The Gift, part 1, Foundation

This is part one of a series I’m calling The Gift.

“There is a principal which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument, and which can not fail to keep man in everlasting ignorance. That principal is condemnation before investigation”.

… Edmund Spencer

If you weighed two CDs, one filled with computer programs and the other blank… You’d find that they both weighed the same. That’s because the CD itself is hardware and the weightless information on the CD is software. In a way the same thing is true about us… Continue Reading

Works or Grace

Eph 2:8-9  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

The day I got “saved”…

    Everyone there had to know that my salvation was only by Gods grace. I mean… I walked in so overly full of the worlds aftereffects, that I’m sure it was hard for most, to relate to much of what I had to say. At the time Continue Reading

A Healthy Fear of God

     The Bible says, The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7

    Some would say, I’m not afraid of God.” But that’s easy to say until you see Him face to face. Three young men went to a zoo a few months back, and they weren’t afraid of the lion. So they proved it by yelling and taunting him. The lion got angry to the point where he…

The Intellectual Debate

    As of today, when sharing the Gospel, I forsake the way of the intellectual debate. It took quite a long time (29 ½ years to be exact) but I finally see what I could not see before. There are plenty of mind boggling realities in the Bible; actual proof that the message contained within came from a Holy “extraterrestrial being” revealed to us as… Continue Reading

I'm Being Changed Bit-by-Bit

    I use to be afraid of what people would think about me. It wasn’t a rational, or even conscience, thought… but it would show up at the strangest times. For example if while I was driving I got stopped at a light, I would turn my radio down so that others wouldn’t hear the preacher or gospel music I was listening to. It’s hard to admit it, but… Continue Reading

What Title or Attribute of God is Most Meaningful to You?

    God has so many titles it would be hard to pick just one. When I’m afraid He’s “Yahweh Shalom” (The Lord is Peace) or “El Machsen” (God is my refuge, fortress). When I’m out of money and supplies He’s “Yahweh Yireh” (The Lord will supply). When I’m sick He’s “Yahweh Rophe” (The Lord who Heals), and when I sin He’s “Yahweh Tsidqenn” (The Lord our Righteousness). They are all beautiful. But the one that stands out the most to me is “Ab” (Father) or “Abba” (Daddy). With out this Continue Reading
