TIME OR ETERNITY?
David Teems, an excellent writer of devotionals, has presented an intriguing theory concerning God’s ability to throw our confessed sins into the sea of His forgetfulness. He writes that “God doesn’t operate in the the dimension of ‘time’ like we do; that is, linear, sequential “time”. Our experiences are “past, present, future but God operatesContinue reading “TIME OR ETERNITY?”
Stairway to Heaven
Listening to Exodus on cd, the other day, I heard this Scripture. God is instructing Moses in how to build an altar to the Most High God that no tool should be used on the large stones of the altar. And then God admonishes Moses in 20:25, “Neither should you go up by steps toContinue reading “Stairway to Heaven”
DAILY HEALTH QUOTE
“I only really understand myself, what I’m really thinking and feeling, when I’ve talked it over with my circle of female friends ….. When days go by without that connection, I feel like a radio playing in an empty room” ____Anna Quindlin

This morning I was reading from David Teems, one of my very favorite author’s devotional for the day, TO LOVE IS CHRIST. We Lilies had been comtemplating the wonder and incalculable goodness and wisdom of God and what He has done in just the past day or two, for us, not even to mention allContinue reading “To Love is Christ”

Using difficulty, He cultivated within them a greater appreciation of Himself than ever before. As one commentator put it, ‘God’s presence inContinue reading “Robert J. Morgan…”
Gift of Giving
“Finish what you started and don’t let your good intentions grow stale. You’ve got what it takes to finish your project, your program, your contributions…for you do it in the spirit of what you can do and and can give and not according to what you cannot. Let your heart regulate your hand” This marvelousContinue reading “Gift of Giving”
The Gifts
I have been listening to the Book of 1 Cornithians on cd , narrated by Blair Underwood. His rendering of the Scriptures is excellent and helps reveal nuances that one might miss in one’s silent reading of the Scriptures. As he reads (and I continue to listen repeatedly) Paul’s addressing the issue of the giftsContinue reading “The Gifts”
Armor
I realize that most of our knowledge is an accumulation and compendium of concepts, ideals and truths we have gleaned from the Scriptures, God’s teachers of the Word and life experiences. But the Holy Spirit has been making the following a personal revelation to me. Recently, as I was driving to school (a 32 mileContinue reading “Armor”
