Have you ever felt frustrated because you have been misunderstood and your attempts to reach someone have not been received despite the copious expressions through spoken word, written text, and actions? I have. Sometimes, I think that if I could just communicate an idea differently, my friend, family member, or acquaintance would understand and thenContinue reading “Those who Have Ears to Hear (Romans 10)”

Humility in God’s Election (Romans 9)
It seems as though much of the world is in distress due to conflicts between and within nations, governments, social frameworks, faith groups, and families. There are many converging issues while approaching a dimly seen pinnacle from a human temporal perspective. Dissatisfaction is rampant because so many people’s reasonable expectations are confronted by opposing strategies, policies,Continue reading “Humility in God’s Election (Romans 9)”
Eternally Loved & Earnesly Longing – Romans 8, Part 3
Have you ever noticed that some of the strongest warnings and exhortations in the Bible are to those who toy with the idea of compromise with other worldviews or systems? There is a central theme throughout Scripture that anyone who desires God’s eternal life, love, and promises must be willing to be devoted to God despiteContinue reading “Eternally Loved & Earnesly Longing – Romans 8, Part 3”
No Condemnation or Separation – Romans 8, Part 2
My Father started me on a voyage with siblings through various terrains that I was never to make my home. I was naive when I started. I was just so excited to be here; travelling; learning; and with so much to do! For a time, I forgot who He was and why I was even here! At first,Continue reading “No Condemnation or Separation – Romans 8, Part 2”
No Condemnation in Christ – Romans 8, Part 1
I am so thankful that my eternity rests in the hands of my Father who is made a covenant with me that He cannot break without ceasing to be what He has declared about Himself in His Word. Consider that for a moment. If God breaks His covenant to bring those whom He has redeemedContinue reading “No Condemnation in Christ – Romans 8, Part 1”
Can You Stand to Be Blessed?
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?”
The Benevolent Covenant of Grace is His Binding Commitment
When contemplating the intricacies of the universe’s design and life within it, I cannot even begin to comprehend the Creator’s precision. There is a deliberate order whether we understand it or not. I marvel at how God prophetically revealed redemption using history as both a mechanism and proof to help willing humans enter this very specific way to be reconciledContinue reading “The Benevolent Covenant of Grace is His Binding Commitment”
Dress Code in Effect
Why do we feel that everything is negotiable? When invited to a wedding, is the invited permitted to determine the date, time, venue, and nuptial garments? Certainly, those invited have a choice to determine whether they will attend, they make preparations to journey to the ceremonial site, and they make the effort to get there. ButContinue reading “Dress Code in Effect”
His Way Is Truth and Humbles Me
Many people have heard the statement, “God doesn’t want religion, He wants a relationship”. I suspect that poses the question of how to have a relationship with a “Being” that exists outside the dimensions of time while we are physically limited to our geography and physical laws. Some doubt it is feasible to have companionship withContinue reading “His Way Is Truth and Humbles Me”
Two Kingdoms, Two Women, One War
Spiritual warfare comes to every believer regardless of how we react; it is unavoidable. With believers dedicating so much effort to walking in love and living quiet, peaceable lives, some might wonder why battles find them. It seems to me that as long as we are living in this body, battles will come looking for usContinue reading “Two Kingdoms, Two Women, One War”
