Politics, Bullies and Manipulators:


If you can pull yourself back emotionally you will see that some politicians and leaders use these tactics while acting like victims. 

They accuse others of the very tactics they use and proclaim self righteously that these tactics are wrong. They use name calling and act like they really care about the very people being mistreated by them..
The question is will we see it the next time they try it and will we stand against the darkness?

Revealing our heart and interactions with the king of the universe


Psalms in God’s Presence: Through Songs and Prayers.
The Rose Publishing pamphlet, “Psalms in God’s Presence,” reveals an unbridled passion for God and Life. It is an open door to our thoughts, transparently revealing our mind, will and emotions as we engage God in daily life. It is as if God was saying that he prefers relationship with us above all else. The good, the bad, and the ugly in our hearts is exposed in the context of our relationship to our creator and heavenly father.
"Psalms in God’s Presence" is concise as it examines the background and content of the psalms. Their content, structure and even their revelation of Jesus are clearly laid out. In what is a most helpful section, the author examines the different approaches to reading the Psalms. These include devotionally, theologically and in community. 
While all of these elements are useful, there is no greater truth revealed than through the personal interaction between God and David. These demonstrate that we too can have an open and intimate walk with God and that God desires a relationship with us in all of life’s circumstances.

Biblical Discipleship


What does Discipleship look like in real life? There are many good books about Discipleship and being a God Pleaser. But before you run out to buy them you should check with “the author and finisher of our faith”, Hebrews 12:2.

While we are to be a part of a local church and respect God’s appointed leaders we also have an individual responsibility to be growing in God’s Grace and Power. The reality is that authors and church leaders are examining the Bible, church history and other sources to write their books.

We are told to study to show ourselves approved of God in 2 Timothy. 2:15.
You and I have a great task, which God desires we succeed at described in Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” If we are not becoming Biblical Disciples we will not be making Biblical Disciples.

Philippians 2:12 “Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear.”

If you read the Bible from Cover to Cover you will discover what a good disciple or person after God's heart lives like. Then it is up to us to submit ourselves completely to God so that we may be conformed to His image.

When Does Discipleship Start


For Us Discipleship Starts as God prepares our heart so that when we hear the Gospel we say yes to Him as Lord and Savior! For God it started before the foundation of the world.

Biblical Discipleship



Biblical Discipleship is not complicated; it needs no new phrase to understand it. It does however require that we study the gospels and both observe and listen to Jesus.

DISCIPLESHIP



JESUS IS CLEAR ABOUT MAKING DISCIPLES ARE WE?

Matt. 28:18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
