Walking with God
Posted in Quotes on January 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I was at a men’s conference today, and one of the speakers, Kevin Day, was teaching on Enoch from Heb. 11. He was speaking about walking with God, and said that it was to “choose to go where God wants to take you”. That really spoke to me as I am in a [...]
Earnestly seeking God?

Spiritual growth does not happen by osmosis. Just attending church, or watching a religious program, or any number of activities in and of themselves will not make us fruitful disciples of Jesus. It is God who causes the growth, but we do have our part to play. We need to be those [...]

What kind of an example as a Christian do I set? That is a question which needs some serious thought. What do others see in me? In Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, he points out how they had become an example to the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. I believe [...]
A great reminder

“Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day.” Ps. 119:97 ESV
It would do us good to have His word as our meditation all day long!
My wife emailed this to me at work today. What a great reminder!
