Heavenly Rewards for the Righteous

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

There is a system of balances found in the Scriptures when it comes to rewards (but not to salvation which is a gift.) Quality works performed for the glory of God to win the souls of men, when tested and found genuine, will earn crowns for the faithful for all eternity. They are likened to […]

Be a friend.

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

No one lives a life of ease
Even those with great wealth
can be vacant of friends
Finding a good friend is
a worthy endeavor indeed
Someone who allows you to be
who you are
and lets you let them be, too
Struggles in the world abound
It is the substance of “life”
It’s easier when you approach
it with a friend.
Be a friend to someone […]

How salty are you?

Salt.
It’s a great curative,
though when rubbed in a wound
it burns terribly
but it heals
and kills infection
It also adds flavor
to food/sustenance
it improves the experience
of eating
The salt on the food
still helps heal
while it’s improving
the taste, result
Those that love God
have been considered to be
salt of the world
how we choose to use
this attribute
is up to us.

God is just fine
knowing
you have to have Him
to live a good life.
Shed your guilt,
and self condemnation
from when you can’t do
something on your own.

Careful what you say

The breath of God flows through
the believer.
It can also flow through the
believer to another.
One way this can be is
by the spoken word.
God spoke creation into being.
Both the science of psychology
and quantum physics show
that we, too, have such power.
Cognitive behavior therapy
allows us to prove to our own selves
that by changing our thinking,
(what we tell ourselves)
we change […]

in His hand

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

Who hasn’t come across someone
who writes things on their hand
to remember them?
Perhaps you do this yourself!
Often, it’s someone’s name,
so they won’t forget it.
It’s important.
Did you know that
God has your name
written on His hand?
You’re important to Him,
and He won’t forget you.
