GOD’S IMPERFECT GOODNESS
And maybe, just maybe, my perfection can even win over the love of God.
Then God can be good to me too, because now I am perfect! …
THE COMPLACENT LOVE OF GOD
God was, is, and will always be, very concerned about the affairs of you and me.
But he did not sacrifice his only son to show us that he loved us.
For all those who are yelling, stone this Heretic! please allow me to explain.
THE FOOLISH LOVE OF GOD
First let me begin by making myself perfectly clear.
I AM NOT CALLING GOD FOOLISH!
In fact, anyone who would say God is foolish are themselves a Fool! I’m No Fool.
SOMETHING TOLD ME
Have you had an experience when you felt you should or should not do something, but you didn’t know why?
GOOGLE or GOD?
Is Faith still needed in today’s time? Afterall, we have made so many great advances in science and technology over the years.
Do we still need something as archaic as the caveman’s Faith? We’ve got fire now!
A FIGHT TO OBEY
What first comes to mind when you hear the word obey?
Do you cringe? Are you indifferent?
Or does some form of defiance raise up in you?
Perhaps an image flashed in your mind of an instance when someone was attempting to control you, and thus they required you to obey them…
LIVING LOOKING BACK
What do I mean by living in the past? When we constantly refer to how things used to be, that’s living in the past. Remembering the past is certainly not a sin, but constantly desiring to return to it could be…
BELIEVING FOR DUMMIES
A lot of people might think that believing is difficult. I have found a way to simplify it. Believing does not come as easy for those who think they are of high intelligence. Those who think their intelligence can figure anything out.
A DESIRE FOR APPROVAL
We all know and have experienced, that painful sting of rejection in our life. Truth be told, most of us have felt it, far more than we would like to admit. Oftentimes, it is our fear of rejection, that leads to a desire for approval…
PUT IT IN NEUTRAL
Everyday life can be so very taxing and busy. Running here and there trying to get everything accomplished that we have on our list for the day. We start out with one list, and as we go along other things get added to it. The list isn’t always on paper, it could be a mental list…
CONTENDED CONTENTMENT
When looking at these two words, Contend and Content, I noticed that they share all the same letters in the same order except for the last one.
My eyes also noticed they both have two syllables. Con-tend and Con-tent…
ENJOYING LIFE
What does it mean to enjoy life? What is needed to enjoy life? Many might think those answers would depend upon who you are asking. I tend to believe all our needs are similar, we just satisfy them differently…
SUSTAINED RESILIENCY
You’ll know when you have resilience when something bad, tragic, or unexpected happens and it does not take you out. It doesn’t break you. But resilience is not just about recovery. It is more about what you do after you recover.
Resilience is your ability to become stronger, healthier, or more successful in spite of the events that should have taken you out…
INTENTIONAL ACTIONS
Actions speak louder than words.
Intentions aside, what we do is more telling than what we say. Some believe that actions show in our words, but the truth of the matter is that words are displayed through our actions. Actions speak when there are no words. I learned this lesson many years ago when my oldest son Daniel was but a toddler at the time…
