I Respond

Thank you, Lord, for bringing me to the 
place where love can knock at the door
of my heart.  O Father, do not let
me be afraid.  I shall not resist your
affectionate touch.  Let me, O Lord,
have the spirit of a little child and
dare to respond and run with open arms to 
your call of love.
Amen.

My Walk

O God, I'm inspired.
For you have just impressed
this truth into my mind:
The most powerful force in the world
is a positive idea in the mind of a 
believer who is walking in your will!
I now reach forth my life and say,
"God, put my life into the center of
your will."
Amen.

Theological Term of the Day


Free Knowledge


The free act of God’s will where he, after his free act of creation, knows all things that are going to happen and that this knowledge is contingent upon his free creative will. Therefore, the free knowledge of God would be different if he had chosen a different creative fiat. In other words, because God created one possible existence instead of another, the range of his knowledge regarding actual existence would have been different had he created something different in the first place. (See also Natural knowledge and Middle Knowledge.)

Patiently Waiting

I Am Waiting

Thank you, Lord, for your messages

that come from the deepest, unexplored,
unfathomable seas of silence.
Through beautiful, positive thoughts
you come into my mind.
Oh, Lord, it is going to be a great day!
I am waiting.  I am ready.
I am listening.  I will move.
Amen.

Four Spiritual Laws


The Four Spiritual Laws are a compilation of the broad gospel message intended to be be delivered and understood in four basic steps.  They are:
  1. God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life, John 3:16; 10:10
  2. We have all sinned and are separated from God, Rom. 3:23; 6:23
  3. Jesus is the only way to be forgiven of our sins and find God, John 14:6
  4. We must personally received Jesus as Savior and Lord, John 1:12
These four are basic guidelines and are often used as a guide to explain the gospel message.  As the presenter delivers the information he/she will expand on each point.
Not all Christians agree that the fours spiritual laws are sufficient.

Today's Prayer

"Possibility Thinkers"

Lord, when I face a mountain,
do not let me quit!
Give me the strength to keep on striving
until I climb over,
find a pass through,
or tunnel underneath.
And if my best efforts fail,
give me the patience to stay
and the perception to see
the possibilities
of turning my mountain into a goldmine
with your help.
Amen.
