Revenge is a powerful thing. It is easy to justify retaliation when we have been wronged. It is easy to share the wrong with others and have them justify retaliation. But God asks for us to wait on Him to handle the matter. It takes discipline to wait for the Lord to handle things. So... Continue Reading →

Mediating the past two weeks on God knowing me, I was given a fresh revelation of the depth that He knows me. The question was posed "How do you see yourself knowing that God created and shaped you as you are?" While I know that God made me, I rarely think about it as a... Continue Reading →
A second thought to me came about the Charity of Grace. Another argument I often give, when faced with the opportunity to share God's grace with others is that I don't know what they are going to use it for. If I give someone cash, they could use it to buy alcohol or drugs. Or... Continue Reading →

For the past sixteen years I have lived unequally yoked. I see God working, but that total surrender has just not happened. I became a Christian when I was eight years old. I didn't start walking in relationship until much later. In the mean time, I was lukewarm at my worst and a poor... Continue Reading →
