lead me on level ground.

what now?
How many times do we try to do right and then what? Something happens. We fail, or things don’t turn out the way we expect. The truth is, if we are doing what God wants us to do: we haven’t failed! Continue reading

Blessings, not cursings
As the Israelites were receiving their “laws” – some of them were emphasized. As I always say: “if the Bible repeats something, it must be REALLY important.” As you read these Scriptures from Deuteronomy, keep this in mind…
Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always. – Deuteronomy 11:1
Challenge yourself – Follow Him in EVERYTHING and see how many blessings come your way!

Are you sure?
When I was in the military some time ago, I was known for asking my soldiers “Are you sure?” Why did I ask this? I discovered very quickly that once someone came across an excuse, albeit true or not, they used it – assumed it as the truth – and moved on to the next issue at hand. Unfortunately, more times than not, the original (surface) answer given is not always the underlying and root issue or cause at hand…. Continue reading

the Holy Spirit
Why doesn’t the Holy Spirit come upon us more often?
This is a great question that I think a good many Christians ask when attempting to grow in their Christian faith.
Other relevant questions include:
Why don’t I feel closer to God?
What am I doing that is holding me back?
Why isn’t my church growing?

For MEN only!
This is for MEN only – women do not read…
Sometimes we get in trouble because we don’t fully read instructions when assembling a toy or attempting do-it-yourself repairs around the house. I know my wife has told me . . .

doing good
Sometimes it’s hard to do good. But…
7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

separation anxiety
Lately I’ve spoken at length of sin. But let’s discuss briefly what sin does and doesn’t do to us:
Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? – Romans 8:35
