The significance or importance of the truth. Reality: When the truth of God and His Word are diminished, we die. Every truth that is honest and pure was established before the creation of man. The truth did not evolve or mature, like man; it is the central thought and action of its Creator, almighty God. “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (John 17:17). Every truth has originated from the same entity or source, GOD! God is the One that gives the truth its authority and purpose. If we choose to live abundant lives, we must be obedient [Read More…]
Interesting Concept … Even though I must be busy in my service to the Lord, if I am to accomplish His will in my life, I must learn to wait upon Him. My every thought and motivation must come from Him. “And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:3-4). The difficulties in life come from [Read More…]
Security, what is it? Where does it come from? Recently I was given the opportunity to enter the Publisher Clearing House $5,000.00 a week lottery. Having a lot of instances where I could put that money to good use, I was thinking how nice it would be to win such a contest. It seems that there is never enough money to go around and that there are more causes than cures. The house is in need of repairs; and, the family is in want of what they consider, the necessities of life. The church warrants my financial assistance; and it [Read More…]
Life is a journey that all of us will make, but so many of us just don’t seem to be able to handle (Psalms 1:6). The irrelevant has over-taken the needed and the necessary has been exchanged for the trivial. We have placed ourselves in jeopardy and are unable to reason or understand. The true importance of life has been over-shadowed by delusions and outright deception. We have been placed in the position of hopelessness; but, by the grace of almighty God, we have been given a chance of restoration, a chance of total victory. Blindsided by the insensitivities [Read More…]
. True passion comes from the heart and controls and directs our thoughts, our minds. It is in control of our motives, our actions, and our intentions. The heart, in and of itself, wants to give, to share. That is how God intended; that is how He created us. It is the center of our being; it is life itself. That is what makes it so important who we have given it to. If God is in control of our heart, good will come from it. If Satan is in control, it will be filled with evil and perversion. “The [Read More…]
There is no joy in pretending, I no longer seek to live for the moment. Life is not a series of excursions disconnected and unfulfilled. As we walk through the valley, we gain those things that cause us true joy and fulfillment when we reach the mountaintop. To know the true magnitude of explicit joy we must first experience the absolute misery of bitter pain. To understand and appreciate the significance of ponderous wealth we must first experience the horror and negativity of adverse poverty. We live by comparisons; good or evil, rich or poor, happy or sad, without them [Read More…]
The Bible states that the pleasures of sin are real and that many will be carnally satisfied and will affectionately hold on to what this world has to offer. They will even give up their eternal security to experience sin even if it is only for the moment. Defending what is temporal holds no true merit when what is eternal has been offered you as a gift. If nothing else, this one fact tells you of the power that this world has over the lives of individuals and its ability to close or corrupt the minds of mankind. Given the [Read More…]
God is to be found blameless in all aspects of creation and if we are to gain any form of relevance or sanity we must line up or be harmonious to His divine will. The gifts and eternal blessings of God are for everyone. God created me and has given me the opportunity to become whosoever I choose. What God has done did not determine my value but has proven His magnificent love. The value of life is unmatchable; life is the essence of all being. When you take away life you have taken all that is truly important. God’s [Read More…]
There is nothing this world can do that will make me change my mind about what I believe or who I serve; but, even if it could, the truth will always remain what it is, the truth. What I believe is the same as exercising “common sense” and to believe otherwise would cause me to be illogical and foolish. Times may change; beliefs or opinions may become subject to scrutiny; but the truth and realities of life will always remain abiding and constant. Life or death, on or off, true or false, good or bad, every quality or characteristic has [Read More…]
