Converting Thieves!

Psalms 90:12 “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Converting Thieves! Like the rustlers of old, “out West” bandits long gone, so those set upon stealing through life… …take the most from themselves. Robbing then what most matters, a life spent surrendered to CHRIST. So examine your heart […]

FAR More Often!

Psalm 34:1 “I will bless the LORD at all times; HIS praise shall continually be in my mouth!” FAR More Often! One speaks of work and another of  Health.

Universal and Eternal!

Ephesians 5:1 “Therefore be imitators of GOD, as beloved children.” Universal and Eternal! So many languages escape us! Both their motives and intentions……are often lost within translation. Vaguely then, one’s heart is felt. How very shallow — Understanding which is limited profusely…unless we speak in “Common’s tongue”. Save this then…Confusion reigns. But within HIS HOLY […]

Serving CHRIST Alone!

Luke 9:23 “And HE said to all, “If anyone would come after ME, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow ME.” Serving CHRIST Alone! Our selfish ambition outside HIS — aligned…appears in lock step but its walk isn’t right. It serves as this says. “May Self seize every credit.” Yet […]
