THE COMFORTER

THE COMFORTER

There is a false comfort, a deadly comfort, that can come from alcohol, drug abuse, pornography, or other self-destructive substances, or habits, that all too often result in misery and death while at the same time promising nirvana.

We all know those who have, or are, destroying their lives because they are so disparate to find some kind of comfort in their tormented souls.

There is a true… Continue

If things get tough I love this prayer.

The Serenity Prayer goes like this --

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this… Continue

HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS

~ HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS ~

Each child of God is part of God. They possess His characteristics and nature. Each one is put into the world for a certain purpose. God's plan is spiritually embedded into each one of His children.

We (God's children) are God's hands here "in the world". The Scriptures tell us that we as God's children are to be in the world but not "of the world". It is not… Continue

Stugggling With Sin

In the book of Proverbs the Lord speaks many times of Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding of the scriptures. The reason for this is the "WORD" (Jesus) was given (by the Father) "all" power and authority in heaven, on earth and under earth. Now we know that the entire Bible has this power and authority of Christ, (the WORD).

Sin....James 1: 13 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14but each one is tempted… Continue

Ethicalernie's Sunday's Funny 3/1

Jesus is Watching You

Late one night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty.

He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say, "Jesus is watching you!"

Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again.

"Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again.

The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he… Continue

A Psalm of David. To bring to remembrance

3 There is no soundness in my flesh (our country)

Because of Your anger, nor any health in my bones (and finances)

Because of my sin (because this country has worship many gods, (dollar, Euro, Arab oil, gold. stocks etc) and idols (fame, material wealth, themselves) except you, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob)

4 For my iniquities (pride. Greed, and lust ) have gone over my head;

Like a heavy burden( losing jobs, house and investment ) they are too heavy for me.

5… Continue

A Most Criminal Cause of Poverty!!

"Much food is in the fallow ground of the poor, and for lack of justice there is waste." (Proverbs 13:23, NKJ)

One of the most criminal causes for poverty is exploitation! I received a letter from a friend who's been doing missionary work in Africa. He recently visited Tanzania. I was shocked when I learned this that he wrote:

"Tanzania, listed as one of the poorest countries in the world, may well be in dollars per capita, but in vegetation, produce, water, gold… Continue

Don't Waste the Recession

Don't Waste the Recession.

There is much good to be found in the recession, if you look in the right places. Our consumer society and economy had overheated as Americans and citizens of other developed countries craved more and more consumer goods--material objects that are purchased, used, and are eventually relegated to storage or a landfill. The hunger for an increasing amount of consumer goods led many to live beyond--well beyond--their means, often using expensive credit--money… Continue

My Ponderings about Wealth and Poverty.

I've been pondering about wealth and poverty. I seem to do that a lot.

Why are some people rich? Why are some people poor?

The Bible says that they have ONE thing in common...

So, if it is the Lord who has made some to be poor and some to be rich, why then should we try to change our financial state. Shouldn't we say that this is the Lord's will for me to be rich/poor? Why should we help those who are poorer… Continue

Ask God To Explain It

Do you ask God for answers to all your questions? Maybe you are one of a large number who suppress some of their questions, hoping that God won't notice they are wondering. This might happen to you when you have a question about the meaning of a scripture. Often, people think that God expects them to simply understand what is written since, after all, they are a child of God; therefore, they should not have trouble making sense of His Holy Word, right? When this happens, it's time to tell… Continue

Can you hear the party in heaven???

The angels are having a party tonight!!

Our prodigal niece has come home!!!

She left a few months ago. She didn't want to have anything to do with us or God anymore. But guess what???

He had other ideas!! He is like a hound dog!! He hounded her. He wouldn't give her any peace. And, when she was stoned, she'd hear Him talking to her... "K, come back to Me!!" This happened every time she got stoned.

And He allowed the evil spirits to have a hay-day with… Continue

Citaten van C.S. Lewis - Nederlandstalig

Citaten van C.S. Lewis – Het Leven

“Je zult nooit weten hoe sterk je in iets gelooft tot het een kwestie van leven en dood is.” “Als je denkt dat deze wereld een plaats is die simpelweg voor ons geluk is bedoeld, dan zul je deze vrij onverdraaglijk vinden: als je de wereld beschouwt als een plaats waar je opgeleid en gecorrigeerd wordt dan ziet het er niet zo slecht uit.” – God in the Dock (Engelstalig)

God is LOVE

Hello everyone: God is love! He gave everything He had just for us! He taught us how to truly love and he still leaves us an option to either love Him back or not. But He still loves us no matter what we choose. I chose to love Him and give to Him everything of mine for His divine purposes that others may see Christ in me! Surrender is the most wonderful, freeing experience in the world! May God bless all of you and may you experience all the love God freely gives to you! In His Love and Care,… Continue

How I Study a Bible Passage (2)

The FIRST step is DISSECTING (as I showed in the previous post).

The SECOND step is UNDERSTANDING what is writen.

These are the things I look at and ask, in no particular order:

** THE CONTEXT - What comes before and what comes after?

** CROSS REFERENCES - What do other parts of the Bible say about this? The Bible is a progressive book of God's revelation, so the later revelations generally come later in the… Continue
