But it is the spirit of Almighty God that comes to us and gives us wisdom. It is not growing old that makes us wise or helps us to know what is right. Job 32:8-9 I listen to a lot of podcasts. I love learning and it is an easy way to gain knowledge. I... Continue Reading →
His Platform Alone
The attitude you should have is the one that Christ Jesus had: He always had the nature of God, but he did not think that by force he should try to remain equal with God. Instead of this, of his own free will he gave up all he had, and took the nature of a servant.... Continue Reading →
Renewed Thoughts
“As the scripture says, “Who knows the mind of the Lord? Who is able to give him advice?” We, however, have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2:16 “Can anyone tell the Lord what to do? Who can teach him or give him advice? With whom does God consult in order to know and... Continue Reading →
Opportunities

For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the... Continue Reading →

It has become worthless, so it is thrown out and people trample on it.”Matthew 5:13 My devotion this morning by Paul David Tripp from New Morning Mercies was very powerful. He... Continue Reading →
Stubborn Obedience
“So then, from now on be obedient to the Lord and stop being stubborn. The Lord your God is supreme over all gods and over all powers. He is great and mighty, and he is to be obeyed. He does not show partiality, and he does not accept bribes. He makes sure that orphans and... Continue Reading →
Run to God
The pitter patter of little fit broke up the quiet sanctuary, pounding above the praise and worship music playing from the sound system. At first, I was a little distracted by it; I wanted to complain, reminded of the many times my husband disrupted my prayer. The children were not being loud. They were just... Continue Reading →
Left Over
““There is a boy here who has five loaves of barley bread and two fish. But they will certainly not be enough for all these people.” “Make the people sit down,” Jesus told them. (There was a lot of grass there.) So all the people sat down; there were about five thousand men. Jesus took... Continue Reading →
