A word was given last night from a friend of a friend.  He stated to be purposeful with your time - this stemming from a bible discussion on James 4. James 4:14 "...What is your life?  You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes."  He stated to be purposeful with your relationships or they will not happen.  This is a quote taken from a friends wife who's husband has been

Renewing my mind will not come from my will power to change.  It will not come by my will power to be able to hold on to God's decree's and precepts, and apply these to my life.  I've tried....and I've failed.  Until I am able to see my God as the God He is and until my love for Him is true then I will not be able to conform to his likeness. My transformation will come from my love and desire to

Is any of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and

I use to think it glamorous to be the lone wolf, the tough guy, hard as a shell with an exterior and interior that nothing could penetrate. Nothing ever got the best of me cause I wouldn't allow my emotions to be at a point of susceptibility. Even if they were and got hurt I wouldn't let anyone know. I wanted to be a man's man, I could party with the best, get some of the girls, play sports and

If the bible says No temptation has siezed you except what is common to man (1Corinthians 10:13) why do we act like what we are going through is so different and that no one can relate? This can lead to thinking we have to do it on our own, pride, a hard heart - thinking no one understands or has felt what I feel, isolation and there you are! Right where the enemy wants you. :)

Isaiah 28:16: So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the on who trusts will never be dismayed..."Life Application Study Bible commentary states "If you're building anything , you need a firm base.

In my Life Application Study Bible the commentary for 1Samuel 14:35,36 states "After being king for several years, Saul finally built his first altar to God, but only as a last resort. Throughout Saul's reign he consistently approached God only after he had tried everything else. This was in sharp contrast to the priest, who suggested that God be consulted first. How much better if Saul had gone

Matthew 16:15-19:"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.

In reading 1Peter3:13-16 today I came across the part "...do not fear what they fear..." and my mind flashed across my current status in life. In this quick reflection I, one, gave thanks to God and two, gave thanks again. :) I thought about "what if I lost my job because of my beliefs" and I think how God has set me up where I do not have to fear this. I don't want to lose my job by any means as

This question was taken from a small group bible study book by Neil T. Anderson called Freedom in Christ.1. Think of someone you know who is not yet a Christian. What does the bible say about why he or she does not yet believe (see Romans 10:14-15; 2 Corinthians 4:4)?

In reading Revelation 12 this morning verse 7 & 8 brought back memories of my grandfather's funeral. I was recently saved and fervently praying for my grandfather who was diagnosed with cancer, a short time period to live and was not saved. A few months later I would fly home to attend his funeral. The day had been sunny and nice until my Uncle finished delivering the eulogy. We stood up,

So I hated life, because all the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have control over all the work into which I have poured my effort and skill under

Hosea 11:1-4: When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. But the more I called Israel, the further they went from me. They sacrificed to the Baals and they burned incense to images. It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the arms; but they did not realize it was I who healed them.

In my reading today I was focused on Hosea 10:1-10. After reading the scripture I read the "Daily Bread" commentary and this stuck out..."It had been a long time since a good and wise king ruled over Israel, and that appears to have fostered their dependence on foreign gods..." This struck me and made me reflect on my walk. The devotional goes on to say about Hosea 10:1-10:"It had been a long

A saint's life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer.

In reading this morning I came across this scripture:Revelation 12:11 "They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death."What struck me was the word "death".

Seeing Adversity The Right WayAnytime God is about to take you to a new level you’re going to face opposition. There will be new battles to fight and new obstacles to overcome. It’s easy to get discouraged and think, “Why is this happening?” But we have to change our thinking and focus on the fact that on the other side of those challenges is a new level of victory—a new level of success.

Reading an article by James McDonald called "Facing Uncertainty" he talks about Matthew 8:23-27:Then He got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke Him, saying, "Lord, save us!

We are like Adam. God had created Adam in His own likeness and image. Then Satan came along and told Adam, "If you'll do this, you will be like God." Adam already was like God, but he fell because he simply did not believe it. In the same way, we have been made righteous in Jesus. The tempter says to us, "If you will do this, it will make you become like Jesus." We are like Jesus already; yet we

Speaking of caves:Elijah shows up out of nowhere in 1Kings 17 to tell Ahab, the king of Israel, "As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word."

In reading the book If You Want to Walk on Water You've Got to Get Out of the Boat at the end of chapter 4 one of the questions read "Never try to have more faith. Instead, just get to know God better." It then went on to ask "How would you describe your faith these days? What might help you get to know God better?"

Psalm 5:1-31Give ear to my words, O lord, consider my sighing. 2Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God,for to you I pray.3In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice;in the morning I lay my requests before,youand wait in expectation.

Reading more about the conscience from Dr. Stanley's website, http://www.intouch.org/, I came across this and thought it was very good. I never really thought about the benefits of a good conscience in this way.How does a good conscience help you on a daily basis?1. You have courage.- No matter what hardships and difficulties you face, you have confidence that you acted in the right manner.2. You

I have been thinking of this scripture and did not know were to find it until I called my friend. He told me where it was, if I would have kept reading Romans, as I am currently doing, I would have run in to it.Romans 7:15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. Paul said this? WOW! Again, if you wrote over half of the New Testament you had to be

I arrived at work, quickly prayed and asked for God to show what He would like me to write about. I asked for something to take home with me, something for this blog, some way that He would speak to me, anything really, I just wanted to hear from him, I wanted to be encouraged.So, here is what He showed me...For the Blog:Galatians 5:4 You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated

The Law...Romans 2:12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart for the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for

Looking for scripture pertaining to a "Guilty Conscience" last night I was lead to Exodus and Acts and what I found was very interesting.Exodus 2:11-12 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and

The above image is referenced from Strong's Concordance I got from the http://www.blueletterbible.org/ website.The word kyrieuo is Greek for Dominion. In reading Romans 6 this morning I came across this passage:Romans6:9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him." This is the NIV translation and the KJV translation is as

Romans 6:20-23(NIV)When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the contol of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of

It was one of those days and started as soon as I rolled out of bed, I was an extreme grump. I could feel it, I knew it and I would not let myself get out of it. Everything that was said to me I barked at, not giving time to understand or even think before lashing out. So as I lay on the couch, watching the U.S Open tennis finals at my girlfriends parents, trying to provide some warmth and

In reading an article by Charles Stanley called "Goals - Biblical or Not" I came across this scripture - Proverbs 21:5 "The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty". I looked up the meaning of haste and hasten in The American Century Dictionary:haste - urgency of movement or action; excessive hurry. Make haste, hurry; be quickhasten - bring about soonerSo what

Genesis 15:1-6God's Covenant With Abram1 After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward." 2 But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?" 3 And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household
