Tin Soldiers

C.S. Lewis wrote in his book Mere Christianity of the Obstinate Tin-Soldier. I think that is one of my very favorite of all his writings. I seem to find it very easy to relate to the feeling that a tin soldier might would have when expected to willingly submit to such a life-changing transformation.

Many children often play games with their toys. More often than not children pretend that their toys are in fact real and can talk and move about…

Be ye transformed and embrace humility

Though I don’t show scripture, or the authors of all of them, they are biblical principles that we would do good if followed.

I have kept a list of 15 things which I have accumulated in my files for quite some time, when I was studying a 40 day fast: with Gregory Dickow “Effortless Change and, From the Inside Out”. And by renewing the mind you will be transformed; if you give up on these…

God the Father

"So you have not received the spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead you have received God's Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father"" Romans 8:15

Seeking Brothers in Christ to Return to God

Hi,

I was an active member of my Dad's church as a boy, even confirmed, but when my Dad and I had a major falling out I completely turned my back on God. I associated with intellectuals, athiests, agnostics. I looked down on 'belief' and adopted logic and reason as my foundation.
