Overcoming

I think humanity’s worst enemy is moral division. The Devil doesn’t like it when we’re kind to each other. He throws fear, jealousy, envy, pride, egotism, paranoia (same as fear), apathy, discontent, worry (same as fear), inferiority, superiority, greed (especially greed) at us. And everything else he’s got to combat kindness. Satan is a master of moral… Continue reading Overcoming

The Road

“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will… Continue reading The Road

Truth is the MOST important ingredient of Ed’s Art Net… Heck, the whole Universe! I don’t struggle with truth but I struggle with fluid and uncluttered thinking, especially when writing. It’s a gene thing but it’s okay! I think that I’m getting better at writing and I’m feeling better mentally these days. Probably because I… Continue reading Sean of the South

Jesus

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for [some] evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death. But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward and declared, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it… Continue reading Jesus

Foundation

We are one human race made up of billions of INDIVIDUALS. We each have unique thoughts, so having different detail beliefs about God is expected. If we think rationally about one another’s cultural inheritance and respect that we each have unique life experiences. We question the “only Christians make it to Heaven” as possibly self-centered… Continue reading Foundation

Love

Well traveled roads eventually wear out. Sometimes the best path is a new one. Love works when nothing else does. Unconditional love is what Jesus taught. It has always been a mental wrestling match with me that people seem to compete between religions and even within a same religion for who’s the most “right”. Finding… Continue reading Love

Matter of Color

James was the half brother of Jesus Christ. Of all the Bible authors, he may have had has most intimate mortal relationship with Jesus. I think we learn from James what it was like growing up with Christ. “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to… Continue reading Matter of Color

The Plow

“When a farmer plows for planting, does he plow continually? Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil? When he has leveled the surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? Does he not plant wheat in its place, barley in its plot, and spelt in its field? His God instructs him… Continue reading The Plow

Satan

“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 NIV Satan is the great divider. The more we resist life’s evil temptations and make ourselves aware of Satan and his evil ways, the weaker his influence on us. Satan wants us… Continue reading Satan
