Freedom Guns and Jesus

I recently had a MAJOR distraction in my life, or at least–that’s what it looked like from the mind-of-flesh. I am walking out and working out how to live a Spirit-led life. It’s exciting–but challenging, as the mind of flesh is at enmity with the Spirit (Romans 8:6-8). I touched on it in my previous […]

-lessor–edYour Choice. I had a hard relational exchange this morning, and I was in the shower talking it over with God.I asked Him if I handled it OK, and I got an immediate “Yes”, which surprised me.I asked Him why so.(during this, my flesh-mind experiences the same doubt, accusation, wondering if it’s His voice or […]

Teachable moment:  I originally posted this on July 11, 2012, 12 years ago, but kept is private, as it was “unfinished business”:   So OK.  I have this sin that I’ve been trying to beat for years, and fell into it again the past few days.  Those of you who know me know it, because I […]

(Lord, what do you have for me to learn inside this experience?) I took time out of my busy computer business schedule to replace a grounding cable in my Honda Element. I’ve been having issues with the dash lights, the gear-shifter, and some transmission performance, and a friend of mine mentioned to me that he […]

There are certain truths that explain or bring clarity to other truths, concepts that remove nagging questions and the unpleasantness of life situations once understood.   The truth of “Seasons” is one such truth.  It takes a maturity of perspective and faith to appreciate the seasons in life. Our society seems to be made up of groups […]

Disclaimer:  This is just my opinion, not hard-studied theology. This morning, I thanked the Lord for the revelation of Himself that he gave me in the Word yesterday, when I felt a huge cultural attack on the person-ness of God.  The media (especially science-fiction) is replacing God with Aliens, ancient Assyrian gods, and blatantly switching […]

Yesterday….  Look, I’m going to be honest.  I was in a bad mood, my wife was walking on eggshells, I was hoping Bread on the Water would get rained out… On the drive there, I forced myself, out loud, in front of my wife and kids to apologize for my attitude, and break agreements with the […]

I found myself praying this morning: “Lord, go with me today, set my appointments.  There is much that could be done, probably very little that should.  Help me discern the difference.” In “Jesus Calling” today for April 30, there was once again the reminder to value the times when we lack a basic need, because […]

I very much enjoyed reading an article on God & Natural Law this morning.  It comes at an interesting time. Just yesterday, I was explaining to a friend, and last night to another friend, that even after so many years of deep faith, “growing in the Lord”, and experiencing miracles (yes, super-natural events that break […]

Let’s see if I can remember this, it was a couple weeks ago. Spirit-led men’s group in Jail is a whole lot different from showing up to “do a class”. I usually ask “who brought the goods” and give the guys a chance to share was God has spoken to them throughout the week. With […]
