“Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will...
Grace At Work
Trust in God takes time in each life. We each grow at a different pace, but the Holy Spirit is patient and is constantly working with us. When we pray, it is the Holy Spirit that calls us. Distractions are not a problem that many people make of them. Some days prayer is easy...
Deseradar himself tried going out from the home in the afternoon. There has been sun shining all this day. No one else was seen outside. There were just a very few steps he could take where the ground was solid enough. All the area around there was otherwise too muddy and not drying out yet in...
“For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have fully...
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by...

Deuteronomy 6:4-6
4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!
5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
6 “And these words which I command...
Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; 6 but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.
7 Therefore, just as the Holy...
In response to what I'd have to describe as a person locked in on prospering materially as a Christian (although to be fair, spiritually as well), I pointed out 1 Timothy 6:8 (bolded here):
6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is...
"[6] Then he said to me, This [addition of the bowl to the candlestick, causing it to yield a ceaseless supply of oil from the olive trees] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of Whom the oil is a symbol], says the Lord of hosts." (Zech...
“Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid...
Being president is supposed to a a serious job. However, the US has a president now who posts like a 13 y.o. boy.
Recently there was this childish response to criticism by Bruce Springsteen:
Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign...
There is much strife within Christianity, with many bullying others into following their way. Is there a solution? How does one transition from flesh to spirit? Stop serving ourselves and serve God and each other as commanded. A simple start is to be polite and helpful to all in need (inside...
Ever go to a mall to find a hundred stores owned by the same company putting different names on the same product to give the impression of choice? How is religion different? Perhaps the personality seeks that which suits itself to avoid further seeking or change. It's like clothing. Instead of...
Zeal for the Word,
Our souls bought first,
So that when pages turn,
bright margins appear.
There, context explains
God’s fresh notes of faith.
Remembering the Word,
How life from it burns,
Shows roads from the past,
For each pilgrim’s progress.*
Such templates make knees
To touch floors...
“..God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before...
“I will stand on my guard post
And station myself on the rampart;
And I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me,
And how I may reply when I am reproved.
Then the Lord answered me and said,
‘Record the vision
And inscribe it on tablets,
That the one who reads it may run.
For the vision is...
