Full of confidence to zero confidence in one second flat. We humans are amazingly fickle. Likely to change, no, guaranteed to change. The 14th chapter of Mark is a clear picture of this. Even Jesus when He was living life in the flesh experienced this dichotomy. Jesus is God and He knew He came to die for our sins yet when the time was at hand ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I love.
Stop it God. I can’t take any more of your love. Have you ever said that before? Me neither. However, He has reminded me this morning that His love is flat out overwhelming. This affirmation is very short but really says EVERYTHING. We read in Galatians 5:14: “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I find life in the Word.
Today’s affirmation is taken from John 1:4: In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. Verse 5 shows our natural reaction to this light “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” Can we live but not be alive? In the first three chapters of John this morning I am reminded that there is a huge ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: God is faithful.
How quickly can we turn from God to self? Many days I cringe when writing out these affirmations because of the focus on “I”. One of the basics of “affirmations” is to claim these things in the first person so we take ownership and believe and personalize these character traits of God. However today, as I began to read the scriptures this ... 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 ...

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 »
