Is it Over Yet?! Journaling Challenge

A friend of mine asked me that yesterday.  I told him that we are more than half way there (today is day 22).   But we also talked about falling into the trap of journaling out of obligation...

God is on the Throne!

Don’t give up!  You will face resistance in trying to spend time with God.  The other day (day 2), I was attempting to spend time with God and the phone rang three different times, and our dog went crazy because someone came too close to our house.  It was clear that satan didn’t want me to spend quiet time with the Lord.  I persisted on this occasion but if you have missed a day, or haven’t started yet, why not start (or start again) tomorrow.

A Father's Testimony

My daughter lived 780 days (2 years and 2 months) and we often wondered after she died, if she knew Jesus.  She Did!  We know we will see her again and I hope her story will be a comfort to others who have experienced loss.  May God comfort you and bless you!

A Closer Walk with God - Challenge

In our men’s Bible study this past Saturday morning we talked about ‘fear and love’ in the Bible.  I wondered out loud to the group,

‘Do we truly experience a daily tangible relationship with God?‘.

I said, I’m sure we have all had times where we felt close to Him (and multiple heads shook in agreement) but do we have an intimate connection with him daily?  If we did, we probably would better understand what it means to ‘fear’ breaking that relationship with Him.

The Discipline of Journaling

Why Mapping your Private World can bring your soul into focus – Genesis 35:6-7

by Gordon MacDonald   - Reprinted with permission of the Leadership Journal (LeadershipJournal.net)

When I started journaling it was because I needed a “friend,” and I wasn’t doing well with the human kind. Read more here: http://nymensministry.com/2012/11/04/the-discipline-of-journaling/

Reducing Anxiety!

Reducing Anxiety: God wants you to be at Peace

www.humintell.com

Jesus warned the apostles and He warns us today that we will have trouble, but in the end God wins!!  I called this blog entry ‘Reducing Anxiety’ because I have found that these tools help but they don’t eliminate anxiety.  These tools should be available to all, especially Christians, as we deal with the trials of life....

Is Anxiety a Sin?

Is anxiety a sin?  Do you think your anxiety means you have a lack of faith?

How to begin to pray

Hole in a wine barrel.

“Let a man begin in prayer where he is, and that means anywhere, with any problem, with any desire. If what he asks for has him in its grip, that means that God can meet him there. If he has a ruling passion to be liked by others, to be selected to an important post, to be able to hold his marriage together, to recover the confidence of a son or daughter, why should this not come squarely into his prayer?

No need to clean up your thoughts before going to God in prayer. The Holy Spirit will do that during the conversation. Amen!

The Humblest Man Alive

We have seen commercials about the 'most interesting man alive' but I think the most interesting man alive would also be the humblest man alive.

So, who comes to mind for you?    Hopefully you don't think of yourself!   Maybe your father comes to mind, or another relative, neighbor or friend.

Hosanna! Reflections for Palm Sunday

From Mark 11:1-11: Jesus’ Triumphant Entry

Thirsty for God! Faith, Waiting for Truth!

‘Russians – A People with such ‘Thirsty Souls’

“For me, to preach the gospel to the Russians is heaven on earth.  I have preached the gospel to men of many nations, but I have never seen a people drink in the gospel like the Russians.   They have such thirsty souls.
