R.C Sproul … and my 44-year-old neighbor died in December. Death is always near and clears out the woods for the new trees. Anyway, that introduces our next blog. Today I read a Greek view of life after death (dated 7000 bc). It was convoluted and hard to track but it made a stab at […]
Growth as a Disciple, Part II
Attached is the new blog on discipleship. I am pressed to do this because we use this word so casually and loosely and incorrectly, I felt a need to make a comment. Here are some comments that our Savior Jesus made on the subject. Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, […]
Growth as a Disciple
The bible is clear, we are to take our life after salvation and invest in the things of God in preparation for Heaven. Salvation is not a renewal to return to the world feeling better about ourselves. As we walk with God it is very important that we use the Words of God correctly, Mat […]
Five Crowns for Believers
Well at last I will finish up on Rewards. I hope my points drove you into the Word for investigation of these truths. They are rebuffed or ignored in Christendom today and you don’t want that to happen. Here is a message from the book on Heaven “Revealing the mysteries of Heaven” David Jeremiah “I […]
Gain/Motivation
I remember 30 years ago when the laymen begin to speak of consequence in Heaven. It was controversial at that time and still is. We want to believe that there is no consequence to way we invest our life. This is poor thinking and anti-scriptural. I heard a sermon this week where the pastor noted […]
Church Discipline
This is the next blog continuing the theme of gaining a Christian World View. This blog is on Church discipline that is given by us from God. God sets the rules for dealing with a fellow believer that has gone into rebellion or unrepentant sin. The Bible takes a great deal of time to describe […]
Honoring Your Parents
A problem most all of will face is our aging Parents. When this occurred to me that my parents were older and the roles were reversing, I ask, what does it mean to honor my parents? The era of aging parent disrupted my family life and created a major struggle in my life. Mat 15:4a […]
Building and Developing a Christian World View (CWV) (2nd of 2)
Today is the last blog on Christian World View (CWV) and Topical Christian World View (TCWV). I believe it to be a major topic in these days of mixed messages on how to live your life. We can’t continue our walk as a Kerr (mixed believer and pagan) but we must become a thorough bred […]
Building and Developing a Christian World View (CWV) (1st of 2)
For this blog, I take on a subject, Christian World View, that I am not confident I understand totally. I plan to do 1 more Blog on the subject which will address how you develop a Christian World View, CWV. We live in a time of changing mores, standards and roles. As quoted above, we […]
What Will We Show the Kids?
When asked “Who are you?”, what will you show the neighbors, friends, business cohorts and Kids? Isa 39:1 At that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he had heard that he had been sick, and had recovered. Isa 39:2 And Hezekiah rejoiced over them, […]
