Tread lightly


Memories of sin in my mind

It is impossible to walk in the dark without stepping on one of these leaves. Guess what comes to mind when that happens?

I need the grace of God in Christ so desperately.

The continuing


This morning I came across a thought worth writing.

You’ve heard about Murphy’s Law. That if it can go wrong, it will. I’ll add to that just a little bit, if it can go wrong, it already has you just don’t know it yet.

Murphy follows me around like my best friend. i’ve learned to take it on the chin and deal with the cleanup. But I realized something quite important this morning. Murphy can really mess with me if I’m not where I should be.

But then I wonder why am I not where I should be? And this is the response thought:

The first sin in my life took me off course, for where I should be is not possible anymore. If that’s true for the first one what shall be said about the millions of sins I made since the first one? How irreparably distant from where I should be do I become?

Do we need the forgiveness of God in Christ to get back to where we should be?

Something to ponder for a while.

What IS


Israel is understood; God will protect them until His time is full. So it is with the Israelites, so it is with the gentiles.

What is not noticed readily;

Ukraine.

There are the Jews, and there are the gentiles.
God is God of them both.

As God whispers in the ears of his people the Jews, so he whispers in the ears of gentiles.

The living God is God of both.
The living God is God of all. 

The monsters will be ravished by the mouse,
For this, is God’s will .

Who will stand against Him?
Who even notices?

Allow your self to be astounded.
Open your eyes.
Open your ears.
Take note before even your time is finished.

Live Sober


Let this be said for the sake of understanding. This saying holds no condemnation, only illumination.

Every time our rebellion against our savior is made public (even in the slightest manner) we become vulnerable to blame for injuring (I would be so bold as to even categorize such as murdering) hope, trust and faith of those who witness us. In short, we are throwing dirt on the gospel of Christ. It’s not possible for unbelievers to understand our failing.

Sometimes we’re just being human and making a mistake, but the effect is the same.

What is our appropriate response? Recognize this and be humbled by it. Let us not boast of our freedom in Christ.

Let us earnestly pray that no one should be blamed where we are at fault. Rather, that blessings of salvation be shed among the forest (like the leaves in the fall) of our victims. Let such ground we have stained be covered that others may be saved.

Be sober.

By His Grace

HE IS


Before All was

During all that is

After such as passed

If you think about nothing else of value in your life, ponder, that.
