God's Opinion is the Only One that Counts "Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." Romans 12:2 I was struck by the statement ‘His Opinion is the Only One that Counts’ and how this is so true, when you’re seeking to walk out your life with Jesus. It is only God's view, His judgements, and His appraisal of us that counts, not anything we may have picked up from what others say or from our life’s journey. We’re all influenced and affected by so many things as we walk through life, and these can affect us either for good

Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar`s and to God what is God`s”. And they were amazed at him. (Why were they so amazed?) “Mark 12:17, NLT We bear the image of God!” In the beginning God had made us in His image (Genesis 1:27).if we fail to get our minds off money and things, we can easily miss what Jesus was really saying when He replied, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar`s and to God what is God`s.” We all have individual differences that... God has placed in us, once we begin to know and function in that gifting, give it all to Him. One example of the gifting’s I feel is not used for God’s intent is a gift of music and singing. You watch the shows on TV that h

Pre-Tribulation This post is what I believe after searching scripture, by no means am I forcing my thoughts on anyone. After reading messages and articles that disagree with the pre-trib rapture, I've noticed a certain number of arguments that are repeated. Nowhere in the Bible, can you find the word "rapture" It amazes me that some question the validity of the rapture, simply because the word "rapture" doesn't appear in the Bible. With 1 Thes 4:16-18 giving us such a clear description of the rapture, you would have to conclude that some people are just playing games with the Word of God. Their logic fails because there are a huge number of words that don't appear in the Bible, includin

Grace and Prayer. We know that Grace is God's unmerited favor and we don't deserve it. It's only by His love. Back in November of 2016, I spent 8 days at my friends hunting camp in Canada. It's 4 miles off a side road and another 4 miles into the woods on a old logging road. He asked me if I could help him repair an 4' x 8' by 6 foot high tree stand that was 20' off the ground. I told him yes and we brought tools and lumber out to the tree stand with a 4 wheeler another 3/4 of a mile into the woods. I told him to put his harness on before going up and working on the roof so he did. I was on the ground helping to jack as he tightened the cable and strap to pull it back into the tree. It had

While returning from Canada after meeting with a friend, I had a lot of time to pray, think and listen To Holy Spirit. I was thinking of where the church has gone in general. This whole thing started off from listening to a Christian station and the pastor was giving a sermon, it was palm Sunday. It sounded so eloquent. I asked myself, I wonder how many times that congregation had heard the same sermon or knew the whole thing by heart? They come week after week hear a sermon go home and the pattern repeats it's over and over again. I got the thought that the church is not the church it was intended to be, it's become a business. Jesus Christ made it so simple, He spent 3 years teaching the 1
