Say What You Ought to Say
Not just any dirty talk….
Searching for Strength
Do you believe that man is feeble? Juvenile… lacking strength or character… There is nothing in us that excels, that can look beyond the surface… at least not in of ourselves. No… religion doesn’t count. Religion is, as a wise man once described it, “man’s way of getting to God.” And this just leads us …
Man in Hiding
This kind of fear can become murder in the blink of an eye… take care that you are fearing the right thing.
The Chance to be Judged
It says in Psalms that the wicked will not stand in the judgement. Standing indicates a posture of presence. The not being able to be “present” to defend their cause is one way this verse can be explained. Can you imagine not even having a presence or place to state your case… like you don’t …
Thy Will Be Done?
Is “His” will something that we truly desire to be done, or are we really seeking our own will? We may not instantly recognize it, but the underlying question within us really is… Do we resent when God is kind toward others? Kind, generous, gracious. Whatever we think kind to be. Do we perhaps compare and think …
The Cover Up
We hide. We cover things up. Not just once, more than once. We try to cover up things multiple times from an all seeing, all loving, all knowing God. We have secrets. Those parts of our lives we feel we need to bare… alone. Those things we would not dare let other people in on. …
The Missing Truth (A Poem)
No, I’m not your teacher… Nor am I designed to be. The things that come from your being, simply disagree with me. I would hate to have to tell you something serious, as in a real truth, because the only thing you’d see is the spinach on my tooth. Trite, a bit, shallow, as sh@t. Not …
Festival of Lights
Today is celebrated for many as the Hindu holiday, Diwali. It is said to be a holiday that celebrates the triumph of good over evil. This theme of good over evil is always an exciting theme. We love to see this in movies (for adults) and kids storybooks alike. Especially when it’s the story of …
Loneliness or Singleness of Heart?
It’s the difference between the physical truth of being alone and its emotional appeal loneliness. It’s not a dark place to be alone… but actual loneliness grips us like darkness sometimes doesn’t it? It’s almost like it has a plan and desires to take us somewhere we may or may not want to go. Yes, the other side …
The Push Back
Have you ever heard the popular phrase: “If you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything.” What does it mean to you? Does this phrase urge you to stand for something… now? Does it put you on high alert, as if you don’t by chance have that thing to stand for, you better be …
You Mighty Man of Valor
By: Dave Cole If you were going to pick a person to go out and deliver a nation from the hands of the enemy, would you even consider choosing one of the weakest members of the country, or would you pick a man of valor? What’s valor mean you might ask? According to Webster: strength of mind or spirit …
Where Are You?
A wise man once told me: “Every tub sits on its own bottom.” What he was really trying to tell me was, “take responsibility.” Basically, stop the playgrounds and tricks. It’s time to handle those things that mattered. (You know, the ones calling out to us that we’d rather ignore.) After all, we have bigger, better fish …
