Minute meditation for each day (20)

“Whoever does the will of my heavenly Father, is brother and sister and mother to me.” Mt.12:50

Reflection:

When God’s will speaks everything else must remain silent. Even the greatest creature must humble himself. Above the ties of blood there exists the community of those who have done the will of God.

Christ belongs to them and they belong to Him, in the same way as brothers and sisters and mother belong one to the…

How Do You See and Read the Bible?

The single greatest division that exists in Christianity today is arguably between two groups with fundamentally different ways of seeing and reading the Bible.

Is the Bible the written "Word of God," or "a word about God?"

Traditional/Orthodox Christians: On one side, are traditional/orthodox…

Minute meditation for each day (19)

“Each one of you is a son of God because of your faith in Christ Jesus.” Gal.3:26

Reflection:

As children of God, we must give ourselves in love, one to another. We must help each other in our troubles, as is proper for brothers and sisters.

Do I think of all human beings as my brothers and sisters, and that I have duties and responsibilities toward them?

Prayer:

“Jesus, my Brother, grant that I may love…

PRAYER

Prayer before you speak:

Father, guide my thoughts before they become my words. Place a guard over my mouth and a watchman over the door of my lips.

When I open my mouth, I ask You to fill it with right words, good words, true words, loving words—words that will point the way to Your heart. May my words be acceptable and pleasing to You as You hear their…

My Amazing Journey part 8

As I mentioned about Lynn being able to hold Sawyer. Well he was all bundled up in a blanket that first time. A couple days later she was able to "kangaroo" with him. This is skin on skin. The great thing about this method is the child feels the security of the mother. The warmth and the love that goes with it. As over stimulated as Sawyer was, his heart rate would drop to a nice calming beat. It really is pretty remarkable.

Lynn was always looking forward to that day, the doctors…

Reflection:

My mission in the world is to be a light in the darkness and a guide to others in their journey through life.

Therefore I must strive, with God’s help, to receive His grace and so to bring Him to all persons who are in need of Him.

Conviction vs. Condemnation

We all deal with this subject, yet we also all seem to have trouble figuring out which is which at times. There are some discussions going on here now that play into this. One is Does God want me to feel good about myself? Well the obvious answer is yes. If we feel bad about ourselves, we’re not going to hold our heads up and proclaim the gospel. We’re going to walk around with our heads…

Poem: Hearts and Hands

In times of earthly trouble,

placing our heads in our hands,

accomplishes nothing; instead…

we need to lift up our hearts and hands.

For in surrendering our issues to Him,

we start to see the solutions we need.

Applying Godly answers becomes much easier,

when to the Holy Scriptures we heed.

For our heavenly Father loves us,

and He wants us to pray openly;

such an opportunity allows us…

Poem: Unfailing Love

O my Lord, it’s another beautiful day;

I’m reminded that Your tender mercies,

have been released for my benefit again.

Having placed my trust only in You,

I pray to walk on paths of righteousness,

which are in accordance with Your Word.

Show me my lesson plan and journey for today,

as I yearn for Your kindhearted companionship.

Allow me to hear this morning’s song,

which resonates with Your… unfailing…

Minute meditation for each day (17)

“Venerate the Lord, that is, Christ, in your hearts.” 1Pt.3:15

Reflection:

If I believe in God’s presence within me I will not permit anything profane or unworthy of Him in me. I will avoid everything that is not in accordance with His will because He is all-Holy.

My only fear must be to displease Him, and my only concern to give all worship and honor to Him Who is my Lord.

Prayer:

“Holy Spirit, come and fill me with Your…
