Throne Of Grace Full Of Mercy

As born again Christian's we have been given the humble privilege to come before a Throne Of Grace and make our requests know to God. Thank God that Throne is not a Throne of Judgement, but a Throne Of Grace full of mercy.

Let's Seek The God Of Compassion

There are many that see God as this Holy Righteous God of judgement. God is Holy, Righteous and a God of judgment, however God is also a God of love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion. When God sent Jesus to die on the cross for the sins of the world, God made a way for us to receive forgiveness. When we except the fact that Christ died on the cross for our sins and that through Christ we have forgiveness of sins, we start to understand and see that God is a God of love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion. Now that's good news!

Let us seek the God of compassion.

Are You Hungry or Thirsty?

Recently, my wife asked me a very profound question which, honestly, I completely misunderstood at first. She asked what does Jesus find interesting about her (or anyone else for that matter). Wrongly so, I proceeded to give what I felt were biblical answers. After creating an emotional firestorm of anger because I did not understand her, the Holy Spirit stopped me dead in my tracks.

Later that evening, before bed, I was led to John' s gospel account the 3rd chapter. I encourage you to read through this book in its entirety. God revealed to us ultimately that JESUS spends a great deal of time with those who are THIRSTY or HUNGRY. Jesus promises that the water he offers will never leave you thirsty.

The thought to take away from this is that while the message of Christ, the Gospel, has a UNIVERSAL interest...it is the hungry and thirsty for whom Jesus takes a PERSONAL interest in.

Pure River, Water, Life, Clear As Crystal

The book of Revelations is a wonderful book filled with the revelations that John received from God. It is an intense book of the Bible, however, fun to study. Just performing a word study around certain words in the book is very exciting. Here's a great scripture to ponder:

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

Read Revelation Chapter 22 and be blessed.

Home Made Chocolate Chip Cookies & Kids

Our daughter loves sweets, as do most children. My wife loves chocolate chip cookies and milk. Every once in a while the two of them make home made chocolate chip cookies which is a blast to see. You see, our five year old, well she has arrived. She has her mothers independence, her mother's I know it all attitude and to watch the two of them baking together is funny. As I'm writing this, I'm reminded of the Ginger Bread cookies with all the dressings that were as hard as cement after they came out of the oven. Thank God the chocolate chip cookies don't turn out that way. It's fun to spend quality time with the kids cooking cookies and then sitting around with them watching them dip them into milk.

Blessings are found in the simplest things that make a huge difference in the life of a child.

The "What" vs. The "Why"

In life, it is important not only to know WHAT you believe, but WHY you believe it in the first place. This concept could not be more crucial for the Christian. The idea that ACTIONS speak louder than words is demonstrated throughtout Scripture. Why else would James (half-brother of Christ) declare for us to be DOERS of the Word and not just hearers?

Here is a thought to keep in mind:

- The WHAT focuses inward, while the WHY focuses outward
- The WHAT is selfish, while the WHY is selfless

A time must come in the Christian walk, where one moves from the WHAT to the WHY. The Apostle Paul points out that young Christians drink milk and the mature eat the meat. What's that mean? It means that the Holy Spirit of God must be allowed to transform and transition you towards a direction of spiritual maturity and intimacy with Him!

In the words of Paul to Timothy: STUDY to show yourself approved unto God!

Drinking, Driving & The Consequences

I can remember as a child my dad and uncles drinking beer while driving. The old brown paper bag days. Of course back them if you got pulled over, they basically made you dump it out and didn't hassle you as long as you were not drunk. Times have changed.

These days if you get caught with a open container, the consequences are severe. You can loose your drivers license, get your car impounded and get taken to the pokie. If your drunk, things get even worse. Then there's fines, increased auto insurance rates, the embarrasement of the ordeal, court and other situations. Bottom line, don't drink and drive.

Yet if you think about it, who would want to drink and drive? You place your life in danger, the lives of those in your car and other motorists in danger. It just makes no sense to risk so much. Please, don't drink and drive.

Remember, there's nothing more precious than life.

The Importance of Remembrance

Why did God give us the Bible? Was it to waste our time? Did He do this because He had nothing better to do? The answer to both questions is a resounding NO! The Lord passed on to us the Scriptures so that we know and REMEMBER who He is and what He has done and continues to do today.

Check this out:
- Remember appears 148 times in the KJV Bible
- Remember appears 167 times in the NIV Bible

Based on these numbers, God must mark remembering pretty high on His list!

Remembrance is an issue for us because we are clouded by the things which cause our focus to turn from the living God to ourselves. We often develop a “selective” memory when trials and trouble come to our doorstep.

God has blessed many of us with good memory and we are expected to use it responsibly! He expects us to know and remember the GOOD in all that happens. What better way to train that brain of ours than getting deep into His Word, the Bible.

Lastly, in order for any memories to have a lasting effect, they must enter your heart! King David, in the Psalms, says that he has hid God’s word in his heart to NOT sin against Him.

Work on this now as tribulations wait for no man!

An Hour A Day Brings Knowledge

Do you like learning about things? They say that knowledge is powerful when applied properly. From experience over the many years of my life, I have found that my pursuit in learning about simple things like auto mechanics, writing, graphic designs and the Internet has helped me many times and saved me lots of money.

Just imagine if you picked a subject or topic and Googled it every day and read about it for one hour each day. One year later, you would have 356 hours of studies around that one topic. Maybe you could pick something that has to do with your career, your family, raising children, or about art or painting. Just imagine all the knowledge and information you would gain. Now just think of something dear to you or interesting and go for it.

It's fun to Google different subjects.

The Fruit Of Love

It is written that love is the greatest of all gifts, that it covers a multitude of sins, and overcomes all things. Love is an expression of the heart. It is filled with compassion, mercy and overflowing kindness. Love is like a medicine that calms people, that makes them feel secure, loved and appreciated.

Fill your home with love and watch the fruits of love come forth.

Following The Dreams Of Others

It's good to follow others. We all sometimes need leadership. It's also good to be a part of a good cause, movement or something that has worth to it. However, if we get stuck in the habit of following others and their dreams, we just might fall short in pursing the very dreams and call of the Lord in our own lives. Sometimes God calls us to follow others and their dreams. However, many times the Lord after seasons of preparation will call us to follow the very dreams that He has imparted to us. Has God birthed something deep with you?

May God according to His Will breath life into the very dreams that He has given you.

When Fear Grips One's Life

Fear can cripple a person and become a controlling factor in their life. Of course there is natural fear that we all occasionally encounter. However, when fear starts to become a controlling factor in one's life as a stronghold, there's something wrong.

There is a scripture that basically states "you have not been given a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind". Note the word spirit. You see sometimes overwhelming strongholds of fear are exactly that. A spirit. A evil, wicked and unclean spirit that has rooted deeply within a person. When this happens it requires deliverance to be set free of that spirit. It requires the help of God.

If you are finding your life being controlled by un natural fear, contact a local church and talk with someone. They can help you. They will be able to counsel you, give you scriptural advice, pray for you and God can use them to set you free.

Blessings, and may the peace of God rain in your life

Drink Deep, The Goodness Of God

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Blessings and drink deep, the goodness of God.

Prayer Call

Take a moment and pray for the children of the world. There are so many hurting children in our world. The fatherless, the orphans, the motherless, those that are hungry, the homeless and lost. Please take a moment and pray for them and please consider supporting a ministry or organization that assists and blesses the children of the world.

Blessings, in the love of God

When Things Start Becoming Difficult

Have you ever been there. Watching something unfold that was not suppose to happen. Sometimes our inability to listen and stubbornness brings forth the complete opposite of what God had planned. Other times we become surrounded by others that make so much noise that when God speaks we can't hear and don't listen.

The outcomes can be either blessings or curses, and sometimes seasons of time to change course that are like walking up a steep hill.

We should never quench God's Spirit, hinder His plans and purposes or turn our ears to His Words.

A Word Of Encouragement

I just want to encourage you that in these times of financial hardships that God still loves you, and cares for you. Many times when things around us seem un certain, we can wonder where God is in the midst of things. Well God is still seated on the throne and His love for us has not changed. He will not leave, or forsake us. You see God is never changing. The seasons of life may change, but God does not.

Dangerous Emotional Characteristics

Anger rages like a fire. It is destructive and can start major life fires. For the angry man or woman that daily deals with anger, frustrations gone wild and bitterness. These things wage war on their lives and the lives of others around them. Fires get started, fired that devour. When anger gets out of control and starts becoming deeply rooted it takes a persons character over. If un checked or dealt with, it also affects that persons health. Anger is simply not healthy fruit.

Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

Anger is not a fruit of God's Spirit.

Being Filled Through The Power Of The Spirit

Joy In The Holy Ghost!

It's a fun and very informative Bible study. Where there is laughter, heaviness ceases. Where there is joy, depression flees. Where joy and laughter are found, sadness is not.

And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

The Helper Who Brings Rest

I love to rest in God. Life comes with many different challenges and sometimes those challenges can overwhelm us. Over the years I've learned a very important fruit of the Spirit. Patience! Within such, I've learned to rest in God, to not respond so quickly or become easily offended by situations. I simply take a deep breath and start praying when situations arise. When we rest in God, we find God's peace, wisdom and counsel flowing and that simply calms the storms. It helps us to put things into perspective.

Let me encourage you to rest in God when things seem to overwhelm you. Remember, yesterday is gone, today is here, and tomorrow will take care of it's self. Allow Jesus to calm the storms, and allow the Holy Spirit to minister peace to you.

Blessings are found in resting in God.

When That Old Man Rises Up

As we come to know God and His ways, our walk with God and as a Christian goes through many seasons and challenges. We encounter many of the same situations and circumstances in life that we did prior to becoming a Christian. The difference is that as the seasons unfold hopefully we mature and character comes forth, as we look at and see things differently. The old man starts to pass away and as new creations in Christ, the birthing process unfolds.

Sometimes we fall back into old patterns, however as the holy Spirit brings conviction to us, we find ourselves seeking the forgiveness and direction of a loving Savior. It is written that Jesus will complete the good work that He has begun in us. Now that's good news, knowing that Christ will never leave us or forsake us, and that our precious Lord is always there to hold our hand and lead us in the ways of righteousness.

Thank God that we have such a loving, compassionate and forgiving Savior.

Encounters Beyond Your Wildest Dreams

I think it would be fair to say that the Bible is filled with some mysterious, weird, and strange things. I could list many many scriptures that you might agree with me on. But to save some time how about chariots of fire, an axe head floating in water, a man named Elijah that killed 100's of men with a knife no bigger than a kitchen knife, the dead coming back to life, people drinking Jesus's blood, the sons of God that came from heaven to earth, saw that the daughters of men were fair, took of them, came into them and produced giants in the land, angels appearing in human form, a woman being turned to a rock of salt, and on and on ...

I love reading the Bible and I think back to those seasons when I devoured it day after day. It is the most interesting book I have ever read. It is also the most life changing book I have ever read.

Blessings are found in the pages of the Bible.

When Evil Rises Against Us

The word evil or wickedness for that matter is rarely used these days. However there is evil and wickedness in the world. There are also principalities, powers and spiritual wickedness in high places that wage war against mankind. The bible speaks of evil and wickedness from Genesis to the book of Revelations and gives us insight in how to deal with it. But what if you've never read the bible and you're in a battle against evil and wicked forces that have come against you, your life, your family and your home?

If you haven't read on these subjects here's a easy way to get started. Just visit blueletterbible.com and perform a word search on evil or wickedness. You could also perform word searches on other words like love, savior, Christ, salvation and many other words. It's fun and filled with wisdom.

Stories Of Success

Life is filled with stories of success that have been authored by many people. However many times these story writers have one thing in common and that is that success escapes them. Many times they impress others with the success of someone else or a relative as if they have laid claim to such. Other times financial success is passed down to some and they have a tendacy to impress others not with what they earned, but what was given to them. If one performs a word search on the Internet for success, 100's of thousands of links will come forth all giving you the secret formula for success.

There is one scripture in the word of God with the word success. Imagine that. It reads "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."

The Road Map To Success On Earth And Heavenly Blessings

Just imagine if your house was not built on concrete, but rather sand. Things could become very unstable at any given time. A earthquake could occur, or a winter storm. There could be a flood, or even a mudslide. The results could be very bad. Just imagine all the potential possibilities for disaster if your house was built on sand. Now imagine your life being built on sand.

Here are the words of Jesus on the matter. Life changing words that are over 2,000 years old, yet eternal.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

They key is reading, knowing, understanding and holding onto the sayings of Jesus.

Blessings, in Christ and His Words.

Put A Smile On Your Child's Face

This evening we are attending a special celebration gathering. Some worship, lots of great food and fellowship and of course all the kids will have a blast. All week long my daughter has been counting the days with great excitement about tonight's gathering. She's only five, yet she's so excited about attending tonight. Just the thought and excitement of attending has brought her happiness.

It's such a blessing to see children smile and filled with excitement and joy. Remember those days.

Church Gone Wild

It amazes me some of the things that are said of church people. Yes, they shout, sing, clap, dance, laugh, have fun and get pretty crazy at times. Now if you do those things in a bar, at a football game, a basketball game or any other sports gathering, well it's perfectly OK. If you do it over a six pack, you're cool. If you do it at a party where every one's intoxicated, it's acceptable. But church? No way, right?

Church, gone wild. Church should be filled with joy, for the joy of the Lord is our strength. Church should be overflowing and filled with joy. The worshippers should be leaping with joy, shouting, clapping, dancing and having a blast. Besides, who likes a boaring church?

Living A Victorious Life

What is living a life of victory? How do you measure a life of victory? Is it wealth, possessions, material things, health, who you are, what you accomplish, what others say about you? Well I guess many would say yes. However consider this. Living a victorious life just might be a life of blessing others. In other words having the ability to do good, to make a difference and to be a world changer. Regardless of how we might all see what it is to live a victorious life. One thing is certain. With God's blessings and favor, living a victorious life gets a whole lot easier.
