A Word on Fallen Man and God’s Creation The Bible plainly states that God created everything Good. (Genesis Chapter 1) This is a foundational statement that sets the rules for our universe. I’m not talking morals only. I’m talking everything. It’s purpose is for Good. The Bible speaks of Reaping and Sowing. It’s a naturalContinue reading “Created Good”

It’s Not Too Hard For You
So why can’t we obey? In Deuteronomy God says that His laws are not too hard for us.(Deut. 30:11-15) “For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven,Continue reading “It’s Not Too Hard For You”
All Things Work Together
He is with us in all of it. I got “saved” when I was young. I had no idea what that actually meant. But, God did. And that’s all that matters. I turned to Him and He came running. No one who gets saved, knows the Bible. They do not know anything. We cannot sayContinue reading “All Things Work Together”
God Will Come Running
When we turn to Him Jesus tells us a story about a young man who left home and went to make a name for himself. (Luke 15:11-32) It could be a kid going to college with his parents credit card. Or a kid chasing a dream with his fathers support and blessing. We know thisContinue reading “God Will Come Running”
How Do We Pray?
It’s simpler than we think Prayer, is a conversation with God. For me, I just talk to the Lord. Jesus says that God is our father. The Apostles tell us that God is our father as well, if we know Him. When we believe Him, He calls us friend. Abraham believed what God told him,Continue reading “How Do We Pray?”

Evil Is With Me
We have a corrupted nature “I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.”—Rom. 7:21 Romans chapter 7 explains to us the purpose of God’s Law. It’s purpose is to reveal sin in us, so that it can be dealt with. Paul describes the struggle between law andContinue reading “Evil Is With Me”
Our Peace
Our Peace Comes Through Knowing Him “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”—Phil. 4:6-7 You’ve seen the slogan “Know Jesus. Know Peace.NoContinue reading “Our Peace”
Does God Feel Distant?
He is with you. Believe it. There are times in our lives when we feel that God has abandoned us. It seems that He doesn’t hear and we don’t feel His presence or see His movements in our lives. I have experienced the same. God has opened my eyes to the reality of it, andContinue reading “Does God Feel Distant?”
Saving Faith
What is it really? And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all hadContinue reading “Saving Faith”
