Joy? Faith?… In a trial?

How many of you are going through (or have been in) a very trying in your life.  You may have tension in your relationships, anger and bitterness, or confusion about why you are going through difficulty.  I will be the first to confess I don’t have all the answers.  It makes so much sense for [...]

Seek First the Kingdom

I am considering making it a goal to do a weekly blog post.  I know many of you dedicated bloggers post considerably more than that.  If there are some amazing bloggers who can swing that and work a full time job, hats off to them (I am not one of them).  Unfortunately, I only get [...]

When Life Puts You To The Test

I discovered some bad news and told him what I found; almost the next sentence he was saying, “Hallelujah! Um, do this!”

Piercing the Darkness

and the Power of Prayer
A couple of days ago I completed, “Piercing the Darkness” by Frank Peretti.  This is the sequel to, “This Present Darkness.”  Though this series is fictional, the concepts presented are not.  (Note- This series is not recommended for younger readers.)  These books bring into sharp focus the reality of the spiritual [...]

For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, [...]

Coveting

If the contentment goes and the giving of thanks goes, we are not loving God as we should, and proper desire has become coveting against God.  This inward area is the first place of loss of true spirituality.  The outward is always just a result of it.
The second test as to when proper desire [...]

Meditations on Music

Satan was created to be the leader of music in heaven (Ezekiel 28:13 I believe that the majority of this chapter refers to Satan). His job was to orchestrate music to praise, worship, and glorify God. This is what Satan did best. A screwdriver has a specific function for which it is best [...]
