Silences
One of the most wonderful feelings is the ability to sit with someone and not feel the need to talk, to fill the space with sound. What a blessing it is to share the time in peace without being judged. Sometimes we need those comfortable silences for reflection. Or for the sake of silence. Not … Continue reading Silences
Proof
“Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.” Matthew 12:38 (KJV) We look for signs everywhere telling us what to do, where to go, what to speak…we want proof we are going right. Proof is an interesting concept. Elisha spoke to the king and … Continue reading Proof
Impossible
“Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.” 1 Kings 8:61 (KJV) This seems like an impossible task. And it is…but it is only impossible because we are mortals and prone to sin. Well, that and the fact … Continue reading Impossible
Purpose and Gifts
We obsess over our purpose. Are we supposed to do this or that? What is my gift to the world? What is my talent? Am I supposed to teach or preach? How will I know what I’m supposed to do, who I’m supposed to be? Just stop. Stop asking the questions. Your purpose is to … Continue reading Purpose and Gifts
A Time
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)So many times in my life I try to force things… I force relationships…I force deadlines… I force decisions… Conversations… Writing…and I know these things are forced and therefore fruitless. Nothing works on “my” time. I must … Continue reading A Time
Dead in CHRIST
I’ve thought this before but never in these words. The flesh is the grave…we are all dust, clay, made from the earth. And we are all dying, naturally. But today, as I was reading, it hit me that we are in fact dead…the flesh is dead; it is rotten and rotting with every passing moment. … Continue reading Dead in CHRIST
Do we?
I've been reading Jeremiah lately and I'll tell you, I can't help but wonder if it isn't about the current state of the world. You see, I don't believe in time. I don't think it exists. Yes, we have clocks and calendars, but they are means of organization. That's it. Something that people made to … Continue reading Do we?
Death and the Grave
HE conquered death and the grave. Death is flesh. Flesh is dead. Flesh is the grave. The grave is a prison...confining the spirit/soul. CHRIST overcame the flesh and shattered the restrictions the flesh puts on the soul. HE broke all the chains of bondage so HIS children are free. When HE rose from the grave, … Continue reading Death and the Grave
Temporary
Life is temporary. We do not have any guarantees or assurances in life. None. The joke is the only sure things are taxes and death. I can promise you that life is full of heartache. It is full of happiness. Life is a blend of all different types of people coming into your presence and … Continue reading Temporary
