What is really necessary? February 28, 2006. In Need Of. Sushi? Just for the heck of it ;o). I don't know if anyone in the Scriptures ever ate sushi? Links to this post. February 07, 2006. In Need Of. A Voice that divides the flames of fire. Just as i want to be heard, God wants to be heard. If i want the sovereign Lord of the universe to listen to me, who am i to ignore Him? This is amazing: (The lines in italics are the ones i was most taken with :o). Give unto the Lord,. O you mighty ones,. I must be ...

When In Need...: July 2005

What is really necessary? July 05, 2005. In Need Of. Child-like-ness. Not the kind that screams "I NEED A TIMEOUT," but the kind that screams "I BELIEVE.". To be able to believe in things like: trust, a hiding place from bad things, goodness, safety, friendship, forgiveness. To react to life without cynicism. To speak without sounding jaded. To be able to get excited about things. To have FAITH. Try to remember what it felt like to be new. Links to this post. In Need Of. *PASSION*. God couldn't stand the...

What is really necessary? December 04, 2005. In Need Of. Holy words. One speech that strikes me everytime i read it.that calls me to read it every now and then. Acts 7:2-53,. Stephen speaking in front of the council and the high priest. I tell ya. That guy knew his stuff! It's a must read. It's like the whole old testament in 2 pages :o). Stephen was able to stand in front of the whole council. Some of the most important people in Israel and give them a history lesson. HOW did he do that? I want to be li...

When In Need...: October 2005

What is really necessary? October 17, 2005. In Need Of. Fresh Water. I was reading the book of James tonight. Some great stuff in there. I came across some great verses that stuck out to me. James 3:10-11 - Out of the same mouth proceed blessing an cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? James is talking about "the tongue". Also known as, "things we say". So i draw near. Links to this post. October 05, 2005. This day is...

What is really necessary? July 17, 2006. In Need Of. Obedience. There are many things that we can give to God. and there are many things that we can give up for God. But what does God really want? Does He want your money? Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice. God wants obedience above all. God desires for us to obey Him. And that's what it all comes down to. Look at Abraham. ( Genesis 22:1-18. When A...

When In Need...: April 2006

What is really necessary? April 22, 2006. In Need Of. A Love that's stronger than life. I was reading Romans and this verse caught my attention. Romans 8:38-39 - "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (KJV)". That passage reminds me of a psalm. Whither shall I go from thy spirit?

What is really necessary? June 29, 2006. In Need Of. A summary. So that wraps up my Kiddie Song blog series ;o) It was more fun than i expected. haha! And really. By doing this series, i figured out just how much all of these things were inter-related. Interesting that Jesus says Himself that your joy hinges on the love you have for other people. And the thing is. If you have the Father's love, that also brings peace to you! Really. I think it all boils down to love! Links to this post. June 28, 2006.

What is really necessary? February 02, 2005. In Need Of Enduranccceeeee. Like Paul said. " .Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.(Hebrews 12:1 NKJV)". Endurance: The capacity to withstand stress. Perseverance. (Courtesy of Webster's.). I find that definition kinda funny. If you're anything like me, you'd think "endurance" meant "stamina"? I wasn't expecting to see that when i opened up the dictionary! So the s...

What is really necessary? January 24, 2005. In Need Of. Guts. (NOT the digesting kind.). Yes, I said, "guts". And i meant it. We, as a nation, have become gutless. We want everyone to be happy, we want everyone to love everyone, and we want everyone to like us - which in themselves, are not bad ideas. What we do wrong is to try and accomplish these things by becoming "politically correct (PC)". In a Christian, PC does NOT work! And if it does, there's something SERIOUSLY wrong with that Christian walk.
