Worried About My Worries

everfaith

We are a people of words.  Words permeate everything we do — even our thoughts are framed in words.  Because we are created in God’s image, and because he chose to give us a written guide beginning with the 10 Commandments, I think words matter to God.  In fact, I know words matter to him.  Jesus said, in Luke 6, The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his … Continue reading Worried About My Worries

Where does faith come from? That question popped in my head today after I read this in Romans 4: Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”[d] 19Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, … Continue reading Fill ‘er up!

Not always EverFaith

everfaith

With a title like EverFaith, one might get the impression that I am faithful always.  But this is an electronic journal, of sorts, and I wouldn’t be honest if I only posted those th0ughts which were faithful and righteous.  That would be a lie — because I am not always faithful, and I am certainly not always righteous. I’m up against a brick wall these days.  I am being pressed and am under some sort of spiritual attack, if my feelings are any indicator of such things. Several months ago, I felt a call to become a director of a … Continue reading Not always EverFaith

A Life That Demands An Explanation

everfaith

I heard a sermon the other day where the pastor quoted this statement: Christians today ought to live a life that demands an explanation. Our lives are to look different than the lives of those around us. Does your life look different? Does mine? This question has generated much discussion in our family. One of the assertions of the author of the Blue Parakeet book (which I finished this morning, yea!) is that not all of Jesus’ commands are applicable to today. I want to explore that assertion by examining for myself Jesus’ commands. I’ll begin in the book of … Continue reading A Life That Demands An Explanation

Out of the mouths of…..donkeys

everfaith

I’m still plodding through the Blue Parakeet book.  I am so frustrated lately because I have started way too many books and can’t seem to make any progress on any of them.  So my new method is to plow through them one at a time.  Since the book club meeting is in early August, I decided to finish the parakeet first. The crux of the Blue Parakeet book is that the author believes women should not be “caged” in the church and should be allowed to be ministers and pastors of churches.  He maintains that many of the commands we … Continue reading Out of the mouths of…..donkeys
