Don’t you love it when you find a scripture that says something you just can not verbalize? This weekend as I sat around a campfire I responded to a sincere question about my addictions. “Is it a daily struggle for you?” I have not thought about that time in my life where it was a minute to minute struggle in quite a while. God YOU are so good and ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: My faith will be shown to be genuine by what I do.
Want to feel alive? What makes our faith alive and complete? How do we go from an abundant heart to an abundant world? Can we just give IT away? What is IT? O brother, James chapter two kind of hits you between the eyes and I am laughing with the Holy Spirit this morning. God you are one funny dude. Hey I can call Him dude can’t I as I just read ...

Affirmation of God: I give thanks to the LORD and praise His name.
What do we have to be thankful for? Let us count the ways. In the Celebrate Recovery Lesson 22 on Gratitude John Baker recommends we create a Gratitude List. First of all, what are we thankful to God for? Can we offer prayers of gratitude to the God who created us? This CR lesson on gratitude took me to Psalm 100. There are only five verses to ...

Affirmation of God: I am free indeed.
Freedom, what is true freedom? True freedom seems to leave out the “but” and “ifs”. What good is it to say we have freedom but live life as though we do not. Freedom without reservation, for me, only comes as Jesus promised in John 8:36 "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” (NKJ). Right now this very moment I am totally ...

Affirmations of God: Christ lives in me and gives me hope.
You just can not make this stuff up. God’s timing His living word is hilarious. Really, agnostics and atheists may debate our scriptures but they can not debate our experiences. This God thing and the timing of His living word are amazing in spite of us. If you have just a few minutes please bear with me. Just in the past few days and hours God ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I have been accepted and set free by Jesus Christ.
I love the way John Baker puts this in the Celebrate Recovery lesson 18 on Grace. The G in the acrostic of Grace stands for GOD’s gift. Mr. Baker says: “Grace is a gift. Grace cannot be bought. It is freely given by God to you and me. Roman’s 3:24 is the source of this affirmation of the day. But God treats us much better than we deserve, and ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I will be what I was made to be.
Wow, God is so very awesome and overwhelming. Give Him the chance and He will blow your mind. God has truly humbled me today. Sometimes God gives us a lot more than we bargain for and makes us realize how very limited we really are. But, at the very same time He builds us up to show how important our little part is. Be all you have and give all ... Continue Reading »
