It was a warm summer night at the river. Fireflies were flickering their lights and the sound of crickets filled the air. The sun was setting over the water and the orange color of it looked as though it was melting into the distance. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath forgetting my problems if only for a few seconds. This time of year always gave me hope .School was out and gone was the chaos that accompanied it. Pictures of my toes in the sand, book in hand filled my mind. This year however was different for a number of reasons. All our lives were about to change forever. Being creatures of habit it was hard for all of us. Familiarity brought comfort and peace where as change brought uneasiness and questions. O.K. God I thought…Only with you can I get through this without having a nervous…

Regardless of a church’s stance on homosexuality, understanding gay couples and how they view the church may provide some key insights into how this group of people can be better reached with the Gospel.

I ended my last blog by stating that God made man in His own image and even though man is lost he is left with a part of God that we call a conscience. That is true but it doesn't answer the question of how God can hold man responsible if we are as He intended. I think we can all agree that God is allknowing. He knows the past and the future and knew that Adam and Eve would sin before He created them. The question then becomes, Why did God create them as they were, knowing they would sin? Why create mankind, knowing all men would sin? I can't see that there is really any difference as far as the fate of humanity is concerned wether God planned everything to be as it is or knew everything would be as it is. God knows who will be saved…

In this fourth part of the series, we will look at the role of gifts and talents.8. The Role of Gifts and TalentsOur God is a good and gracious God who causes the rain to fall on the just and unjust. He gives good gifts to all men (and women). When we speak of gifts and talents, we must distinguish between those gifts and talents with which we are blessed at birth, and Spiritual Gifts.a.

In this third part of the series, because of its complexity, we will look at only one of the remaining six ways God leads and guides His children.7. The Role of Circumstance Opened and Closed DoorsThrough Scripture and church history, God has freely used His sovereign power over events and circumstances to lead His people. Esther's father reminded her that perhaps she was placed in the circumstance that she found herself in because God had meant it to be (Esther 4:1214). David was trained for kingship and taught to rely on God as a shepherd boy. Through a sequence of…

After finishing with my clothing I returned to the living room and started watching the news channel on cable. It dawned on me my brother had been gone for quite some time. I looked out of my bedroom window which faces the parking lot; I did not see them by the car. So, I returned to the living room, more time passed my brother and Dewayne had not returned, I started to become a bit concerned, but I knew in my heart my brother was fine. As more time passed and finally my brother returned to the apartment, when he entered the living room, he had a perplexed look on his face. I looked behind him, no Dewayne; I asked my brother, where was Dewayne and what on earth was wrong with him? He just stood there like he was in shock, he said that he went to the car…

In the first part of this series, Determining God's Will A Very Real and Attainable Thing! (Part 1), I introduced the three underpinning foundation stones that MUST gird all our attempts to determine God's will in all that we do, be they big or small. They were: , Verification Against The Word of God, The Place of Prayer, The Role of the Holy Spirit, Our CounselorIn this installment, I will introduce 3 of the 9 remaining means through which God has demonstrated how He guides His people as revealed in His Word. Before I continue however, I want to touch on a very important understanding that we must all arrive at.I am sure that some may have wondered why I did not list in my 12 elements, feelings and intuition. The reason is quite simple really, God works through us and communicates with us through our senses. It is how…

By Jewel TylerWhen I turned the corner that lead to my apartment complex, I noticed a young man standing at the bus stop, with no coat on. I thought to myself, oh my God sweetie, don’t you know that no buses run this time of morning and where is his coat?I had been contemplating with myself if whether or not I was simply going to head home or stop and fill up my gas tank, because the gas station was right at the corner behind the bus stop where this gentleman was standing.The Holy Spirit spoke ever so softly to me, fill up your gas tank now. Well, I was not going to be disobedient; I pulled into the gas station and pulled up to the pump. There was a line at the window of people paying for gas and other items. I was startled by a young man asking…

I have not wanted to write this blog, I have pushed it back until I can no longer. I wonder if we are trying to contain God in to small a box. We question the power of the Holy Spirit, we question things like healing, prophesy, tongues, and being slain in the spirit. I have heard many say these things you speak of are of things from the past, but not for the modern church. See I just cannot find that scripture in the Bible.We call prophesy white magic, isn't that taking the power of God out of it? What are we so afraid of. Before you get your fingers warmed up to reply I will add that yes we must discern within ourselves what is being said. Prophesy is for the edification of the church, so tell me why are we so afraid. It seems that this gifting above…

Is is possible to determine God's will for us in our lives and in everyday living? The answer is an unequivocal YES and Scripture has outlined 12 ways that this is done. I am posting this blog because recently Brother Lineman (Dan) posted How can I know God's will for me? and it reminded me of a Bible study series that I conducted last year. Due to its length, I decided to post my response as a separate blog. I highly recommend that you read Brother Dan's blog as well!If we were to do a study of the many ways that Scripture has shown us how God reveals His will to us we will find the following:1. Verification Against The Word of God Scripture is God's revelation of God's heart and His universal will in how we should live and conduct ourselves. When faced with a decision, we should ask…

As they walked silently side by side the man began to ponder life and death and the prospect of what could possibly await a man in Heaven. He turned to the Lord and said, I have done many things in my life, some unbearable for most men, I have held a dying child and felt helpless because I could not save her. I have fought hand to hand with the figure of death and looked down at him desiring for him to get back on his feet and waiting for the storm. I have hidden many of my fights from those who love me and I have sinned. I know I fall far short of being much more than I hoped I would be. Of these things my Lord I…
