I know I have mentioned this before but felt compelled to talk about it again. We are instructed to take captive our thoughts. 2 Corinthians 10:5 New International Version (NIV) 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient […]

Spiritual Influence
I am going to say this up front, most of you will not believe in demonic influence especially if you are a Christian. if you are a Christian, you may think that is a funny statement to make, but those that I have encountered that claim to be Christian do not think that there can […]
Bitterness
As I get older, I seem to get more and more bitter. Not sure where or when it all changed, but I know that it did. If I had to guess some of it is the worldly influence on my life, my own fleshly desires, my own imposed and the lies that Satan fed me […]
Why God 4?
As stated, there are many questions that people ask God. This is why does God send people to Hell? He did not intend too, but due to man committing sin, that is where we ended up. Hell was created for Satan and the other angels that followed him. God does not relish in sending people […]

So too often when things happen to us, we want to blame someone or something else. Recently, I was reading a devotional about anger. If you cannot tell, that is one of my major areas that needs to be worked on. In this devotional, the author was talking about being angry with God. The question […]
Food
I have talked about the food we eat in the past. Recently, there was a conversation about our eating meat and that we do not need to eat meat because the largest animals on the planet are herbivores. This is an illogical cause and effect type analysis. This makes the assumption that we can process […]
Love does not Envy
Love does not envy is part of the 1 Corinthians 13:4, but what the heck does that mean? Beats me. I guess this post is over. Well not really. We need to dig a little to understand what this means. The word “envy” is translated from ancient Greek and it means “to burn with zeal.” […]
The food we eat
There are so many diets out there these days. The Atkins, Slow Carb, Paleo, Mediterranean, Weight Watchers, South Beach, The Zone, Nutrisystems, Hunter/Farmer and the lost goes on and on. All of these promote eating healthier, but they all have a slightly different twist to make them sort of unique. I am currently doing the […]
