An Anchor

,
Every boat has an anchor but do our lives have this solid weight keeping us stable?  Sometimes a weight can be a hindrance but when it has a purpose then one can allow for it. God's word, the Bible, provides solidness for our lives. If we…

Purity

, ,
In God's vocabulary it is very high on his list of priorities for us humans but alas not so high on ours unless we get serious at living the Christian life (his enabling totally).  No man/woman can ever see the Lord without His covering on…

Peace in our Time

, ,
Peace with God is the only answer. Our hearts have to have a complete change (that only God can do as we come to Jesus Christ) to enable the Prince of Peace to have his way. Otherwise individual opinions hold and, as everyone's differs, then people…

Surprised By Joy

, ,
Yes - a title for one of C.S. Lewis's books and a good read, too, but are we surprised when we have lots of joy? I am of the belief that we are meant to have joy continually for "the joy of the Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10)  and…

Born to Die

, , ,
Jesus Christ was born on time and his mission to die for the whole world was spot on time, too. God is never too early or too late with what he does. It's obvious that after we are born we have to die sometime (unless Jesus comes back first…

Being Available to God

,
We humans can have a grand idea about what God wants of us.  He simply wants us to be his servants so that we can do what he asks and be on call for whoever may need us as he leads us. When we become Christians we immediately are someone…

Half-full?

,
Are you a half-full or half-empty person? Human beings seem to be in one of these camps.  We either see things positively or negatively. I hover between the two! God has intended that we always see things from a half-full perspective. …

The Light of the World

, ,
During the week when some people "do" Halloween, instead let's celebrate Jesus as the Light of the World.  He dispels the darkness around us and His light is brighter than any other. He came to remove the darkness of sin and can set us free…
