Something in Life I Know to Be True In a world that’s full of turbulence there are a few things that I have found to be rewarding and forever true. There are things that I have learned not to doubt or question but to depend upon as I go through the day. Some of them may sound unimportant at first, but when you stop and think about it, the world today has been commissioned or driven to produce people who do not ask or question but simply follow. You are not taught today to think for yourself but to just [Read More…]
Life in Perspective A comprehensive look at life the way God has intended. A book never published Introduction – My Intent or Purpose As I begin writing, I pray for God’s continual protection and wisdom. I want my life to be consistent, to have a meaning wider and deeper than life itself. Why is it that while I write my mind has cause to wander? What is it that seeks to pull me away, to cause me to falter? I pray as I write that God will give me what I am to say and that every word will be [Read More…]
Did I say that? How is it that we feel that we should be rewarded or given some type of trophy for doing the right thing or what we should have done? Does it take courage to be honest or to do what is expected? Have we drifted so far that we do not see what is important, what should be expected? Integrity, what is it? Is it something we can live without? I do not ask these questions from anyone without first asking them from myself. I know how difficult the pressures of life can be, how painful life [Read More…]
There is no accountability where the truth is not being taught. Truth is the framework that righteous living is built upon, it is what motivates and guides us. Nothing can survive without it; there is nothing that can replace what only the truth will give. Jesus said, “I am the way the truth and the life” (John 14:6) He is our only way unto the Father or the only way to Heaven. To accept anything but the truth will put your life into peril, there is only one way to Heaven and that is thru the cross. To preach anything [Read More…]
ANY WORTH OR RIGHT THAT I may HAVE comes from Almighty God; I have no right or authority of my own. That to me seemingly makes me worthless, makes me of little or no value, but when I read Gods Holy Word I am given pause to hope and to ponder, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish but shall have eternal life. Many have come and gone but everyone that has walked this earth were only here because of His magnificent love and grace. There [Read More…]
At some point in my writing, I considered it would be good policy to construct an outline to express my intentions and to guide me in my writing. Being a rebel, I often take a road seldom traveled; but, by doing so, my intent is to view things from a different perspective, not to be considered defiant. I do not wish to discard the accepted rules or methods of writing, but most of what I have written is by inspiration. I am not an author, nor do I possess the skills or attitude of a writer. All I have written [Read More…]
You can receive Jesus Christ right now by faith through prayer. Prayer is an expression of faith. God is not so much concerned with the words as He is with the attitude of your heart. You can know real peace in your heart and a certainty of heaven when you die. The Bible says, “Behold I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20). Would you respond and pray this prayer? “Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need to [Read More…]
Recognize that God loves you and has a unique plan for your life. The Bible says, “For God so loved the world the he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Realize that because of our sins, we have been separated from God and come short. The Bible says, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Believe that Christ died in the cross to pay the price for our sins and to purchase a place in [Read More…]
We have been commissioned as Christians to carry the true Word of God to all men. What is known in the Bible as the Great Commission has been given to all who have accepted His true salvation. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28,19-20. Our responsibility and desire should be to do what Christ has [Read More…]
