Freedom Guns and Jesus

I have a deep desire to “let my ceiling be their floor“, as it pertains to the most important life lessons, many of which I didn’t grasp until half-time (I’m over 50).Resilience is one of the most important concepts I can think of. Google “stressed youth”, and look at the images. Feel the confusion, the […]

I recently had a MAJOR distraction in my life, or at least–that’s what it looked like from the mind-of-flesh. I am walking out and working out how to live a Spirit-led life. It’s exciting–but challenging, as the mind of flesh is at enmity with the Spirit (Romans 8:6-8). I touched on it in my previous […]

“His mercies are new every morning!” Most days, I have what very well may be “inspired” ideas.Usually, they come in the shower, or before, and often I forget them before taking action. So this morning, after reading a great devotional that was a gift from my mom, who understands me on a very deep level […]

I was watching a video of one of my favorite evangelists, Torbin (I can’t spell his last name). He is a guy who is doing what the Lord has called him to do and suffers quite a bit of persecution and criticism for what he does. I would encourage you to watch this video. Push […]

To my fellow believers: Do everything with the motive of Love, in Jesus’ name, to bring the Father glory. We are his children, and have Holy Spirit in us to be the light in the world, cooperate with His plan, and bring Kingdom as much as possible. Live by the Spirit, listening for His guidance […]

-lessor–edYour Choice. I had a hard relational exchange this morning, and I was in the shower talking it over with God.I asked Him if I handled it OK, and I got an immediate “Yes”, which surprised me.I asked Him why so.(during this, my flesh-mind experiences the same doubt, accusation, wondering if it’s His voice or […]

Teachable moment:  I originally posted this on July 11, 2012, 12 years ago, but kept is private, as it was “unfinished business”:   So OK.  I have this sin that I’ve been trying to beat for years, and fell into it again the past few days.  Those of you who know me know it, because I […]

(Lord, what do you have for me to learn inside this experience?) I took time out of my busy computer business schedule to replace a grounding cable in my Honda Element. I’ve been having issues with the dash lights, the gear-shifter, and some transmission performance, and a friend of mine mentioned to me that he […]

There are certain truths that explain or bring clarity to other truths, concepts that remove nagging questions and the unpleasantness of life situations once understood.   The truth of “Seasons” is one such truth.  It takes a maturity of perspective and faith to appreciate the seasons in life. Our society seems to be made up of groups […]

Disclaimer:  This is just my opinion, not hard-studied theology. This morning, I thanked the Lord for the revelation of Himself that he gave me in the Word yesterday, when I felt a huge cultural attack on the person-ness of God.  The media (especially science-fiction) is replacing God with Aliens, ancient Assyrian gods, and blatantly switching […]
