Which Bible Translation

We often find someone getting worked up over which Bible is being quoted. For example, one may push the King James version as the more correct one, while another is happy reading the NIV. These differences will exist. But if we look down on someone else, God cannot be pleased. An overly watered-down version of... Continue Reading →

Where Religion Is Real

There are many different takes on religion. Those who profess having it usually have very strong opinions. We also defend our opinions with deliberate force. The reason for this is that it touches the most vital aspects of our existence. But there is something we should all remember. We could spend our whole lives teaching... Continue Reading →

The Essential Humble Heart

Christian´s today place too much emphasis on an intellectual understanding of God. It is an important step in that we need to be aware of who God is. But it will never show us what meeting Him is like. That is reserved for the few who will press forward in spirit. We are creatures with... Continue Reading →

How to Step Out in Faith

Some may wonder how we can step out in faith when we cannot see a clear path before us. The dilemma is one every believer will surely come to, and quite possibly every day. Yet the problems and the difficulties lose their weight where God is. We will be tempted to see our limitations and... Continue Reading →

Letting the Spirit Take Over

We fail to see because we are finite and have limitations. Unfortunately, we cannot see that each should be striving for more of the Holy... Continue Reading →

The Occasional Prayer

Most religious people try to find a few moments of the day to spend in prayer. Some set specific times away for it. A few might shoot prayers up all through their day. But did we ever stop to think about what God might want? Our dealings with God are not a game. We cannot... Continue Reading →

The Garden of Life

We can view our life on Earth in many different ways, and how we view it can shape how we live. If we listen to modern trends, we will be tempted to own, control, or use life to get what we want. But if we care about the God who designed our world and these... Continue Reading →

Tuned to God, Tuned Together

As we grow closer to our Lord and Savior, we come closer to those of the same goal. It is a truth that we don´t give much attention to these days. But our earthly walk would look much different if we were all looking at Christ more. There would be fewer differences of opinion. Or,... Continue Reading →
