Today is our Judgment; Today We Meet God

Today is our Judgment; Today We Meet God Our mindset as humans is constrained within time.  We are dependent upon consecutive moments in time that lead us to our aspirations, out of trials, through afflictions, etc.  When we pray to God, we often imagine Him as living within our world of time, and thereby, being [...]

What is Growth?

What is Growth? I often hear Christians saying in one form or another that “things are going well” and that they are “growing a lot”.  Or another way of saying this is that because they are “growing”, things appear to be going well.  Whenever I hear this, I always question why they think they are [...]

Prayer Ramblings

Prayer Ramblings Last night as I was praying, I realized how often I was repeating the same points.  I was quickly convicted because I realized that the repetition was an underlying lack of faith.  Using this example, if you can imagine faith within a glass, then my faith only filled up less than the rim.  [...]

God is My Inheritance

God is My Inheritance It is easy to loose focus in this season that I’m going through – 2 months left till I graduate from business school with an MBA, school loans so insanely high that it would be a shame to even mention the debt, have not received a full-time job offer yet, no [...]

What Does it Mean to Suffer as a Christian?

What Does it Mean to Suffer as a Christian? Suffering is how we develop perseverance and self-control (Romans 5:3).  Through suffering we are learning to endure hardships and we are learning to submit to God by developing obedience (Hebrews 5:8).  Since God’s will for us is to be sanctified and flee from the desires and [...]

Godly Counsel: The Mistake of Rehoboam

Godly Counsel: The Mistake of Rehoboam In 1 Kings 11:31-32, Ahijah prophesied to Jeroboam that God will divide Israel into two kingdoms: Judah (southern) and Israel (northern).  Jeroboam was to receive the ten northern tribes but for the sake of David, God spared one tribe, Judah, for the southern division.  Please see All Israel will [...]

Having an Attitude like Christ Jesus’

Having an Attitude like Christ Jesus’ With all of my recent talk on the need to sanctify and strive to obtain that of which Paul talks about in Philippians 3:9-11, it is very important that I talk about how to obtain with having a heart of humility.  As we obtain a greater understanding, knowledge, and [...]

Burdens Of Our Brothers

“Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.  Be of the same mind toward one another, do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly.” Romans 12: 15 -16 Let’s face it, we live in a very selfish world.  A world where people only care about themselves, their feelings, their [...]

Look Straight!

“Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; Do no fret because of him who prospers in his way,  Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.  Cease from anger and forsake wrath, Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.  For evildoers will be cut off, But those who wait for the [...]

How to choose when you don’t know what to choose

How to choose when you don’t know what to choose So many of us ask this question.  While we are unsanctified, we will not hear from God properly.  We think God is telling us something, but it is our mind tricking us.  When we are sanctified, we can hear God more clearly and distinguish between [...]
