Our Journey to Life

Church learders are the most guilty of creating beliefs that do not take into consideration ALL the scriptures on a certain topic. Usually they do this by “teaching” from a pre-conceived idea or a negative experience, or an opinion, which is already in place — and then they open the Bible. ~~~~~~~~~~~ In a previous post I [...]

I love the book of Galatians. Recently, at least, it and the Gospels, have been my favorite. I love how Paul starts out: To the churches in Galatia: 3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the [...]

You’ve probably heard it before on TV or in a Movie. It’s a fairly popular saying: “If you want to get to her you’ll have to go through ME!” That’s a threat, of course. But it is not a threat if the person saying it has the authority and muscle to back it up! I [...]

Why do I often paste scripture as a blog post? Can’t you read the Bible for yourself? I post scripture for two reasons: I just get so excited about a passage that I can’t help but share it! I hope that a little scripture as a post is an encouragement to dig into the scriptures [...]

Ephesians 5 1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering andsacrifice to God. 3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind [...]

I’m not sure how many times I heard my mother say it: “David, if you can’t say something good then don’t say anything at ALL!” She said it enough for it to ring in my ears, and in my heart, especially when the Spirit convicts me of not saying something good… about someone, or something. [...]

Still practicing the presence of God the last couple days but it’s been busy and so it’s been challenging. But I am heeding the wise words of Boyd and not beating myself up for forgetting to remember God more often than I am. Still, it’s so good just to pause several times a day and [...]

Statements of faith do not give us Life. Only Christ gives us Life. Our “statements” tend to create more division than they do unity. Although, I do think every individual should try to scratch out a “statement” of belief, even if no one ever sees it but you. It will tell you a good deal [...]
