When I was younger I remember hearing the expression, “you may have to eat some humble pie”. It was a common way of saying “you messed up and now you’d better man up”. Humility is an important part of spiritual growth and wisdom. I compare humility to a drive in the Rocky Mountains. If you’ve never been to the Rockies, you may not completely … Read the rest…

Do you know what it means to give grace to others? Grace, according to one of the definitions in the dictionary, is the “free and unmerited favor of God“. No kidding…that’s actually in the dictionary. Who’d’ve thunk it? Well, since that definition says it’s of (or from) God, can we mere humans know what it’s like to give grace to others? If we’re to … Read the rest…

Self demands a lot, but the true, saving faith you need for eternal life can never be in self. It must be in the only One who was faithful enough to withstand the … Read the rest…
Hope Is Not A Strategy There’s a book called “Hope Is Not A Strategy” by an author named Rick Page.

Here’s a worldview definition. See if it’s how you’d describe it. That’s a fair worldview definition. But it makes it seem like a worldview happens to you by your circumstances or surrounding.

Reward of the Inheritance
There’s a couple of verses in the Bible that say I can know I’ll receive from the Lord “the reward of the inheritance”. I don’t feel like I deserve any inheritance, but thankfully it doesn’t depend on how I feel. No, I don’t feel like I “serve the Lord Christ” very well. Do you ever (or always) feel like that? I mean…I know I … Read the rest…
