Life
Discussions of LIFE – as in living life to the fullest. But also LIFE as in purpose, meaning, wisdom, and understanding. This category is all about things that interest me in LIFE.
Guard Your Heart!
“In the best utopia, I must be prepared for the moral fall of any man in any position at any moment; especially for my fall from my position at this moment.” Chesterton on Orthodoxy Be careful when you stand, lest you fall. (1 Corinthians 10:12) Guard your heart for from it flow the issues […]
Gratitude
Living thankful lives doesn’t come natural. Gratuitous living and giving is not easily found or attained. There’s very little “thank you” in the world. As a matter of fact it seems that a spirit of entitlement is increasingly more prevalent. Raising children, we find that gratitude must be taught. All Moms and Dads know this. […]
Import Before Export
I love taking pictures. It’s fun sharing them via a couple of applications. But before I can share them (export) I must first import something worthy of showing. This is true for life. Before I have anything to say, or anything to “display” there must first be something of significance and truth in me. Before […]
Are You Living on the Other Side of the BUT …?
Three friends of mine, whom I’ve mentioned in the past, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, found themselves facing quite a predicament one afternoon. They faced a situation where they could do what God had said to do, or they could do what man had said to do. But they couldn’t do both. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego […]
Is Abortion Murder?
I know I have made my opinion known on the topic of abortion within this blog in past posts, however, some topics are important enough, worth enough, to be revisited again and again. January 22nd is the anniversary of the 1973 Roe Vs. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion as a “Constitutional” right […]
Choose You, This Day
Psalm 119:147-149 (NASB) 147 I rise before dawn and cry for help; I wait for Your words. 148 My eyes anticipate the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word. 149 Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; Revive me, O Lord, according to Your ordinances. There is a God-prescribed path to Life (living […]
Help With Adoption
Have you ever seen those infomercials about helping children out in disadvantaged portions of the world? You know the ones with Sally Struthers or some other famous person championing the need and telling how you can help? They usually champion organizations like the Christian Children’s Fund asking you to change the life of a child. […]
What Is Truth?
In John 18:38 Pilate asked the question of Jesus “What is truth?” Dr. Del Tackett has referred to this as one of the most important questions of all time in The Truth Project. Ravi Zacharias has called it the most tragic question of all time in that it was asked of the purveyor of Truth […]
Are You In the Midst of Despair?
Here we sit on the eve of a New Year. 2017 is about to pass into the annuals of time and 2018 is about to arrive with all of its mystery, and fear, and excitement. I don’t know what the New Year may hold for you, I don’t even know what the New Year holds […]
Do You Know The Name Above All Names?
On January 6th, 2017 Hillsong Worship brought us the song What A Beautiful Name it Is. In my estimation, this song is the full embodiment of Philippians 2:8-11 which says: “8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath […]
