(Transformation; School of the Would-be Disciple ~ Part Two) I feel that I should point out, therefore, that if this process is NOT happening in your life, even at a seemingly snail's pace – if you are not being transformed into His image – if you are...
ALL THE WAY OUT! I am very serious. But it may not be what you are thinking, so please bear with me and read carefully. Actually this process has taken quite a few years! Nearly 40! At first I didn't know that I was even hiding! And by the time I realized...
The Creation of Our World, Its Tumble Into Darkness, and Its Redemption Into Light! Part Five. Finally! Many, many years into this tragic history of mankind, He arrived! The Earth-man who would champion all the other Earth-Folk, and get back their Authority...
(Getting The Wrong Idea...) Beside my kitchen sink there hangs a little “Thankful” sign, though Thankfulness has rarely been the end of its design! "Thank God for dirty dishes, (it reads), they have a tale to tell, while others may go hungry we're eating...
The Creation of Our World, Its Tumble Into Darkness, and Its Redemption Into Light! (7 ~ In Which The Earth-Folk Get Another Chance to Choose Life!) We are not told how they passed that next day. But I imagine they spent it very quietly. There seemed...
The Creation of Our World, Its Tumble Into Darkness, and Its Redemption Into Light! As He went about His earthly work, however, of convincing the Earth-Folk that the Law - with which they had been entrusted - was not enough, by itself, to restore them!...
A True Confession, By Sandra Carlton Duncan I have been recently taken to task over my longish blogs, and the nature of them. The fact that many of my posts are somewhat NON-Politically Correct seems to come up a lot. I saw this post and felt that it...
I Dreamed a Dream.... I dreamed a dream in times gone by When hope was high And life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving. Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was...
(The Creation of Our World, Its Tumble Into Darkness, and Its Redemption Into Light!) Part Two ~ The Earth-Folk Choose Poorly.... Now, at first things on this new Earth-Planet were idyllic. The temperature was climate controlled. The food grew, the flowers...
(Part One: Removing the Contradictions/Strongholds Which Block Our Healing) Due to the length of this writing, I am going to break it down into one of my three part instructional blogs. Sorry for the inconvenience, please bear with me! I am receiving...
The Creation of Our World (Its Tumble Into Darkness, and Redemption Into Light!) ONE ~ In The Beginning... As with All good stories, this one also begins with, " Once upon a time. . . ." There was a Creator-God who longed for a world on which to lavish...
The Creation of Our World, Its Tumble Into Darkness, and Its Redemption Into Light! Part Three ~ The Plan Unfolds (In order to fully understand what proceeds, one may need to go read the first two chapters....) We find that the creator had a back-up plan...
(The Creation of Our World, Its Tumble Into Darkness, and Its Redemption Into Light!) Part Four ~ The Light at the End of a Very Dark Tunnel At one point in this history of the Earth-Folk, the Creator-God became so alarmed by the extreme darkness of the...
I think I heard audible gasping on that one! But isn't that what many of our lives scream every day? On a scale of 0-10 where is He in our priority list? Just what spot has He gained on our “Totem Pole” of vital importance? In John 16:33 it is recorded...
I am hearing that the Spirit of God is very concerned with correcting our understanding of "Godly Authority"! Particularly, as it has gotten confused with mere, fleshly, "Control" issues! It comes up a lot in my writing because I have been observing this...
“It is what it is”, now that's something folks say, which generally means – I'm not getting my way, “We're NOT doing wants, today or tomorrow”, “I'm sorry,” life says, “if this causes you sorrow!” Then life hands us lemons, when we wanted a peach, we're...
There is a lot of “anti-church” sentiment, along with much negative rhetoric out there. In ever growing numbers, people are clearly frustrated with what they know to be “church”. More and more people are separating themselves, having washed up empty....
(And … It's Friday Too!) I was pondering some things this morning, like, how we humans tend to sort of misrepresent, or hide, the uglier realities of our lives from those about whom we care – especially those who are, or have been someone to whom we have...
Right out of the gate I want to make a bold statement - If “sorry” is all you feel, then “sorry” is all you'll be! This is both a revelation and an observation from walking on the earth in this sin-encrusted flesh for these many years. And, unfortunately,...
Seriously. I am going to define the concept of "Life". (linked to May the 9th's entry in, "My Utmost for His Highest" 5/8) My dear old mother, being from some very primitive mountain folks, was very superstitious, and she mixed that with her religiosity...
. . . More than I thought I could be, Overcoming much of me. True in testing and in trial, Harried or hurried, still could smile. Everything and everywhere, Responsible for every care. Hastening on through daily grind, Overlooking, never mind. Overcoming...
Isaiah 55:6-7 "Seek the LORD while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked man forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the LORD, and He will have compassion on him, And to our God, for He will...
He said to me, ’Son of man, can these bones live?’ — Ezekiel 37:3 Can a sinner be turned into a saint? Can a twisted life be made right? There is only one appropriate answer— “O Lord God, You know” ( Ezekiel 37:3 ). Never forge ahead with your religious...
Recently we've been to many weddings. This is that a bitter-sweet time of life, as the eaglets all start flying out of the nests, and some begin making nests of their own. Most of the weddings we have attended have been "unique" in that they have been...
Recently it has come to my attention that humans do not actively resist evil enough on a general, day to day, basis. I am speaking largely for myself, but I have noticed it at large as well. I think we rather expect to be able to side-step it, as one...
