Living the Ruth Life in an Eve World: Being Loyal or Being Self-Centered

So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she threshed the barley she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah. Ruth 2:17 NIV In today's society loyalty takes on a very different meaning for the Christian woman. We have to loyal to our family, our friends and our church. W… Continue

Victorious Freedom 2

2 Corinthians 7:9-11 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, wh… Continue

Children who are gifted have special needs, too...

Recently a Twitter friend asked me if I had any information about behaviour in children identified as Gifted and Talented. My mind immediately went back to the late 90s, early 00s when I was helping to coordinate the Gifted and Talented Support group in a country area.

Victorious Freedom

John 14:1-3 1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. This life we live to the glory and praise of our God is not in vain. There truly is a ransom for your soul and a reward for enduring all the bitter trials we must… Continue

Scriptures Or Magisterium? - A False Dilemma

By Dr. Denis O'Callaghan Question: Have you ever wanted to be so sure about something that it stopped you in your tracks? Kind of like a deer staring into the lights of an oncoming vehicle. I am in that sort of predicament. On the one hand I have the Scriptures which I read from on a daily basis and the Spirit of God to lead me. On the other hand I have this Church that basically says, "Just do what I say." I am at a standstill. The one thing that really get to the crux of the whole issue is au… Continue

Simplicity is Not Always Best

Proverbs 27:11-12 11My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me. 12A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished. Prudent- subtle, shrewd, crafty, sly, sensible Simple- simplicity, naivete adj. simple, foolish, open-minded Have you ever been traveling in your car when for no reason you could know in the natural the hair on the back of your neck stands out and you feel some sensation tell… Continue

THE MISSIONARY- Chapter three- part one

3 GOD HAS SPOKEN Day two-Brad stirred, almost slipping from the edge of his bed, his initial reaction was to search for his missing goggles. A quick probing of his hand, informed him that they had slipped to his upper forehead. Swinging his legs over the edge of the bed, he caught the shotgun before it fell to the floor. He slid the goggles back into place, immediately closing his eyes at the brilliance of the room, due to the night vision still functioning. With a swift adjustment of the knob… Continue

Revival it starts with me !

Now Isaiah was known in Israel as a great prophet of the Lord. He must have had a reputation as a gentleman, a solid citizen, and a man of God. He probably got out of bed that morning feeling just fine about his standing with the Lord. But what seemed acceptable in the dim light of earth suddenly became unacceptable in the fiery radiance of heaven. In that mighty river of pure light that flowed from God's throne, Isaiah looked at himself and was utterly appalled. He saw the ugly stains on his… Continue

The Medium

When I look back I can clearly see God's Hand protecting and guiding me Throughout my life; throughout all the years Edging me on in spite of my fears. Even while I was still lost to Him; Even though I was still bound by sin God was preparing; orchestrating; Sorting my life while He was waiting. As an example I'd like to tell Of the time when a demon from hell Spoke through a medium who claimed she 'knew' Many things I was going to do. 'This' and 'that' was going to happen; On and on that wom… Continue

Standing in the Gap

Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Beloved, be prepared at all times. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. Our enemy, the devil, is gaining more and more control in this present world. As more and more people become deceived and influenced by the hardships we all must endure our lives will seem more difficult. The paths we must take will appear to be riddled with… Continue

The Crown of Life

Job 32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding. Sometimes I get it right away. And sometimes it takes a while for things to sink in. When the Father brought this verse back to my remembrance a coupe of evenings ago I knew right away what He was telling me. I was concerned that I was losing it. After almost six years of writing “The Daily Devotional” I have been having more and more difficulty coming up with new topics and fresh manna f… Continue

THE LIFE OF A WRITER

THE LIFE OF A WRITER I see myself as a writer; procrastination and writer's block fill my space along with paper and pen. On good days I write unstoppable... on bad, not one word flows through my inky vains. I sift through rejections slips and wonder AM I a writer? Yes, I AM. Words continue to twist and form in my head. I may go days withone putting a single word on paper, but stored in my head are a thousand words looking for escape. I consider myself an eclectic writer. I love to write! It… Continue

Consider the Alternative

Live your life like there is no tomorrow. Who knows, for many, tomorrow never comes. How many times have you promised yourself you were going to tell someone about your relationship with Jesus? How many times have you passed up opportunity after opportunity to do just that? Don’t let another opportunity pass you by. God is counting on you. He sent you to tell others in your realm of influence. He gave you a unique story to tell. Nobody else has your story or your specific personality to be able… Continue

The Ascent of Miss Ann Watt

The Mystery of Ormonde I was born Carl Robert Halling at 3.50 in the afternoon of 7 October 1955 at the tail end of West London’s Goldhawk Road which is a bit of a no-man’s-land inasmuch as it’s the only part of the road – prominently featured Franc Roddam’s 1979 film of the Who’s “Quadrophenia” - not to bisect Shepherds Bush, being officially in Hammersmith, but considered by some to be part of the more bourgeois area of Chiswick. My first home was a small workman’s cottage in Notting Hill, bu… Continue

1 The Gambolling Baby Boomer

Birth of a Rock and Roll Child I was born Friday 7 October 1955 at the tail end of West London's Goldhawk Road and my first home was in Bulmer Place near Notting Hill Gate. My brother was born two and a half years later, by which time my parents had bought their own house in Bedford Park in what was then the London Borough of Acton. Built by Norman Richard Shaw, Bedford Park was the world's first Garden Suburb. By the 1880s it was a Bohemian centre for intellectuals and artistic free-thinkers i… Continue
