Distance


Heaven stretches left to right a billion trillion years of Flight

Yet God’s forgiveness reaches me the moment his ears hear my plea.

The strength of God is not in his ability to annihilate his enemy. His strength is found in causing his enemy to love him.

Lord God,  I love you.

Hope Lives


Look how hungry the heart is for love.  See how the arms ache for peace.  Notice how the yearning to be noticed consumes you.

You would not own these if The Holy Spirit of God were not offering them.  But who will reach beyond the flesh to take hold of those things God offers?  Who will become a student of holiness?   Who will reject the teachings and enticements of the world?  Who will forsake all to gain all?

The bounty is near.  Come, eat and have your full.  If this statement reaches your heart, why not respond.  Hope Lives.

Worried?


Are you worried that you will not subdue the lusts of the flesh?  Are you stuck in an open dark field of hopelessness?  I can testify that every man has stood where you are.  What allowed them to win?  Is there ANYTHING that can be done?

They found encouragement in The Lord you are trying to grasp hold of.  They read His Holy promises and came to believe Him.

Here, I will give you a promise to ponder.  I can’t make you believe.  But I can give you reason to hope.

Mark 1:27 tells us something priceless.  Listen to the testimony of the people who witnessed Jesus.  “He even gives orders to evil spirits and they obey Him”.

What’s that got to do with your doubt and worry?  If He is able to arrest evil in demons, how much more is He able to cleanse those who pine after holiness?  He is willing and able to receive those whose heart is frozen with fear because of the sin they perceive within them.

Trust what I’ve told you.  Read it for yourself.  GOD CANNOT LIE!  Take heart!  He, the Living God, sees you and knows your name.

By His Grace.

License to Sin.


When God is a shameful belief, and joyful obedience is considered a sin against humanity,  what shall we expect to see?

When it is a badge of honor to be wicked, and the more ingenious the wickedness the more accolades are cast, what shall we expect to see?

Shall we look for proper men and women to appear?  Will the well of trustworthy adults and children be a source of joy, health, godly encouragement,  and strength?

Such a people who honor wickedness will find no honor from God.  They will weep great sobs when His beauty is revealed.  They will not enter His presence, though even now their folly will disagree with those words.  No, my fellow travelers in this place of testing, you will not enter His Eternal Kingdom dressed in your insatiable lust.

God does not lie.  There are promises for those who obey by faith.  And there are promises for those who rebell by putrid flesh.  It doesn’t matter whether you agree or not.

By His Grace.
