I put my bathroom scale in the attic today. It seemed like the only way to stop an upward trend of the numbers it’s been reporting. I went on a couple of trips this fall, and the change in routine set my weight on the rise. Maybe putting away the scale seems like sticking my … Continue reading Keep Your Eyes on the Prize!
El Qadosh – The Holy One God is Holy. What does that mean? According to the online resource, www.kingjamesbibledictionary.com/Dictionary/Holy it means that God is perfectly pure, immaculate and complete in moral nature—and I would add, complete in every way. In my recent readings, I came across the idea that it is the gap between where … Continue reading Make God Bigger – Day 8
Elohim – Creator In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 We often overlook the first verse of Genesis.

July is coming to a close. I set this month aside to seek God for the next chapter in my life. This is on the run-up to my birthday next month. What is it about birthdays that makes us so introspective? We tend to look back on our lives and examine the wins and losses. … Continue reading Maximum Health for Maximum Service
“But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ” Philippians 3:20 (NIV) Whether it is my fast-approaching birthday or an increasing sense that Jesus could, indeed, be coming for his church any minute, my awareness that I am not a citizen of this world is … Continue reading Are You Ready?
Who are you? When asked this question, we generally spout a list of characteristics such as our age, height, weight, marital status, education, job. We define ourselves by physical traits and life experiences. When we face challenges in life, we compare our ability to overcome against this list and come up with a statistical analysis … Continue reading You Are a Winner!
What is fear but the expectation of disaster? We’ve been talking about overcoming the effects of this beast and, as I’ve mentioned before, I am reading the book Acres of Diamonds by Jentezen Franklin, looking for clues as to how to stop the tyranny of fear. Most recently, I was reading about the powerful effect … Continue reading What Do You Expect?
