The First Sin
Rather than making God’s Word subject to our desires, we should subject our desires to God’s Word… Know God’s Word to know sin. Obey God’s Word to defeat sin

Immortal, Invisible, God ONLY Wise
God’s wisdom and knowledge are infinite; the decisions of Almighty God cannot be rationalized by mere man. Who knows enough to argue with God? Who is wise enough to give God counsel?
In Danger? Don Deer Feet!
As we go about our lives, making decisions about finances, health, relationships, employment, education and family (to name a few) let us call on our God, let us seek His face, let us search out His will. Life is a struggle and we can’t see all the dangers ahead; it is difficult to know what choices to make. Truly, we have no hope of surviving on our own. But God is faithful: if we live by faith He will make our feet like hinds’ feet so that our steps are assured and we can escape to safety. If we trust in God, He will make our feet surefooted so that we can escape the wiles of the devil.
The Wrong Approach to Sin
No matter how much we deny, distort or disguise the evidence of sin, we can never change the fact of sin… Only God can remove the stain and penalty of sin. The longer we hide from Him the longer we have to live with the cancer of sin eating away at our lives… Nobody forces us to sin and God does not put us in a situation where we must sin. We are NOT powerless. We CAN choose to resist the influence of others. We CAN rise above our circumstances.
The Parable of the Two Sons: “It’s not how you start… It’s how you finish!”
It’s not what you SAY, It’s what you DO.
It’s not how you START, It’s how you FINISH.
It’s not who you ARE, It’s who you can BECOME.
Sin Doesn’t Come in Sizes
It is the combination of God’s mercy, as He patiently works with us, and His Word, as it transforms our mindset, which ultimately breaks the power of sin over our lives…If God has started the transformation process in us, He won’t stop working (even if He has to use with trials to get it done). God won’t quit on you… so don’t quit on yourself!!!
What Kind of Builder are You?
The Size of your Ego limits the Size of your Service.
Don’t be Overcome, be an Overcomer.
Only our best is good enough
Reflections in Nehemiah: The Butler Did It!
Scholarship and other human accomplishments are not what qualify us for joining God’s workforce. God looks for devotion over degrees, desire over duty, enthusiasm over experience, fellowship over fame, and connection (to Him) over ‘connections’.
God used a butler
To build a city wall;
He can use you too,
If you answer His call.
You KNOW what to DO… GO DO IT!!!
It’s not more knowledge you need.
All you require is the seed.
Then in faith step up, step out;
No more fear, and no more doubt.
Go do it!
Reflections in Nehemiah: Feeling The Good Hand of God
The key to experiencing the Good Hand of God upon me is to discover His will for me and to walk in it.
