How do I become a mature Christian and how long does it take?

It will take at least as long as it will take for you to realize that this question is unanswerable. A mature Christian is one who exercises godly wisdom and does not become disillusioned by the things that people do, but, rather, stays focused on Christ.

A mature Christian is one who realizes the vast amounts that he does not yet know. Many people develop spiritual pride and think they know more than the average Christ-follower. These people are not mature! This old saying is very… Continue

Something only I'd find interesting...

So I made a decision to praise Him during difficult times. In my immaturity and pride I've taken much too long to come to this decision. I pray fervently that He gives me the strength and diligence to be a true man of God.

Please pray for my focus to remain ever on Him. That I would see with His eyes and love with His heart. That I would be uncompromising in my pursuit of Him and defiant in remaining pure. That I would find my self-worth and satisfaction in Him and Him alone. This is… Continue

THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL!!

The Greatest Love of all:

The greatest love of all; on a cross-, came to call He was to pay for our sins; rich or poor; one and all Oh how noble is He,

that He would choose to die for me Bring my soul into Heaven with God; victoriously.

I praise Him; who could love more than Jesus? Not a soul living or dead could ever have saved us.

Oh; He walked the old road with a beam upon… Continue

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT?

What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit?

A Spirit filled life is a Spirit controlled life. There is a reason why we are not experiencing a Spirit filled life. That reason is that we haven't developed a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Let us look at the Scripture to get some insight about Him, so we can begin to build that relationship with Him, then we will be more willing to turn the control of our lives over to… Continue

Stress

There’s something that I would like to share with you; the more I meet people, the more I notice this problem in them (stress). One definition of Stress is: physical, mental, or emotional tension.

We all have experienced the symptoms of stress. Sometimes we choose to ignore them, and sometimes we do something about them. Here’s something that most of us have not even given a thought to. You might know it or you might not, but for those of you that don’t… pay attention to this; Stress can… Continue

Fear

Have you ever thought about why there is so much fear in life?

If you have, you’re not alone. This is a very relevant question in every society, because every one of us has felt fear at some point in our lives. The question is, why? I believe that it starts when we are little kids. I had the opportunity to see one of my nephews grow up. I remember paying close attention to what he feared the most. Surprisingly, the kid was not afraid of anything, until the parents and siblings started to… Continue

CLEANING HOUSE FOR 2009

Last Week I threw out worrying, it was getting old and in the way.

It kept me from being me; I couldn't do things God's way.

I threw out a book on MY PAST

(Didn't have time to read it anyway)..

Replaced it with NEW GOALS, started reading it today.

I threw out hate and bad memories,

(Remember how I treasured them so)?

Got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY too, threw out the… Continue

SET APART FOR GOD'S SPECIAL PURPOSE

SET APART FOR GOD'S SPECIAL PURPOSE

In the book of Leviticus chapter eight we see Moses preparing Aaron and his sons to become priests of the Lord. Moses called them forth, washed them, he clothed them in linen robes, then He added to each one a belt, a turban on their head, and then anointed them with a special oil. Fully clothed in their priestly garments designed by God, Moses sets them apart for the special purpose as… Continue

Homosexuality vs Heterosexuality and Heterosexuality vs Homosexuality

Homosexuality is for some people; but it's not for you. A lot of men are homosexuals; but that's because they wear it well; but you do not and cannot. They are comfortable with it, but you are not. To say that homosexuality is not a thing for you is not to say that people who do it should not do it; that's between then and their god.

All homosexuals do not worship are believe in the same god. The God that you worship says it's not OK for you to be a homosexual plus you don't see it… Continue

WooHoo!! Blogging is SO Much Easier....

... I just found out there is such a thing as offline blog editors. I've just downloaded one called BlogDesk, and I'm using to to write this post.

They say that it saves time and it is much easier to use. So if you're a keen blogger, why not give it a spin.

One catch though...

BlogDesk is only compatible with Windows. But my guess is that there would be something suitable out there for Macs.

Anyhow, here's the link ...…

She is Quite Some Lady!!

(Another from the achives... study in Proverbs...)

Wisdom, that is!! Proverbs depicts Wisdom as being a lady, compared to the harlot called Folly.

Here are her credentials:

Her companion is Understanding, and they both call out to the simple and the foolish ones.
What she says is excellent, right, true and just, and to those who understand it is VERY plain, and to those who find knowledge it is right.
You may have the choicest of gold and…

Laughter!!!

When was the last time you had a real good laugh? Was it because some one told you a good joke? Was it because of a comedy movie, or was it a comedian you saw on television? Was it something your three year old kid did?

It has been proven by doctors and psychologists that a good dose of laughter a day helps you stay healthy. Somehow laughter helps you release some of the tension of a stressful day, and it also keeps you in a positive attitude.

It’s 2:17am, and I’m laughing at the fact… Continue

Aging

Remember when you were 14 years old and wished you were 16, so that you could get your permit to drive! How about when you were 18 and couldn’t wait till you turned 21. Then all of a sudden, the years started going so fast that you wished that you could slow them down.

It’s so amazing how this affects a lot of people. The young want to get old, and the old want to be young again. This might sound crazy to you but it is true! Try telling a young kid that he/she looks young, you’ll offend… Continue

WISDOM is all about CHOICES!!

(More from my Proverbs archives...)

Wisdom is the knowledge and ability to make the RIGHT choices at the RIGHT time.

That's what I read in my Vines Bible Dictionary. (Not exactly in those words, but those were the thoughts.)

And as I see it, the whole book of Proverbs IS a description of what wisdom is. It shows us how to make those right choices. It's about how to direct this free will that God has given us. If we didn't have a free will, we wouldn't… Continue

The Truth and Facing the Truth

The Truth

and

Facing the Truth

The truth is God's Words; Jesus said "God's Word is Truth"; and jesus sid "The Word that I speak to you are Truth". Also Jesus Christ is the Truth. The truth is not the lie; and the truth is no lie. The bible tells us that God cannot lie and it tells us that the devil is the father of lies. the bible also talks about people who only appear to be in sheep's' clothing, but inside they are ravenous wolves; in other words, these kinds of people… Continue
