Lost in Space DANGER! WILL ROBINSON! DANGER! No I’m not talking about Lost in Space, the 1965 TV show, I’m talking about that feeling when you think no one is there for you. When you feel like you are just stuck floating through a vastness of emptiness and God just feels light years away with us pushing ourselves further from him through sin. How do you get “Unlost”? How do we correct the ship and focus on living a life…

His Timing Is Perfect Originally Posted on Billy Graham, View Original Post Here Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 God has a plan for the life of every Christian. Every circumstance, every turn of destiny, is for your good. It is working together for completeness. His plan for you is being perfected.…

ON CHURCH; A CLASSIC C.S. LEWIS DEVOTIONAL No Christian and, indeed, no historian could accept the epigram which defines religion as “what a man does with his solitude.” It was one of the Wesleys, I think, who said that the New Testament knows nothing of solitary religion. We are forbidden to neglect the assembling of ourselves together. Christianity is already institutional in the earliest of its documents. The Church is the Bride of Christ. We are members of one another.

Harmony with God Originally posted on Joyce Meyer Ministries, View Original Post Here As a teacher of God’s Word, it is not my job to preach amazing sermons that will impress people, but rather to share His Word in such a way that they might want to be brought into harmony with Him. God has brought us into harmony with Himself, and His desire is to work through us to do the same thing for the multitudes that are separated…

Power Driven Ten times now you have reproached me; shamelessly you attack me. Job 19:3 Throughout each day we are faced with many temptations, the biggest of which is our drive for power, specifically over others. We see this drive play out as we use negative words against others, gossip about individuals, and even bully them directly. What can we do to stop this abusive power when we are witnessing it or even the driving force of it? First, if we’re witnessing…

We Won’t Be Shaken Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. Psalm 55:22 Life can cause you to worry and be shaken. Between work and family, there will always be something to worry about throughout the day. But, Jesus and the Bible both say to not hold on to your worries, but to give them to the Lord, because He doesn’t want you to have to carry those burdens…

The Lowest Place Did You Know? The Kola Super deep Borehole in Russia is the deepest hole ever drilled and the deepest artificial point on Earth. For two decades it was also the longest borehole at more than seven-and-a half miles. Drilling began in 1970 and ended in 1992 when the extreme heat made it impossible to run the equipment any deeper. The original goal of the borehole was 49,000 feet while seeking to break through the Earth’s crust. There…

CLASSIC C.S. LEWIS TO BEDE GRIFFITHS, with whom Lewis shares an insight from The Great Divorce (Chapter 9), which he is writing at the time: On the utter truth of losing one’s life to save it (with another word about Charles Williams). 25 May 1944 Thanks for your letter. I too was delighted with our meeting. About the past, and nothing being lost, the point is that ‘He who loses his life shall save it’ [Matthew 10:39] is totally true, true on every…

The Cost of Christ Having a relationship with God is something that people typically says comes without a cost, but I disagree with that statement. Our relationship with God costs us two things. First it cost us Jesus, for he made the ultimate sacrifice to bring us back to God. For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. 1 Peter 3:18…

Being a Living Sacrifice Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2 One of the best offerings you can give to God is yourself. He seeks…

Did You Know? Trial by Fire Some plants have leaves naturally coated in flammable oils in order to encourage fast, intense fires. Not by accident, these plants have heat-activated seeds that require fire or intense heat in order to open and germinate. This fact reveals the useful purpose that fire is intended to play in nature. But it has not always been viewed this way. Prior to 1910, forest fires burned as much as 50 million acres annually in the…

The saint of Young People As we start February we come to see the fast approaching February 14th, the biggest day to celebrate love. We tend to focus on St. Valentine as the Patron Saint of Love and Happy Marriages, but forget that he is also the Patron Saint of Young People. This part tends to be overlooked due to the commercialization of the 14th of February and ironically enough, this group tends to be the least engaged in a…
