Pain is not a curse; it's a blessing

When I despair, I look towards the sky and call out to God:

"Father, why have you forsaken me? Why do you make me suffer so? Why do people who don't believe you are better off than I am? If you love me so much, then why don't you make my life wonderful and full of happiness? Why don't you make me better than others? Have you not chosen me out of this world to serve you? So why am I not as good as others? Why is my life more miserable?"

In times like this, I often hear God… Continue

The teasing ends here!

Devotional of the week

Have you ever been teased? I have. And it's not good!

God didn't want this at all, but because we sinned it has kept going and going and going... When we tease others we have foul mouths and we regret what we say and some might say: it is cruel, wicked and nasty.

But we can learn from it by not doing what the rest of the world is doing:

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your… Continue

Write it down!!

(Another post from the past! In our Jesus Discovery Group, we are currently discussing "Grace and Truth" [John 1:14-18]. "[Jesus] came from the Father, full of grace and truth." The OT equivalent is "Mercy and Truth", so I thought I'd share these blog posts which I posted in August 07.)

Do you have to do that too, so you can remember? I know for me, if I write something down, it is SO much easier to remember.

Well, before I go on to the study of our two words, mercy… Continue

Don't leave home without them!

What would be the two things you would never leave home without? Wallet, mobile phone, keys, ID, credit card???...

Hard to believe how fast this month has almost come to an end. I know its only Saturday March 14, but wow.

So Near Yet So Far

This heart…she’s crying

Longing to do something that she usually does.

But now, she can’t do it anymore

This makes her feel awful and weep.

She wants to come out of me and just shout

“I am wounded, I am hurt!”

What makes her feel bad is that when she tells it to people around her,

They never realized what she was trying to say.

Nobody around her understands.

She’s grieving.

I can see… Continue

Job remembers

Job 29:1-25 (MSG)

1 Job now resumed his response: 2 "Oh, how I long for the good old days, when God took such very good care of me. 3 He always held a lamp before me and I walked through the dark by its light. 4 Oh, how I miss those golden years when God's friendship graced my home, 5 When the Mighty One was still by my side and my children were all around me, 6 When everything was going my way, and nothing seemed too difficult. 7 "When I walked downtown and sat with my friends in the… Continue

"I Am the Way."

"I Am the Way."

Many say that there is a trend of cooperation on the ministering of

Jesus Christ. Many are holding meetings on co-operation of religions,

praying in each religion and being partaker with them as they pray.

These are unknown gods that many are respecting, and bowing their

heads too. The Bible is against all other religions and God will not

tolerate us sharing our worship with any other false god nor idol.

wonderful world

...WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD!!!

Hey, lying in bed last Monday morning, that's what I heard... Louis Armstrong singing "What a Wonderful World".

And then I got thinking about how I was feeling..... SATISFIED!!.... I'd achieved this weekend what I'd set out to achieve. But in a way, I was starting to feel a bit lost, with nothing pressing to do. And then I got thinking again… Continue

ENFILADING

From My Perspective - - -

Those who serve their country during wartime and in battle areas know what it is to be subjected to an enemy who is relentless in enfilading. When a command is given: “Ready! Aim! Fire!” the troops respond with an enfilade. It is: “A firing in the direction of the length of a trench, or a line of parapet or troops, etc.; a raking fire; to pierce, scour, or rake with shot in the direction of the length of, as a work, or a line of troops.” Most have heard… Continue

5 Steps to our Work Being Established!

(Posted January 3, 2007 in one of my other blogs)

Working hands

I've been thinking about the word "establish". So I checked out the meaning of the word and I discovered that there were 5 elements in something being established.

1) The Planning

2) The Preparation for the future event

3) The Presentation of the finished product

4) The Pleasure others enjoy

5) The Personal Satisfaction and SUCCESS!

It Depends onYour Aim

Posted on the CNN website in response to a story on the dramatic decline of Christian faith in the U.S.:

I don't know of one Christian believer who would deny that everyone has the "right" to believe whatever they want or in nothing at all. That right comes from the exercise of free will--God given power for each individual to make their own choice. Yet, rights always come with responsibilities. When you decide to believe in things that cannot give you eternal life in the presence of… Continue

KERFUFFLING

From My Perspective - - -

Some pithy statements from years ago were: “Look before you leap!”; and, “Think before you speak!” It seems that nowadays we find far too many who keep on speaking until they can think of something to say. The result is a growing confusion and considerable disorder. Perhaps we should conclude: “There’s a whole lot of kerfuffling going on! To kerfuffle is to be part of: “a disorderly outburst or tumult; a commotion.”

An example of this is based… Continue

Bleeding Hearts

I posted the following on a newspaper (Denver Post) message board in response to a post deriding "bleeding hearts."

"Oh Lord, please let my heart bleed.

Please let my heart bleed for the cold, the hungry, the fearful.

Please Lord, let my heart bleed every minute of every day for those who are powerless, who are disadvantaged, and who are sick.

Please God, let my heart bleed for those who die by the hundreds, and thousands, and tens of thousands from… Continue
