The Measure of Love

People all over the world struggle to understand love. Christians struggle with their understanding of love too. Currently, the statistics for divorce are actually greater (higher) for those who claim to be Christians now, than for those who do not. Divorce is not the only statistic that suggests people struggle with this issue either. I meet and talk with many people that do not believe they are loved or can have love. Some feel they move in and out of it at times… Continue

You're All That I Long

This time with You Father, is all that I long.

sometimes loving others, things seem to go wrong.

But when I am with You, You show me the way,

You give me the strength to go one more day.

These moments with You restore me with Your genuine love,

and again I am able to accept those whom yell, push, and shove. …

Sacrifice

Love I've learned comes with a price,

a life of nothing less than sacrifice.

So much I thought I'd have by now,

I've given to those in need somehow.

For to hold on to something someone needs,

this selflessness inside exceeds.

To God, my children, family, and friends, do I give, …

Love and Obedience

I hope that you will look with me at a short study of the word obedience, maybe a little closer than ever, depending on how much some have studied.

"if you love God, you will obey Him",... and on the latter,... I do agree. I have used Gods' teachings concerning love to argue the case for it's… Continue

Hearts Ring

Laugh and sing, let the joy in your hearts ring,

For The Creator of man, has given us A King.

He has made right for us, all that was wrong,

so, reach out to one another, let love be our song.

Let go now your hearts, to love even stronger,

to bring His return so we'll not wait any longer.

Go… Continue

The Heart Cry

"Is it true the heart doth cry".

"I hope it is" said dry eye.

"I often hear it's desperate plea",

was the response from bended knee.

Again. the mind surprised by this,

"what cause has brought such amiss".

And then the lips said "hold on there, …

Heterodoxy

In the New Testament, Paul once took the Greek word translated "to teach" (didaskalia) and added the word heteros, which means "of a different kind." The English word heterodoxy means something that is the opposite of orthodoxy. The combination of those two Greek words refered to teaching heresy. I know most of you are aware that, not everyone that talks about God is serving Him nor His people's best interests. We have many warnings about deceivers entering the… Continue
