As A Man Thinks, So He Is

Image
  This teaching did not come in a moment.  It was shaped over years of learning, unlearning, and slowly seeing life through a different lens than the one I grew up with. As a child, I carried a deep sense of being overlooked and unwanted.  Much of my early years were spent in isolation, and the words spoken to and about me left a lasting imprint on how I saw myself.  I believed I had little value, and that belief followed me into adulthood more than I realized at the time. But God did not leave me there.  In quiet ways over time, from the time I was 11, He began to confront those inner conclusions, not with condemnation, but with steady truth.  Little by little, He began to rebuild what had been broken in how I understood identity, worth, and how I viewed other people.  This teaching flows out of that process.  It is not just ideas written on a page, but the result of a long walk of being corrected, reshaped, and taught by God how to think diff...

Same Cup, Two Views

Image
There is something quietly revealing in the simple question, “Is the cup half full or half empty?”   Most people hear it as nothing more than a saying about attitude, yet Scripture would treat it as something much deeper because it reaches into the way the heart interprets reality.  That is why the Bible spends so much time dealing not only with actions, but with how a person sees things, because the way a person understands life often shapes the way that person lives it. Two people can walk through the same exact season and yet come away carrying entirely different inner worlds... or understandings.  One notices what remains and begins there.  The other notices what is missing and stops there.  One sees room for hope, while the other sees proof of loss.  The outward facts may be closely identical, yet the inward conclusion becomes totally different.  That is why the Bible spends so much time dealing not only with actions, but with perception, ...

The Right to Live

  There is a boundary established before any nation wrote its first law, before any court issued its first ruling, before any human voice debated morality.  That boundary is set by God Himself, and it is this: life belongs to Him and Him alone. Man does not create life .  Man participates in what God alone authors.  From the beginning, Scripture establishes origin, identity, and authority.   Genesis 1:26–27 declares, “Let Us make man in Our image… So God created man in His own image.”   The word tselem means image, likeness, representation , and demuth means form, pattern, resemblance .  Humanity is not random matter.  Humanity is a reflection, bearing the imprint of God’s design. Because of that, human life carries inherent value, not man’s assigned value.  That value is not measured by size, strength, location, or independence. It is established at origin. God then gives a governing principle after the flood, one that forms t...

OF A CLIQUE - HOW ARE YOU TREATING YHWH? (2)

Image
Original (longer) Version from 2020 To God Almighty be the Power, and the Honor and the Glory forever and ever Amen! Hallelujah!!! This is another hard teaching that God gave me as a result of my life’s disappointments, when I was attending a certain church.  He showed me so much while I was studying and writing this after I stopped attending "the brick and mortar churches".  This teaching is inspired by the Holy Spirit.  I know it will bless at least some of you, but never the less... it is the Word of God .  It is my strongest desire to teach and admonish only in God's Love. I also put in just about all the scriptures so that you could conveniently read them herein. However... don't take MY word for it..... study them for yourselves... in your own Bible... I use the King James Version as, at the time of this writing, it is the closest to the original text. It is a long teaching... about as long as if you were in church listening to your pastor's s...
