How would you define a blessed person? Is it having great wealth, good health, a loving family, trustworthy friends, and favour in society? I certainly think those things can be blessings, but depending on the effects on you (or your development), they may not be. What about people who have all of those things, but do not know Christ?Continue reading “Can You Stand to be Blessed? – Lite (35 min)”

Scriptural Proof of Election – Lite (5 min)
Now, if we gauge our salvation based on experiences and emotions, it is likely that we will live a dramatically fretful and potentially fearful life. This is not God’s intention for us. The disciple John who knew how much the LORD loved him wanted other believers to have assurance. John wrote the Gospel of John, 1st 2nd and 3rdContinue reading “Scriptural Proof of Election – Lite (5 min)”
Simply, What’s Your Defense? – Lite (5 Min)
If you were face to face with God and He asked you why He should let you into heaven, what would you tell Him? The truth is there will be no argument or negotiation about your final destination after you die because death is the vehicle to your permanent abode. So how can you setContinue reading “Simply, What’s Your Defense? – Lite (5 Min)”
Faithful are the Oracles of God – Lite (30 min)
Ever wonder what is the point of all the difficulties a believer faces when pushing back darkness? Being holy and loving in a fallen world is hard work! Does becoming holy even matter if showing love is so vital to the Christian life? Some believers think the initial confession of faith is all that counts.Continue reading “Faithful are the Oracles of God – Lite (30 min)”
The Believer’s Eternal Rewards – Lite (10 min)
It’s interesting to listen to people discuss what they value and watch the excitement on their faces. I especially enjoy watching children unwrap presents with great anticipation. Friends, 1st Corinthians 2:9-10 says (and I am paraphrasing) that eyes have not seen, nor ears heard, nor hearts dreamed of the great things that God has preparedContinue reading “The Believer’s Eternal Rewards – Lite (10 min)”
The Outcomes: Part 1 – Lite (35 min)
The 2nd chapter of Romans personalizes the reality of willful blindness in a “virtuous” person, and it ought to cause great introspection. In this chapter, the word “you” is used 27 times within 12 out of a total of 29 verses. That’s on average over 2 times per statement which is fairly confrontational. It becomesContinue reading “The Outcomes: Part 1 – Lite (35 min)”
The Outcomes: Part 2 – Lite (20 min)
The 2nd chapter of Romans personalizes the reality of willful blindness in a “virtuous” person, and it ought to cause great introspection. This is the 2nd half of my study which covers points 3 and 4 in my outline. Please refer to part 1 for the first 2 points on our eternal judgment. I’d likeContinue reading “The Outcomes: Part 2 – Lite (20 min)”
The Just – Lite (25 min)
For God to be good and have a relationship with us based on mutual love, He had to give humanity a choice. So, God created our species in His Image, made us perfect (knowing only good), and provided everything needed to succeed including perfect direction (and what to avoid). Then He gave us liberty; theContinue reading “The Just – Lite (25 min)”
Hope Again – Lite (12 min)
In surveying the communities I am involved in, I see a resilience stirring in some people; but, I also see a weariness in others. The past few years have been trying and divisive for the majority of people for various reasons. Friends, if you are growing tired because of the canvas in front of you,Continue reading “Hope Again – Lite (12 min)”
Freedom in Surrendering Accurate Accusations – Lite (15 -17 min)
Do people judge each other because of unforgiveness, ignorance, lovelessness, or entitlement? Are there several causes? Hmmm. I admit I have difficulty wanting to sit in a church where the preaching includes the world’s encroaching philosophies (undetected or at least embraced by its leadership). The intention of this blog is to help those who (1)Continue reading “Freedom in Surrendering Accurate Accusations – Lite (15 -17 min)”
