All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

All Blog Posts (11,262)

I used to be like this before, but I let go.... and now I am free !!!

Throughout the Old and New Testaments, the authors of Scripture use the images of a father and his child, a husband and his wife, and a friend and his companion to describe the relationship between God and his people.

According to Genesis 1 and 2, when God created the first human being, Adam, God breathed into him the breath of life (Genesis 2:7). In a very profound sense, Adam was a son of God (see Luke 3:38). In Jesus' parable of the prodigal… Continue

Be Inspired: Team Hoyt Story

I have watched this clip several times and I cannot stop being inspired everytime I view the same again and again. It's a concrete demonstration of a father's love to his son. In my deep thoughts, I realize how God's love is being manifested to mankind. God offers a love more than our earthly father could give. God's desire is to lavish His unconditional love to anyone. A love that is beyond all measures. A love that is endless. A steadfast love. For God so loved the world that He gave His only… Continue

The holidays . . . no more rucksacks

THE HOLIDAYS. . . no more rucksacks

I love this time of year. Some people get really stressed out by the holidays—not me—heck, I’ve been playing Christmas music since the day after Halloween. The only thing is, when Thanksgiving Day gets here, it goes so fast! When Christmas Day finally gets here, it is over far too quickly for me. I’ve been thinking that maybe both of those are so because I don’t really prepare my heart all that well in advance.

I should like to give Christ a… Continue

JUST A REMINDER.....KEEP WATCH...

Matthew 24:42-44
(42) "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. (43) But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. (44) So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

COMMANDING DEMONS TO STAND DOWN TO PROPERLY WITNESS TO SOMEONE....

Commanding Demons to Stand Down

So You Can Properly Witness to Someone

As we have said over and over in many of our articles, the number one thing that we as Christians

should be doing for the Lord is to lead as many souls as we possibly can into eternal salvation through Jesus Christ. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is greater and more important than leading a lost soul into the saving grace of our Lord and Savor Jesus Christ.

In this article I want to give you a… Continue

What is in the center of the Bible?

Even if you are not religious this is amazing how the Bible is working.

The shortest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 117

The longest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 119

The capter in the middle of the Bible is Psalm 118

Way Of The Master

I have a book called the The School of Biblical Evangelism, published by Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron. I love Ray's stories about sharing the gospel and his wittiness.

Love, and the Traveling Pants ~ 1 Thessalonians 4.9-10

Love, and the Traveling Pants

9Now about brotherly love we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. 10And in fact, you do love all the brothers throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers, to do so more and more. 1 Thessalonians 4.9-10

Good Morning.

There are so many ideas about love, aren’t there? The Greek word for love Paul uses here speaks of brotherly love, of kinship. It appears that the Thessalonians had… Continue

Don't Give Up!

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Galatians 6:9

Various thoughts run through our minds every day—some good, some bad. Our natural temptation is to focus on the bad, so accepting them doesn’t take any effort. The effort comes in being determined to take a firm hold of the positive ones, while letting go of the negative.

Positive minds are full of faith and hope, and they produce positive… Continue

My Mother

It has been awhile since I posted anything. Last Thursday my mother passed away. She went to be with the Lord while she slept. The funeral was Saturday. I have waves of emotion that run over me like I have never felt before. When my cousin died in 2002 I didn't feel this way. When my dad died of cancer in 2006 I didn't feel this way. I knew losing my mom would be hard but I never realized it would be this hard.

Last Friday I was listening to some Chris Tomlin songs. I felt I was… Continue
