Monday Meditations – 2 Timothy 3:16
Aug 8, 2011
Today’s Meditation Verse:
2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
This scripture seems like an obvious statement. But there are aspects to this verse that many people disregard. One item is the very first word. It says ALL scripture is inspired by God and profitable… Continue reading
I Don’t Know How to Study The Bible!
August 5, 2011
I frequently hear from others that they just don’t know where to start to study the bible. It is such a big book and when you are not familiar with it or how or why it is laid out, it can be very daunting.
Here are some tips that I have used in times past to learn to study the bible.
God’s Validation part 3

God is Omniscient
God is omniscient[1] which means He knows all. This is an ‘all’ that is incomprehensible to us. From the beginning to the end, He already knows it. He knows the core of our very being and our every thought. He knows us as our creator. Continue reading

God is Omnipotent
God is omnipotent[1]. He is universal in His power and authority.
Establishing God’s authority is the pinnacle on which all else balances. We must establish that God truly is the highest authority and that no other authority can be established but by Him and through Him. In Romans 13:1 it reads: Continue reading
The Process
July 27, 2011
Parenthood can be tough. There is no getting around it.
I’m not talking about the late nights with baby colic or high fevers. Or stretching the finances for one more dance costume or baseball bat.
I’m not talking about the first time they leave the house driving on their own on a Friday night or going on a date with someone you just barely know.
I’m not talking about when they leave home and move out to college or their own apartment, leaving your nest empty.

God’s Validation part 1
July 22, 2011
This is a 3-part blog. For the next 3 weeks I want to write a study on the Omnipresence, Omniscience and Omnipotence of God. Those of who BELIEVE, know we believe. But sometimes we come across someone who doesn’t believe. I know in the past I’ve struggled at times to ‘validate God’ to them. I know I believe but how do I convey to them, in a concrete manner that what I believe is valid. SO, I studied and here is what I found. Continue reading
My Life As A Pot
July 15, 2011
I’ve been writing a lot lately about God’s love for us and how we should reject condemnation because it is never from God. It is always from the enemy or our own insecurities. This type of writing is encouraging and uplifting and causes us to move closer to the Lord.
Some of my posts have talked about being yoked with Him and letting Him lead and guide you through life which removes so much of the stress regarding bad choices and wrong decisions. How wonderfully freeing this is! Continue reading
Christian Clones
July 11, 2011
We want to be better. We want to do better. So when we see something that works, we try to copy it. If it worked for them then it should work for us. Right?
The library shelves are filled with row after row of ‘Self Help’ books. Even in the Christian section there are tons of books on how to better your life. How to lose weight, better handle your finances, break free of addictions, release anger and so many more. If you want help in an area, you will find a book on the subject.
Good Ground
?
July 8, 2011
I grew up on a farm. We didn’t just live on a farm; my daddy was actually a farmer who grew crops on the farm. So I know a little bit about ground. Both good ground and bad ground.
I would say that most of his work consisted of preparing the ground to receive the seeds. He did everything he could do to make that ground, good ground. If he did a good job and was successful in creating good ground, then when the seeds were planted the crop would grow well with minimum effort and the harvest would be abundant. Continue reading
