When we have peace with Christ as Lord obediently living in His will, we can also enjoy the peace of Christ. That’s when He rules without rival in our hearts.. regardless of who comes against us. That’s when thankfulness and praise overflows unto God the Father. Yes, even in the…

Why and what are you going to do in that? Are we supposed to count it all joy even when in a storm, in a testing time, or in a trial? (See James 1:2)? Uhh yep, we must evaluate these difficulties in life with eyes of faith and see them in light of Christ’s good purpose for us. 1.) What are the protecting storms? That’s the kind of storm the disciples experienced on the Sea of Galilee (this time from a real storm out in nature). Remember the time after Jesus performed His most popular miracle to date: Free lunch, the feeding of the…

“He (Jesus) came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical…

The Lord is SO good at meeting the needs of people who pray. Any needs! Q: Do you look to God daily to meet all of your needs, or none of them, or just some of them? — Thanksgiving — let’s express some gratitude all year round! Aren’t thanks, praise, and different prayers something that we offer up to some nameless cosmic force out there just hoping that Karma or something will help make things better in our lives? Nope, we are to offer it to the One who gives life (yes to the Father in…

They said, Kurt, “Hurt people hurt people, and healed people ..heal people.” Like that. I think I know what they mean. Sadly, many hurt people do that.. when they instead can choose to be changed and behave wisely.. constructively, act positively instead of acting sinfully.. very negatively. For some crazy-twisted…

Look around you, I respectfully challenge you to repent and live rapture-ready. OLD WORD AND CONCEPT, GOOD FOR OUR NEW NOW.. TODAY. Is that possible? Yep. Repentance is agreeing with God about one’s sin and taking the appropriate steps to ditch sin. It’s about change. There’s an initial vital need for honest confession and true repentance, and then an ongoing need for both in the life and walk of a believer. Along with saving faith, this is imperative for you and me! Do…

Won’t fret! Don’t you either, Buckeroo. When the outlook ain’t good, ain’t gettin’ any better.. try thee uplook. God’s still has a good plan for you. Uhh, He’s made a way for me thus far (feel grateful) and He can easily do that for you as well. (Q: Man, I can’t really be a Donny-Downer-pessimist.. if it can be done by One, who has done it before, and I’m already a full optimist ..can I be?)…

It’s about a very interesting subject. How does it go? Like this… Dear Utticus, Our preacher said that Jesus didn’t really die on the cross. He just swooned and His disciples just nursed Him back to health. What do you think? Sincerely Bewildered. Utticus responded with: Dear Bewildered, Beat your preacher with a cat of nine tails with 39 heavy strokes, nail Him to a cross, hang Him in the sun for 6 hours, run a spear through His gut and heart, embalm Him, and put him in an airless tomb for 36 hours and see what happens. Sincerely, Utticus.

He makes a way cuz he is the way. The only way I want. He’s got good news for you that’ll do more inside than merely edify.. if you let it/Him. Yep, invite! If you are tempted, He will show you the way of escape. Sprint like Joseph. “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God…
