I’ll have to admit that I have been confused between the difference of joy and happiness. I thought I knew what it meant to be happy, but was confused about joy. I wondered if they were the same thing. I often heard Christians say they had the “joy of the Lord,” and I wasn’t sure [...]

Beware of Contemplative Prayer
Posted in Christianity, Culture, tagged Centering prayer, Christian, church, contemplative prayer, Discernment, Lectio Divina, mysticism, prayer on January 12, 2012 | 3 Comments »
Has contemplative prayer arrived in your church yet? What about Lectio Divina, and prayer walks? Have you ever heard of centering prayer? When people participate in centering prayer they are actually taken into another state of consiousness. This is very dangerous and is the realm where demons can influence our minds. God has never told us to empty our [...]

As I listened to a sermon this past week something stuck in my mind. The speaker talked about how we think, and said, “Today the focus is on self, which is all about relief, instead of victory in spite of their circumstances.” He also mentioned the fact that we are today a medicated society. I’ve [...]

One of the greatest benefits God has bestowed on believers is adoption. This is probably only second to the benefit of salvation. In order to be a Christian with a correct view of ourselves we must get a grip on what this actually means. It will change the way you see yourself and how you [...]

Do you realize that God has plenty to say about how we live our Christian lives? He wants us to obey Him in every area. We will look at the Bible and see some of the scriptures that shows us that. 2Co 13:5 NASB Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine [...]

October’s beauty! Have you ever thought of yourself as a slave to Christ? I hadn’t until recently. I thought more of myself as a servant of Christ. Like a helper at times. But a slave, no. As I began to think about this I realized that we can be slaves to many things. Who [...]

Here is a comforting old hymn that I thought might bless you. I’m thinking of all of you who have been displaced by Hurricaine Ike, and all the weather related problems that occured all through out the midwest and east. Some of you have lost everything. You need words of comfort. God is still there even [...]

Previously we talked about how different we are in God’s eyes when we are not saved and when we are saved. We saw from the Word there is a great deal of difference. Now that we are believers are we living like a believer, or are we still living like an unbeliever? If you [...]
