The more of the Bible I memorize, the more I want to memorize. The more of the Bible I memorize, the more I’m able to memorize due to the miraculous multiplication of mental/intellectual capacity as discussed in detail on the home page. What do these to add up to? This: more than ever I deeply […]
Each year around this time some of us receive a rebate from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). But they aren’t really giving you money. Rather, they’re simply giving you BACK a (small) portion of that which YOU have already given to them! And that’s EXACTLY how it is with us and God! You see, we […]
I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to say that the Lord has graciously granted me to finished memorizing then reciting on video the book of 2 Peter. 4 books done, 62 to go! It was a rich blessing. Full of warnings, yes, but by far the biggest blessing so far from this book […]
I don’t mind “tough” decisions, at all, but I just LOVE really easy ones. Slam dunks. No-brainers. My favorite of all time is 2 Corinthians 5:21 – God’s plan of salvation for Christ to “be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” What a deal! What an offer! He’ll […]
When people learn that I’m already well on the way to memorizing the ENTIRE BIBLE and have dedicated the rest of my life and all of my life savings to this, many (mistakenly) make the assumption that I’m some sort of super-saint. Nothing could be further from the facts because the truth is that the […]
The best-known location of the spiritual growth continuum is probably 1 John 2:12-14: little children > young men > fathers. But another one I’ve discovered in recent years and just love is this: “Remember Jesus” > “Consider Jesus” > “Fixing our eyes on Jesus” (in 1 Timothy 2:8, Hebrews 3:1, and Hebrews 12:2) (If I […]
In a recent post I focused on God’s loving sovereignty, which – if focused upon – will render anxiety in one’s daily life virtually nonexistent. No joke, no exaggeration. This will be a running theme in this online journal/blog, for that very reason, because it IS so utterly bedrock and beneficial and blessing in nature, […]
Ever since I put my faith in Jesus Christ and Him alone for my eternal salvation, I’ve hated sin. 100%. I wish I could say I’ve also avoided it 100% but of course that would be a lie worthy of the devil himself. But even the most black-and-white, zero-grey-areas person I’ve ever heard of, the […]
Just a few weeks ago we celebrated Christmas. Probably my favorite time of the entire year. (Other than the weather. =) And my favorite holiday along with Easter and Thanksgiving and Independence Day. (Interesting how they all share a common thread, eh?) Anyway, back to Christmas, the main thing is of course the fact that […]
Thanks to the explosion of cable television channels, shows from decades ago are readily available to entirely new generations. Including one titled Father Knows Best. While the producers of that show probably didn’t realize it, they actually affirmed one of the most basic but bedrock biblical doctrines. As punctiliously and properly propounded in a previous post, […]
