Technically, it was verses that I would have merely skimmed over. They didn't add a TON to the story, or even the segment that they are in. And, I think that that's an issue with myself (and possibly I'm not alone in this, where either I've read it so many times I don't even realize … Continue reading God Feeds Me
The Passion
I hovered over the "message" icon over my sister's names for a good five minutes before I thought, well, I already "harassed" them ONCE today… it's so hard, for me, to come across something so superdeeduper amazing and shut up about it. I haven't mastered that skill and in some ways, I sure hope I … Continue reading The Passion
Holy Sorrow
John 19:28,30 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. It is finished.I used to think that He was just saying, "I'm … Continue reading Holy Sorrow
God That Made the World
"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with men's hands as though he needed anything, seeing he giveth to all life and breath, and all things;..." Acts 17:24-25 I was reading the account of … Continue reading God That Made the World
What has Your Heart?
I wasn't really expecting it. I suppose it could be because while I'm familiar with the story, it's not one that I visit and think upon frequently. I love the story of Moses leading forth the Israelites, Gideon, Abraham and Sarah, Samuel, Joshua... you get it, but besides Psalms and the stories of David, and … Continue reading What has Your Heart?
Rejecting Messiah
Controversial, perhaps. Let it be known, first and formost, I don't debate. If you don't like what I post, feel free to unfollow me, or slip on by, I know I don't start arguments on other's posts and I would appreciate it if my wall was also free from it. Carrying on. I finished the … Continue reading Rejecting Messiah
Dare to be a Daniel
Just saw the news that a priest was stabbed in Montreal. This is close to home. I'm not Catholic, but my heart is sorrowful. I'm very thankful to know that the attacker was arrested (odd no details while we have the priests name?), and that the priest is ok. God is merciful. It got me … Continue reading Dare to be a Daniel
Who do You Worship?
Leviticus 17:7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations. I read this today in my morning devotions and I must admit I sat there shell-shocked for a few minutes as it absorbed. To … Continue reading Who do You Worship?
Lovers of Self: on Conviction
Yesterday I saw a post that sincerely convicted me. The man said when he grew up in the 60s and 70s it was considered serious conceit if you showed a picture of yourself to another. He mentioned at the end of the post that we really are fulfilling scripture, "Lovers of self". I don't consider … Continue reading Lovers of Self: on Conviction
Sloppy Reverence
It's been pressing on me that we have lost sight of who God is. We're largely sloppy, careless, complacent and lukewarm. A warning has gone out to awaken! He will SPEW the lukewarm out. The axe will chop the hypocritical, unfruitful branch. Jesus is the same God of the Old Testament. Jesus is God! When … Continue reading Sloppy Reverence
