Affirmation of God: I tell what great things God has done for me.
Ok God I get it. Sitting in the woods over the weekend I opened my bible to Mark 5. There Mark tells the story of Legion. The demon possessed man who lived among the tombs with his unclean spirit. We were told “no one could tame him.” “When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him.” Mark 5:6 NKJV. Here is a guy filled with many demons, ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I will run the race God has set before me with perseverance.
The course has been laid out and marked. It’s race day are we ready? Of course we are as we just face it with an expectation of endurance and perseverance.

In the first three chapters of John this morning I am reminded that there is a huge ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I believe.
Jesus asked, "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me?” (John 14:10 NKJ) What’s it gonna be boy yes or no? Ok that was my part but John 14 is making me unusually brief today. God DOES have a sense of humor. You know when your very own mother tells you that your writings are too long and she doesn’t have time to read them. ... Continue Reading »
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 ...
