.  One way is to incur debt.  That is the quickest way and it is also a type of enslavement… to meet the debt every month. Another way is to raise all the needed money, then break ground for the building… that is not the quickest way; […]

Entangled!

Imagine yourself entangled in a vine twisting itself around your arms and fingers, making it so you can’t move.  Scary thought isn’t it? Sin is like such a vine, winding and spiraling itself around our thinking, our actions and our words.  Even our motives become ensnared in wrong thinking.  The offshoots of the root of […]

Listen to… Learn from… Lean on… God

So many times we like to think of God being the Good Father, and He is!  We like to think of His lovingkindness and He gives that with abundance.  But God is well-rounded in His attributes.  He is not only loving and kind, He is also very much aware of sin against Himself. The LORD […]

Do I?

Are you in the habit of asking yourself questions?  I don’t!  At least not thought provoking questions which search my motives and thoughts as I ought.  Do you? Moses was called by God to go up the mountain, again, to get the Ten Commandments from God Himself.  Exodus 34:1-4  He was on the mountain, again […]

Our God draws us to Himself

God drew Moses closer to Himself.  Yes, God the living God. You also, follower of Christ, can experience drawing closer to God your Savior. What Moses experienced Moses asked the living God to be shown God’s glory.  The God of the Bible responded with “I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and […]

You!

You are being looked for… by God! You are not beyond the reach… of God! No matter where you are at this moment, no matter what you have done in the past, you are not a throw-away person… to God! No matter how others treat you… God loves you! You are an important person… to […]

“… by the mercies of God…”

(NASB) Romans 12:1 “Therefore, I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies, a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.” (Underlining added) God’s mercies are astounding! His mercies cannot be earned. His mercies cannot be bought. His mercies are a gift. His mercies […]

“I have known you by name…”

The living God told Moses, and we can know we are also included, follower of Christ: (NASB) Exodus 33:17 “The LORD said to Moses… for you have found favor in My sight and I have known you by name.” Use your imagination, think outside your box, follower of Christ. When you received Jesus Christ as […]

If Your presence does not go with me…

Plans, decisions, going forward… do you depend on someone else or yourself to come up with solid plans for the future?  Followers of Christ, do you seek God and ask what He wants you to do? Moses went to the tent of meeting to talk with the living God and to listen to Him. At […]
