Do you praise God ever? Why or why not? Is it only when good things happen? Why? I find that people will praise God when things are going great in their lives, but as soon as things turn bad (by their opinion), they are ready to curse God or blame Him for everything. It is […]
Simple
Sometimes the simple things are best. My web hosting company merged with another. Now the navigation to get here to post is very painful. This is true in our relationship with God. Jesus told us to become like little children. Matthew 18:3 New International Version (NIV) 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you […]
Addiction
My brother-in-law is addicted to drugs. He does not want to admit it, but he is. I can fully understand. I have a friend who is an alcoholic. He will drink about 10 Johnny Walker Black drinks per night. Over the past three years, I find myself drinking more alcohol than I have in the […]
My Bud
People tend to think of the Lord as their pal, bud, friend, but not as their creator. Why? Is it fear that if they acknowledge a creator, then the Bible may be true, which will mean they are accountable for their actions? News flash, there is a creator, the Bible is His word, and you […]
The Past
In my state, the Governor, Lt Governor, and now the Attorney General are under fire for what they did way in the past. The only one that is probably legitimate is the Lt Governor. I do not get people. Why are we trying to hold people that did something that was considered acceptable at the […]
Normal
Man and God have defined normal differently. With God, normal never changes. Numbers 23:19 New International Version (NIV) 19 God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind.Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Hebrews 13:8 New International Version (NIV) 8 Jesus Christ is […]
I can because
There is a saying that was used a lot in years past, “Just because you can does not mean you should” or something like that. Today that phrase means absolutely nothing. In fact, people go out of there way to almost do the exact opposite. People thing that if they can, then they should without […]
Red Flag Laws
Several states have and no my state is getting ready to introduce what is called the Red Flag Law. It completely violates the constitution. It violates the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 14th ammendments. I understand that these governments/people are trying to protect the innocent, but they are doing more harm than good. The Red […]
Just Do It
Just Do It is a slogan of a famous tennis shoe company. There is a problem with this philosophy. Just Do It implies that we should not even think about what we were are doing and just take a giant leap. This approach could lead us down a path of destruction. You could argue that […]
A Match
Christians are like matches: When a Christian has just been saved, there is a typically a lot of energy just like when a match is first struck. That match has the capability to start a raging fire or it can continue to consume the same fuel and eventually burn out. A Christian that is frustrated […]
