Living It

Psalm 23 The LORD is my shepherd. I am never in need. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside peaceful waters. 3 He renews my soul. He guides me along the paths of righteousness for the sake of his name. GOD'S WORD ® is a copyrighted work of God's Word to the Nations. Quotations are used by permission. I have been thinking recently about what I believe. There are some things I quite simply have formed an opinion and I believe what I believe. Sometimes unquestioningly. I like simple language, so I am not really a into theological arguments. There are also other times when I know that I have said that we need to raise our expectancy and expectations and ask questions. We have all heard of having a child like faith. Sometimes that people think that means having a simple faith. I am not so sure of that....I have a 5 year old that can have some very profound questions. We have a relational God that wants us to be co-workers. Surely it makes sense t...

The LORD will continually guide you and satisfy you even in sun-baked places. He will strengthen your bones. You will become like a watered garden and like a spring whose water does not stop flowing.

Come to think of it, I had mixed emotions - right up to the night before I left, I was having "frank" conversations with God abou...

For the past 3 weeks, I have been away in Germany. I have been in Herrnhut at a conference, called DNA Infusion. As a part of that, we were taught about Leonhard Dober and the Moravian community. Leonhard Dober was trained as a Potter. When he was 19 years old he joined the Moravian community in Herrnhut. He later became the first missionary to be sent out in 1732. In order to do that he sold himself into slavery. When people at the dock heard what he and his colleague were doing, they asked them why...Their response was "May the Lamb was slain is worthy to receive the reward of His suffering." In other words....because Jesus is worth it. I have had so much teaching in the last few weeks, it is hard to know where to even begin, however I would say that to remember our heritage is a good way to start. These young men gave up their freedom to answer the call of God on their life. Two questions I have are 1)What new or fresh thing is God calling me to get involved with? 2)What o...
