Psalm 119 - Notes on Christian Growth

Psalm 119 David begins in verses 1-8 by recognizing two things. First, that those who walk according to the Lord's commands are blameless indeed. Secondly, that his own heart is deficient in exactly this blessing; "Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees." Despite his recognition...

Listening Spiritually

When we are properly "tuned up" spiritually, our words and thoughts match the promptings of our spirits perfectly. Non-Christians, immature Christians, and those with sin or emotional issues, however, will not be so in harmony, and in talking to others we need to be careful to hear what the...

Holiness

God shows us daily His love , His joy, and His protection. When we step out of His will we lose the above, whether or not we are believers. So... Are you walking in His will, or are you running from His plan for you ? Walking in obedience to the Lord Jesus comes with a price, you know. People around...

Molly

There is a place, whether on this earth or elsewhere I cannot say, where time at last shakes hands with vast eternity. It is a valley, this magical place - a lovely, lush, and fertile valley, bordered on both the east and west by huge, majestic mountains, and to the north and south by deep, wide, restful...

Becoming God's Word

"Study to Show Yourself Approved of God..." Recently, I went through a major trial with a person who is extremely dear to me. At first her attitude was very encouraging. She saw I was a bit down and she said she couldn't wait to see how God was going to use this time later in our lives...

Apathy and Christian Worldliness

Ecclesiastes 8:11 "Because the Sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily the hearts of men are fully set to do evil. When Christians turn away from God they rarely do so all at once. Usually they start with the eyes. They look at the possible pleasures in the world and see that not...

Strength

Reading: 2 Samuel 6: 1-9 Before the shed blood of our Messiah, the Ark was the place where God met man for personal communion. God gave very specific instructions on how it was to be built, what materials were to be used, how it was to be handled and moved and by whom, etc. It was designed both as a...

Gifts of God

I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.

Friends

Growing up I had a number of friends with whom I spent nearly every day. We lived in the country and we would ride bikes, play games, walk in the woods, swim in the summer, sled and have snowball fights in the winter, etc. We had our occasional tiffs, but it was understood that we were friends and we...

The Goose and the Princess

Chapter 1: The Goose and the Princess (a poorly written but heartfelt love story) Ted and Christal loved each other very much.
