Another of God's opportunities for good works is always around the corner, maybe one of his children is living in a sleeping bag with a shopping cart full of their current belongings needing your love and supp...

Waiting patiently for the Lord is a challenge to us selfish humans so let's explore Carlo Walth's guide on Waiting so that we may come into alignment with what God intended for us.

What have we learned in church about Waiting. In my church we talk very little about Waiting but is it important in our relationship with Jesus?

Living a Christ centered life is the highest honor of human life. The self centered life is the opposite. Come lets talk about how to achieve this using Carlo Walth's Abiding Guide through the Mentoring Sacred Arts series.

Let us bath in the joy of Abiding in the Cross. Let us crucify the self-centered life. "Lay aside every sin...fix your eyes on Jesus...who for the joy...endured the Cross" Hebrews 12:1-2. We are wrapping up the power of Abiding in Christ through the power of the Spirit using Carlo Walth's Abiding Guide. You can find that and others at Mentoring Sacred Arts.com if you choose to go on a FREE mentor/...

John said, "Christ came to take away sins". Abiding not sinning is our central theme today. Carlo Walth's Abiding Guide from the Mentoring Sacred Arts series shows us the way.

Abiding not sinning! This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine! Shine with Michael and I and a very special guest Scott Geiger. Scott joined me in studio to talk about how the Podcast has led him to a Mentoring Sacred Arts journey to Christ. Scott and I go back 42 years and it is so wonderful to discuss Christ together. Quite a change from our teen days!

Carlo Walth's Abiding guide teaches us that to no matter what, come to Jesus NOW. Now is the right time. Cast aside embarrassments of sin and come to him now. Andrew Murray explored these concepts well over a 100 years ago and now Carlo makes them simple for the rest of us. 

Let's dig into the slight differences of discussing Abiding Moment by Moment and Abiding Day by Day. Why is day by day important when you are Abiding moment by moment? We see in Exodus chapter 16 the importance of our daily bread.  The Holy Spirit gives us enough strength to Abide in him for a day if we ask for it and believe it, just as God served the Israelites enough bread, or manna, for a day....

Abiding Every Moment is a lofty yet attainable goal with the Holy Spirit's help and only with his help. How many times have we "tried harder" only to fall short. Maybe choose a different path and rest in the arms of Jesus. Let him drive the car, be humble not just to God but to man, be patient to God and man, and maybe stop talking so much and listen for God and man. Abiding is not a burden it is...
