God can't give what He doesn't have...

I just read a posting by a woman who has MS and has actually had people tell her that God is punishing her with it. What a horrible thing to say to another person who is already suffering so much at the hands of a disease. Let's clear something up. God doesn't have disease in Heaven where He is, so...

Can God really talk to us?

If we can talk to God, why is it so hard for people to believe that the Creator of earth and all humanity can talk to His creation? And, why is it that people who do profess that God talks to them assume that they are the only ones God talks to? In my last post, I talked about the Bible being the... Sign in to see full entry.

Is the Bible really the Word of God?

I am truly amazed by the number of people who call themselves Christians but don't really believe that the Bible is God's Word. They believe the part that says that Jesus was born and that He died on the cross for their sins and was resurrected so they will have eternal life. Admittedly, that is the...

Test of Faith

Over the past few weeks, my faith has really gone through the ringer, so to speak. Yesterday I was finally able to get free of the depression that had settled in on me. It's amazing at how clearly I can see all of what was happening now but during it I felt like I was in a fog that I couldn't seem... Sign in to see full entry.

How many of you are facing what seem to be impossible situations right now? Whether it is financial, physical or emotional situations, we are all facing something that may seem insurmountable at this moment. I know that I am. I won't go into it but there are a couple of situations in my life right... Sign in to see full entry.

Forgiveness - the reality of love!

I don't know how many of you have ever considered the fact that forgiveness is the quintessential basis for love because we all need it and we all want it when we make mistakes. According to the Bible, without forgiving, you won't be forgiven. I'm not sure of the end result of not forgiving but I do... Sign in to see full entry.

THE FATHER'S LOVE - PART TWO

I'm sorry I haven't written sooner but I've been relatively busy the past few weeks and haven't had time. And, I've been listening to the tapes I told you about the last time and they've really changed me and my whole perspective in my walk with God. I've continued to meditate on the words, "My...

GETTING DOWN TO BASICS...

I have to tell you that when I began thinking about the basics of living by faith to share with you, I planned a completely different approach than what I'm about to share. The direction changed when I began to listen to some tapes by George Pearsons (pastor of Eagle Mountain Church and Kenneth... Sign in to see full entry.

TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE AND DETERMINATION

The past few weeks have been very challenging, to say the least. I don't know how many of you out there have any clue about living by faith but one of the first things there is to know about living by faith is that there is an enemy named Satan who is very real and tries his best to dissuade anyone...

GOD'S EXISTENCE...

Is not changed by your belief or lack thereof. God does not change! The only one who is changed by your choice to believe in God or not is you. Let me give you an example. In the movie, The King and I, Anna is teaching the king's children about Switzerland and she's trying to explain what snow is.... Sign in to see full entry.
