The grace of God

God has given grace to you--an unconditional gift. Receive and accept it. Look for opportunities to be "graceful" to those around you.

Exodus 33:19 - And the LORD said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

Proverbs 3:34 - He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble.

Acts 4:33 -… Continue

Stumbling over the Cross ~ 1 Corinthians 1.18-25

STUMBLING OVER THE CROSS

For the story of the cross is foolishness to those who are on the way to destruction, but it is the power of God to those who are on the way to salvation. For it stands written: ‘I will wipe out the wisdom of the wise and I will bring to nothing the cleverness of the clever.’ Where is the wise? Where is the expert in the law? Where is the man who debates about this world’s wisdom? Did not God render foolish the wisdom of this world? For when, in God’s wisdom, the… Continue

Ministering to pastors or maybe just the true God seekers

"Obey your leaders and submit to them,

for they are keeping watch over your souls,

as those who will have to give an account.

Let them do this with joy and not with groaning,

for that would be of no advantage to you."

—Hebrews 13:17

Sit back and think about it - you want the best spiritual direction possible, but

are you taking that person for… Continue

A Reflection of Jesus

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does James 1:22-25

Close your eyes for a… Continue

PRAYER REQUEST

Hello Everyone,
I need help praying for my grandson Matthew he has RSV and Bronchitis. He is not in the hospital yet but we fear that he may be soon. He is having a very hard time breathing and is on breathing treatments every two hours. But they don't seem to be helping him.
Thank You
Tina

God's absolute love for YOU!

God loves you with the same love He loved His own Son, Jesus. Think about that for a minute. DOesn't it send shivers up your spine? God loves you. And it isn't a bearly-tolerate-you-because-I-have-to love, but a completely over-the-top, can't-get-enough-of-you kind of love. Amazing? Yes. Unbelievable? Definitely. True? Absolutely!

Pride Begets Fear (a conversation with God)

Once again, I find myself battling pride. It’s funny though, how this little enemy can hide itself. Meaning, one usually expects pride’s presentation to illustrate something completely different from what it sometimes does. Certainly, recognizing fear as a byproduct of pride is no easy task. For instance, one might think that he or she stands victim solely to fear--which predictably leads to anxiety, which then of course indicates a need to rebuke or overcome fearful thoughts and emotions--when… Continue

Religion...is it or isn't it?

(To dream that you are in a church, suggests that you are seeking for some spiritual enlightenment and guidance. You are looking to be uplifted in some way. Perhaps you have made some mistakes in the past which have set you back on your path toward your goals. With proper support, you will get on the right track again. Alternatively, it may also mean that you are questioning and debating your life path and where it is leading. You are reevaluating what you want to do).

No divisions among you ~ 1 Corinthians 1.10-17

NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU.

Brothers, I urge you through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you should make up your differences and that you should see to it that there may be no divisions among you, but that you should be knit together in the same mind and the same opinion. Brothers, it has become all too clear to me, from information that I have received from members of Chloe’s household, that there are outbreaks of strife among you. What I mean is this – each of you is saying: ‘I… Continue

Great Post

I see you, I hear you, I feel for you.

You have expressed things well.

Corinthians was my own start, those verses are so completely true. Love never is a lever for anything. Love is pure.
Love has no victims. True love has no enemies, True love has no fear, True love is god. In love and in God.

RAMBLING: In His Presence

Isaiah Is Sent With a Message for the LORD'S People

1 In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a high and lofty throne. The bottom of his robe filled the temple. 2 Angels were standing above him. Each had six wings: With two they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. 3 They called to each other and said,

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Armies!

The whole earth is filled with his… Continue

Race

African, white, asian, indian, hispanic, etc...the list goes on and on. We were all put here for a purpose. A purpose we are too blind to see because we are too busy hating one another. For what? What is there to gain from hate? God's purpose for putting us here was in hopes that we all, as a different race, would learn to get along with one another. There is no one race above the other. There is no one sinless race, we are all guilty of sin and hate. As long as we continue our fight and hate… Continue

You can not run the race if you are " OVERWEIGHT " ok !!!

You can not run the race if you are overweight ok!!!….

In any race…. One who join must be physical fit. This refers to a runner making sure that all extra weights have been removed from his body. A 300 pound man isn't ready to run a marathon. Image and video hosting by TinyPic

In the spiritual arena, this refers to anything that hinders our walk with God. It speaks of things that are innocent in and of themselves, but when they slow you down in the Christian race,… Continue

Be Aware

For those who are not savy with the internet, if you get a request on here from some girl, and her picture is bright and perfect, but she has no profile info except a name and gender, shes fake and it isnt a girl. I used to manage a social site, and people like that make profile on websites that dont charge, and then they will make quick profiles and use a pretty picture to attract guys, but its not a real girl, its probably some foreigner. Just be careful, and delete everyone who has a page… Continue

Paul thanks God for what he has done

PAUL THANKS GOD for what he has done. 1 Corinthians 1.4-9

Always I thank my God for you, for the grace of God which has been given to you in Christ Jesus. I have good reason to do so, because in him you have been enriched in everything, in every form of speech, and in every form of knowledge, inasmuch as what we promised you that Christ could do for his people has been proved to be true in you. The result is that there is no spiritual gift in which you lag behind, while you eagerly wait… Continue

Here's proof to my last post 'you are worthy'

Ok I'll start right at the start.

I was driving to meet a friend, and was running late, (first God moment), she was running late too.

I came out of the driveway on the wrong angle so went a different way to usual.

A car was coming out of a driveway and reversed right into me.

Learned later on that they were Christian. (2nd God moment).

Tying to find our insurance details, as when we called them, they told us that they have no record of our car, and that we… Continue

guess god makes choices

JOHN 14:13-14

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it

I have been struggling for 8 months now to ask God in Jesus name for some sign to try and rescue a marriage where I felt there was some opportunity or a ray of hope.

Sadly I am told the divorce is in final stages and will be served to the day. I find it so hard to accept. The wife was never… Continue

I was the guy women hated

So to understand why I do the things I do, I just have to look at why I do them. My entire life has been filled with motivations of the devil. Like I said in my previous blog, I have been afraid of Gods plan for a long time, not trusting him to fulfill my need for happiness. Now im not saying that I didnt think God could give me happiness, but it wasnt the happiness I wanted. I have always wanted to be rich, have nice things, date a lot of women, and be glorified by everyone who saw me. The… Continue
