Ephesians 6 NASV 10Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. 11Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the…
Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. We are at war. The Word says it; we can see it. We are not at war against…
God. That is the answer. There is some incredible, cognizant force directing energy places it should not be. It is God. There is some Order Bringer that started the whole system of order. It is God. There is some evidence in every. single. thing we set our eyes on. It is the evidence of God.…
Still with me? Are you, hopefully, beginning to grasp the immensity of the problem? If you need one more push, consider that, according to some string theorists, there would need to be 10^500 additional universes than this one to explain the incredibly intricate systems of our universe. That is: 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000…
So, how did it go yesterday? Hopefully it made your brain hurt a little. Were you able to picture things like a foot randomly growing out of your ear or your dog turning into a mattress? Of course, even those things are ordered: feet are made of living cells and living cells have to repeat…

The Lord has cattle on a thousand hills. (Psalm 50:10). Every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord (James 1:17). We must not be anxious for food or clothing (Matthew 6:31-32). If we seek Him above all else, He will provide everything we need (Luke 12:31). He will give me everything I need…
A thought occurred... Atheists do not believe in God. Yet, I am pretty sure that if we suddenly found out that aliens invented the Earth and created the animals and humans and plants, they would be ok with it. Let me explain further.... If aliens landed right now and said "This is what we did",…
We are a family of introverts (except for my son, who is the most quiet extrovert you will ever find). We attend a church that I love. I love the mission of the church, the outreach. We have programs and ministries to get out and associate with the people, to care for them and…
One of the most influential books in my life, aside from the Word, is The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence. In fact, I have it on my schedule to try to read once a week on Monday (it is short). Written in the 17th century by a carmelian monk, it is…
