It Starts Small

  • Jingling of the Bells

    This morning I am continuing my writing about Aaron’s robe in Exodus chapter 28. Yesterday I wrote about the symbolic importance of linen. Linen represented us giving up all control, desires and doing our own thing our own way. There’s another bit of symbolism in Aaron’s robe: the bells. 33 And…

  • Are you wearing your Best?

    It has honestly been a struggle to read parts of the Old Testament. At the moment I am in Deuteronomy. I am following a one year plan that has Old, New and a portion of either Psalms and Proverbs each day. I really enjoy Psalms and Proverbs and the New,…

  • Two Types of Believers

    I have been studying Acts 8 and sharing what I am learning. I believe that the only way to “arm” ourselves against the wiles of the devil is to better understand him and his ways. Acts 8 gives an interesting account of a man named Simon. Simon tapped into evil…

  • Beware of Devilish Pride in Religion

    Yesterday I wrote about Devilish power corrupting and creating false religions. The danger and how to discern between the Spirit of God and the deceiver spirits in this world. Acts 8 gives us a great example of a man named Simon who had tapped into the power of evil to…

  • The Devil’s Power in Religion

    An interesting question: is the devil for or against religion? I believe the devil loves religion. I believe he uses religion to bring opposition to the Gospel. The book of Acts was the birth place of church. Church is the word we use for the body of believers in Christ.…

  • Spiritual Maturity

    I’ve written about the natural man, the carnal man, and now for the third description of man: the spiritual man. It should be the goal of every Christian to grow and mature and move beyond being babies in Christ. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself…

  • The Carnal Man

    3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:1 Yesterday I wrote about the natural man. The natural man is someone who can not hear or see the things of God because they have not…

  • Marks of the Natural Man

    I have been working, with a couple of really close friends, through the Celebrate Recovery study. It is a study that helps people with addictions, hang ups and hurts. Thankfully I have overcome my addiction to alcohol. I am in the study to deal with hurts and hang-ups. This past…

  • Jesus, My Regulator

    5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: Colossians 3:5 I have spent the last few days writing about how Christ is our all. When we give him all, he returns his all to us. TO make Christ…

  • Jesus Dominates My Affection

    3 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who…
