Pray is necessary for our lives to be connected with God, however I agree with Charles Spurgeon, that necessity and prayer do not really go together. If prayer is a necessity for you, maybe some reevaluation needs to happen. In an excerpt from Charles Spurgeon’s Lectures To My Students he speaks about prayer, and ourContinue reading “Necessity of Prayer”

This season is confusing to a lot of people. Society is pushing us into Christmas. Many are doing 12 days of Christmas promotions now, and this does not help the confusion. The 12 days of Christmas actually begin Christmas Day and goes for the 12 days after leading up to Epiphany, the visit of theContinue reading “Joy”
What is it that drives you?
What keeps us going in life? There are so many things that could drag us down and make us just despise life and run away and hide. What is it that keeps you going through the stuff of life that we all wish would just go away? It is interesting to think about this forContinue reading “What is it that drives you?”
Have we forgotten our first love?
Revelation chapter 2 starts the writings to the 7 churches and it starts with the church in Ephesus. Oh to be like one in Ephesus. The report sounds so good. “I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance.” We are working for the lord and enduring through what seems to be an endlessContinue reading “Have we forgotten our first love?”
Is religion a smoke screen…
Did you ever think we could have to much religion? Usually as “Christians” we are concerned that people have too little religion. That they are not following God and doing what he is leading them to. However is it possible for us to have too much religion? Paul talks about this in 1 Corinthians: 13:1Continue reading “Is religion a smoke screen…”

We have to bend to the whims of the retailersContinue reading “Waiting for redemption… Waiting for Christ”

BecauseContinue reading “Mushroom eater”

Boot Straps…
As I put on my boots this morning I realized something… If you have never worn cowboy boots it may not be evedent and it took me about 3 weeks to realize that boots are like our relationship to God… You see I can put on tennis shoes, or dress shoes or any other shoeContinue reading “Boot Straps…”
Creed ~ Why are we slow to speak?
In my devotional on Tuesday morning, I read an excerpt from This We Believe by John A Ross. He speaks about standing shoulder to shoulder with brothers and sisters in the faith proclaiming the words of the Apostles’ Creed, and how he is moved very deeply within his soul. I have to admit there isContinue reading “Creed ~ Why are we slow to speak?”
