Boasting

  2 Corinthians 10:17-18 “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. What we boast in is actually what we are slaves to. Whatever it is that we boast in as our success, what we … Continue reading

We are Undercover Bullies

1 Corinthians 1:27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all … Continue reading

Ministry

Ministry is about displaying God’s grace and mercy by using the worthless to do the impossible which will last an eternity. No, it is not always sunshine and that one person that you are disciplining doesn’t always get it. But as ministers we set aside our comfort and bear all for the sake of others.

A Discontent Heart

Philippians 4:11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.

These words show us that contentment is not a natural propensity of man. “Ill weeds grow apace.” Covetousness, discontent, and murmuring are as natural to man as thorns are to the soil. We need not sow thistles and brambles; they come up naturally enough, because they are indigenous to earth: and so, we need not teach men to complain; they complain fast enough without any education.

A Heart of Thanksgiving

The Pharisee and the Tax Collector Luke 18:9-14 9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed  … Continue reading

Duty Or Pleasure

During our lifetime we perform many jobs.  As children we  dream of having a job that we will enjoy doing for rest of lives.  We run off to the universities and various institutions of higher learning in order to follow our dreams.  We spend whatever it takes so that duty will be our pleasure.  We … Continue reading

God cares what you do

I recently received the email below from crosswalk.com and I felt that it must be shared. Isaiah 3:10-11 Say to the righteous that it will go well with them, For they will eat the fruit of their actions. Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him, For what he deserves will be done … Continue reading

Questionable

I’m usually questioned more by believers about my stance than non believers.  It happens often and it always shocks me.  It shocks me because “christians” argue points that they have no knowledge of.  Not only is it done without understanding but without ever having studying a single bible chapter.  So are they questioning me, challenging … Continue reading
