Forgiveness and Kindness

Ephesians 4:31-32

It amazes even me how we are more apt to forgive other before we forgive ourselves. There are things that had been done to me by others that I forgave and the things that I had done; I never addressed. Without forgiving yourself we set ourselves up for inner torture. It takes root within us and buds then blooms into ugliness that we can’t explain. It is just as important to forgive ourselves as it is to forgive others of the wrong that has been done and…

Made right with GOD

Ephesians 2:8-9

So many of us believe that we are okay with GOD because we help those who are in need. Attend church; volunteer and so forth. But these and other things that we do that is considered work or pleasure does not cut it with GOD. GOD does not sit in heaven with HIS eyes on you and give us merits for our works. There is only one way to be made right with GOD and there is absolutely no other way at all.

John 14:6 JESUS said to him “I AM…

Qualities of a Spirit filled life

Galatians 5:22-23

There was a time period of my life that I had a spirit of anger. The thing is I did not know this; all my life I had been excellent at keeping my feelings to myself. Because of this without realizing it because I never lashed out at people; I was not rude; I did not speak harm to other; I developed an internal cooking pot. I had a knack at sarcasm; I'm told that my sense of humor is dry so for the most part the only people who got what I was…

WOMEN OF GRACE



WOMEN OF GRACE



"Women of Grace", is what the Lord brought

to my mind a few weeks ago. As I lay thee on my bed to receive from

the Father what He would have to say on "women of grace", I

knew it was something that He wanted me to share with the women. men

could benefit from this as well. It's…

Give cheerfully

 

2 Corinthians 9:4-7

 

Right out the box; I want to establish the difference between giving and tithing.

Giving is to present voluntarily and without expecting compensation.

Tithing is a tenth of the produce of the earth consecrated and set apart for special purposes. The dedication of a tenth to God was recognized as a duty before the time of Moses. Abraham…

Newness of life

2 Corinthians 5:17

When a baby is born he/she is a clean slate with the exception of what he/she has been hard wired for. They are innocent and need to be taught. The same for the new CHRISTian they are new born babes; innocent and need to be taught. Most of us when we came to JESUS did not get that instant all purpose clean up that you and everyone who knew you could see and hear. That percentage is small; however, for the remainder of us folk; we have to be told and…

Comforting others

1 Corinthians 1:3-4

 

Each of us requires comfort from others. Let’s face it, the comfort we need is not going to be found from a pet; the mis-use of alcohol; drugs; food and so on. GOD has hard wired all people to need people. After all; when GOD created man, GOD noticed that man was the only one without a companion. So GOD provided Adam with a wife who would bring comfort to him. There are so many people in the world who took a left turn in life because when…

Manna Moment -- The Gouge of Gossip

Proverbs 18:8  The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts.”



Good morning it’s Monday and it’s not blue but 62 with a high of 82 today!  Nice weather.  Just to let you know I made it out on Friday morning and half way through the ride, I got soaking wet, but it felt good!  Savannah got washed from the water and now doesn’t have mud caked on the back part of the frame.  It was a weekend of memories as we as a nation…

Humanity must be resurrected. This is not an incidental "religious" issue: "But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen" (1 Corinthians 15:13).

Where is That Mirror???

Hmmmmm....while watching discovery channel, I saw a special on snakes. Hear me out. The premise was deadly snakes and how they strike.



There is a "striking distance" and it was different for each variety, but they had one nonetheless.



What struck me as very fascinating is the King Cobra. This one has a 7 foot striking distance.



It seems that they have a way of when they sense danger , or sudden movement that they “stand” up and display their hood. The back of…

Luke 18:39 “Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”  Good morning it’s Wednesday and we are half way through the week, just as it started.  That’s the great thing about 3 day weekends.  Yesterday was quite cool and today’s high is expected at 81 with rain.  Its September and a time to help your lawn and gardens recover from the hard heat of August.   Get prepared as starting Sunday night at…
