We, therefore, desire to copy his character and put our feet into his footprints. Be it ours to follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. What saith our Lord himself? “Follow me,” and again, “Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find restContinue reading “Our Faith Progression”

What’s Next?

Until then you can catch up on any posts you missed from Tiny Yet Mighty, Fresh Fire and Hold The Line viaContinue reading “What’s Next?”
Rescue Me!
Rise up and help us; rescue us because of your unfailing love. Psalm 44:26 I’ll admit I’ve had a bit of a rough relationship with God the last few weeks. I have an on-going health issue related to my sinuses. For years I’ve suffered through swollen sinuses, infections, allergies, clogged ears, excruciating headaches and more. I’m in myContinue reading “Rescue Me!”
Fan The Flame
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 2 Timothy 1:6 I remember the day I got baptized. I was 34 years old and at the same time my one year old and 5 year old received the HolyContinue reading “Fan The Flame”
Burn Brightly
Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the Word of life. Philippians 2:15-16 I have to admit in the carrot and stick scenario of motivation I tend to be more of a “stick” motivated person. My fear of punishment or failure outweighs any reward I might be offered. It’sContinue reading “Burn Brightly”
Be A Heart Changer & Soul Saver
Life Lesson #9: Christians are in the job of changing hearts and saving souls.

A Tiny Message #5
If only there were someone to mediate between us, someone to bring us together, someone to remove God’s rod from me, so that his terror would frighten me no more. Job 9:33-34 When we read Paul’s letter to Philemon yesterday it’s clear that he is acting as an intercessor or in Biblical terms a “daysman.”Continue reading “A Tiny Message #5”
Unburdened Your Heart
Lesson #7: Forgiveness of others brings us the blessings of Christ It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus— that I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. Philemon 1:9-10 Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about forgiveness. It keeps poppingContinue reading “Unburdened Your Heart”
A Tiny Message #1
Did you know that Paul was a small, in stature, man? In fact, some of the Corinthian leaders thought less of him because of this. You are judging by appearances. If anyone is confident that they belong to Christ, they should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as they do. 2 Corinthians 10:7Continue reading “A Tiny Message #1”
