When you don’t know who you are, you unwittingly rely on others to show you, which ultimately turns you into a slave to what other people say and think about you.

Thought for the Day -Undivided Attention
Posted in Heart of "The Father", Opinions, Thought for the Day / Quotes, tagged quality time, undivided attention on October 14, 2018| 1 Comment »
What would it do for you as a parent if your teen aged kid came by to see you, without really needing anything from you, or if they decided to put down their phone because they really wanted to hear what you had to say, or if they passed up an opportunity to go out with friends because they just wanted to spend some quality time with you? I suspect it would do much the same thing for God, if we were willing to do those things for Him.
Thought for the Day – Superior Theology
Posted in Commentaries, Opinions, Thought for the Day / Quotes, tagged good theology, sound doctrine, superior theology on October 1, 2018| 1 Comment »
It’s sadly ironic when we use our presumably superior theology to separate ourselves from those who God wants to reach. By listening to His Father, Jesus often did things that offended the self appointed guardians of sound doctrine. Ultimately, the apostle Paul tells us that unless our faith finds a way to manifest itself as love, it becomes meaningless.
Thought for the Day – All Couples Fight
Posted in Commentaries, Opinions, Thought for the Day / Quotes, tagged couples fight, healthy relationship on October 1, 2018| Leave a Comment »
I’ve heard it said that all couples fight, but I don’t agree. All couples disagree, because no two people see everything exactly the same. And sometimes our emotions get involved and it turns into an argument. But screaming, cursing, name calling, provoking each other, threats, or abuse have no part in a healthy, loving relationship.

Even though God loves you just the way you are doesn’t mean that He doesn’t want to change you. (Rom. 8:29)
Thought for the Day – Control
Posted in Commentaries, Thought for the Day / Quotes, tagged control, self control on September 24, 2018| Leave a Comment »
One of the frustrating aspects of human nature is that we so often try to control things that we have no authority over, while neglecting the one thing God does expect us to control (i.e. ourselves).
Thought for the Day – Identity Theft
Posted in Commentaries, Thought for the Day / Quotes, tagged Jesus on September 19, 2018| Leave a Comment »
The blessings of believing that Jesus is who He said He is are largely forfeited when we don’t go on to believe that we are who He says we are.
Thought for the Day – The Storyteller
Posted in Commentaries, Thought for the Day / Quotes, tagged enemy of our soul, even if, if only on September 17, 2018| Leave a Comment »
The enemy of your soul has a story he’d like to share today. It’s a tale of frustration, failure, and pain. It’s a narrative filled with “if only’s” (e.g. if only this would happen, if only that hadn’t happened), which will always leave you one step away from wherever you want to be. The Creator of your soul also has a story He’d like to share today. It’s a plan of provision, strength and hope. It’s a narrative filled with “even if’s” (e.g. even if that happened, even if this never happens), which will free you from the constraints of your circumstance. Ultimately, the reality of your day will boil down to which one of these narratives you find more compelling. (Deut. 30:19)
Thought for the Day – Self Doubt
Posted in Commentaries, Thought for the Day / Quotes, tagged self-doubt on September 11, 2018| Leave a Comment »
We should never mistake self-doubt for humility. You cannot doubt yourself without also doubting the One who promised to faithfully complete the good work that He’s begun in you.
