“Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the LORD. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the LORD.” ~Jeremiah 23:24 NIV~ For years I thought that I could hide from God. I was pretty sure that it didn’t really matter where I was or what I was doing, He…
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. ~2 Corinthians 12:9 New International Version~ Sometimes I am overtaken by the fear that I may…
The sins of some are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them. In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even those that are not obvious cannot remain hidden forever. 1 Timothy 5:24-25 New International Version (NIV) You know you aren’t doing enough to shine…
Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast…

I hate name-droppers. Perhaps hate is too strong a word, but I generally can’t stand to hear someone talking about who they know and how wonderful that person is and how important it is to know them. This was part of what had initially turned me off about Christians. All of this Jesus business was…
We have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the Word of God deceitfully. ~2 Corinthians 4:2~ Alright. I’ve been wrestling with some issues lately. As a relatively new Christian (one who has only recently begun to understand some of the larger concepts like “love they neighbor”), I have to…
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world — the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does — comes not from the Father…
