God, Me & the Zone

I find myself more and more wanting to play Guitar Hero. The truth is, I find that when I’m playing and I let go of all the distractions around me, I get zoned. Really though, it feels like a gift from God playing through my fingers and into the rhythm on the sound. I’m not play the game anymore… I’m experiencing relationship time with God.

A Lesson of Dew'ing

Today my son asked me for something to drink. His usual request would be for me to give him something like flavored water but, we were out. So I said, “You can have a bit of my Mountain Dew.” He said ok. I grabbed the bottle and poured some in his cup. He drank a little and said, “mmm - Dad? Can my brother have a cup of it too?” I replied, “Why don’t you just...

Is your faith as fruitless as that ol’ fig tree Jesus came up to? ( James 2:15-17 ) Do you wonder of those who say “I’ll pray for you” how many were actually in the position to help you? ( 1 John 3:16-18 ) Do you consider the Bible your lifeline? What if it was suddenly outlawed? Is the Word of God also written on the tablet of your heart? ( 2 Corinthians 3:3 ) Is...

Great Examples of Faith

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation. By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen. Examples: Abel’s offering to God; Enoch was taken up to...

Random Outburst: #101

Some churches like to scare their members about robbing God ( Malachi 3:10 ) Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. “But you ask, ‘How do we rob you?’ “In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse, the whole nation of you, because you are robbing me. And yet their leaders ignore their own violations against God?

In this economic downturn, let’s remember now what happened when during the days of Nehemiah a famine came over their land: “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards and our homes to get grain during the famine.” Still others were saying, “We have had to borrow money to pay the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards.

Go Forward, Don't Look Back

“Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!” Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the LORD out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. But Lot’s wife...

Walking With Psalm 109

But you, O Sovereign LORD, deal well with me for your name’s sake; out of the goodness of your love, deliver me. For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. I fade away like an evening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust. My knees give way from fasting; my body is thin and gaunt. I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads. (Psalm...

We Forgive You, However...

Religion says “we forgive you” but there must be a consequence. You can’t just walk away repentive… you must be punished. What religious people fail to comprehend is that sin carries with it its own consequence of guilt, shame and self-destruction. No human persecution could ever be greater. To do so would only result in further isolation from their reconciliation to God. Unfortunately, many...
