God’s omnipresence – For His Glory

The Cone of Uncertainty

We walk around in a cone of uncertainty every day.

I’m going to write a post on procrastination . . .tomorrow

If you look up “procrastination” in your Funk and Wagnals you’ll see my mug shot. The inscription beneath my photo reads, “If it weren’t for the last minute I wouldn’t get anything done.” Amy Torres wrote about procrastination on the Writing Cooperative today. Mrs. Torres discusses the types of putting off we do. She suggests […]

Do you suffer from selfie pride?

Selfies can post a danger to us if we’re prideful and careless.

Happy DEpendence Day

Independence is the exemption from reliance on, or control by others; self-subsistence or maintenance; direction of one’s own affairs without interference. That seems to have worked for the pilgrims who ventured to these shores in the 1700’s. They were oppressed by a tyrannical, possessive British Crown bent on controlling and running the affairs of […]

The best stress relievers. Guaranteed.

Stress touches us all. God’s word provides the best stress relief possible.

I couldn’t survive without my G.P.S.

If you’ll look in your dictionary for “directionally challenged” you’ll see my picture next to the definition. I have to take my granddaughter to Walmart with me to find our car when we leave. I’ve been lost in our own subdivision before. If it weren’t for my GPS, I’d probably spend most of my time […]

Will you just show up today and allow Jesus to provide for you?

The good news of the Gospel is simple enough for a child to understand.

3 things Vacation Bible School taught me

Vacation Bible School always teaches me, as well as precious children in our community, about Jesus.

What’s your TQ–your Trust Quotient?

Life is a choice. We can trust in what we think is best, or we can trust in God.

Faith in the classroom

ALL we have is faith.

When we see The Father for the first time

How will we react when we see God for the first time?

Where will you go when you die?

According to a recent study by the American Culture and Faith Institute, a paltry 30 percent of those claiming to be born again Christians responded that they’d go to heaven because they have confessed their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. Respondents were given 10 options to choose from, one of which was the […]

How do we get right with God?

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ […]

Are you doing enough for God?

The operative word in that question is “doing” The Gospel of Jesus Christ turns on that word. The law is about “doing”. Grace is about “Being”. Folks who work hard to be a “good Christian” miss the message of Christ’s ministry. (By the way, there’s no such thing as a “good” Christian.) For some (I was […]

God’s free gift of grace, to me, is. . .

Books about God’s grace and what it means and what it will do abound. Sometimes I like to boil complex topics down into chunks my simple mind can digest. God’s free gift of grace, to me, is . . . Outright Undeserved Totally sufficient Exclusively God’s Eternal Universal–available to all Indiscriminate Spiritually given Spiritually […]

Why can’t we understand “free”?

We’ve been mislead about what is truly “free” by advertising folks

My inevitable but necessary 31-day sabbatical has ended. I am home. I will publish my next “For His Glory” post on Wednesday, May 17.

After a relationship with Christ family is the most important responsibility and blessing we can ever have.

Living under the other shoe

I use to live in a works-oriented salvation.

The Shoes of Peace Aren’t Flip-Flops

I’m so blessed to have discovered SharaC’s blog, Into the Foolishness of God today. I was so enamored and moved with the first post I read, I decided to post it here. I just know my readers will be blessed as well. Y’all visit her site. She’s a committed follower of Jesus and has a flair […]

The Struggle In Today’s Church

How would you like your eggs today, over-easy, scrambled, fried, sunny-side up, soft-boiled, hard-boiled, poached, or shirred?? How about your steak; rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, or well done?? Choice of potatoes? This sounds like questions for a meal in a restaurant right? Can you relate the above questions to today’s Church?

Baskin Robins Christianity

In 1945 two brothers-in-law opened the first Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop in Pasadena, California. They sold 31 flavors, one for each day of the month. Since then the iconic dessert giant boast 7,500 stores worldwide and have created more than 1,000 unique flavors of ice cream. Christianity seems to have adopted the Baskin-Robbins business model. […]

The Church can not be separated from the State

You can not separate the church from the state. The two are inexorably interwoven. Lots of atheists and anti-Christian folks quickly point to the Establishment Clause in our U.S. Constitution as the authority for doing all sorts of litigious anti-church, anti-Christian stuff. The Establishment Clause is the ACLU’s mantra. Our beautiful, powerful, time-honored U.S. Constitution falls […]

Astronomers discover 7 new planets. What’s the big deal?

You can overcome any obstacle in life if Jesus is Lord of your life.

We can’t end racism, stop abortion or save the world for Jesus.

Jesus told us to love one another. “Another” means all those we meet and know.

Ever notice isolation around you?

Sharing our scars helps us and others heal and give encouragement.

Isaiah 65: a devotional in the Message

I love to read the Message version of the Bible. Not for study, nor for scripture memory. But for its melodic prose. Some chapters, to me, become devotionals and grist for meditation. Isaish 65 is one of those. See if you agree. Isaiah 65 – The People Who Bothered to Reach Out to God 65 1-7 “I’ve made […]
