Just a Guy and his Journey Back to God

Send us Fan Mail I'm dealing with my condo this morning. I won't be putting out a broadcast today.   Just a Guy and His World  

Send us Fan Mail To the arrogant I say, ‘Boast no more,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns. Do not lift your horns against heaven; do not speak so defiantly. Psalms 75:4-5 In times of chaos, we need to remember God and His blessings. This is a hymn of praise. It thanks God for the wondrous deeds he has done for Israel. It celebrates the fact that he is the judge of all the earth. He wi...

Send us Fan Mail The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD  - Isaiah 11:2 Let's pray daily for our nation, family and relationship with God. The spoken word is powerful. God spoke the world into existence and in John 1 we read that the Word was with God and the Word w...

Send us Fan Mail O God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture? Psalms 74:1 Do you ever feel like the people in the Bible are blessed because they're so good? Or, do you feel like God hears their prayers but not yours? Psalm 74 and yesterday's, Psalm 73, are examples of people thinking and saying the same things I do! Why does that...

Send us Fan Mail  “‘“The LORD bless you and keep you;  the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;  the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace. ”’ Numbers 6:24-26 I was reading an exposition on prayer and the Easton Bible Commentary began with this statement, "Prayer is converse with God; the intercourse of the soul with God, not in contemplation or meditation, but i...

Send us Fan Mail But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Psalms 73:2-3 Do you ever see the wicked prospering and wonder, "Why are they doing so well and I'm barely surviving?" The Psalmist had the same thought and walks us through his ideas in Psalm 73. This Psalm is very similar to...

Send us Fan Mail Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.

It is the conscio...

Send us Fan Mail “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and w...

Send us Fan Mail “The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!  26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made kn...

Send us Fan Mail Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  8 Finally, brothe...

The spoken word is powerful. God spoke the world into existence and in John 1...

Send us Fan Mail  Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction  and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. Proverbs 1:8 THE BIBLE DOES NOT DESCRIBE how life ought to be. It matches how life is. The wisdom of Proverbs is reality-based counseling as we live in this fantasy-world of human invention. We see the blunt realism of the Bible in Proverbs 1:8-19. Why are we in the book of Proverbs at all? B...

Send us Fan Mail Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. James 5:13-15 Let&...

Send us Fan Mail He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end. Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. Daniel 12:9-10 "Go your way Daniel" hits me as saying, go live your life, I'm in control. My final take away from Daniel is exactly that, I need to live my life for God an...

Send us Fan Mail As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right. But be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you. 1 Samuel 12:23-24 Let's pray daily for our nation, family and relationship with God. The spoken word is powerf...

Send us Fan Mail Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time. Daniel 11:35 Chapter 11 foretells the histories of Xerxes, of Alexander the Great, the division of his kingdom after his death, and the long conflicts between the kings of Syria and Egypt. However, it also mentions that the...

Send us Fan Mail And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Psalms 95:6-7 Let's pray daily for our nation, family and relationship with God. The spoken word is powerful.

Send us Fan Mail Again the one who looked like a man touched me and gave me strength. "Do not be afraid, you who are highly esteemed,” he said. “Peace! Be strong now; be strong.” Daniel 10:18-19 God's message to Daniel is to be strong! God held Daniel in high regard or esteem. God didn't just tell Daniel to suck it up and be strong though! Instead, He literally touched Daniel and ga...

Send us Fan Mail I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the LORD given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes. I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed: Daniel 9:2-4 I look at this example of Daniel and see a man...

Send us Fan Mail After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Matthew 14:23 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” Matthew 26:36 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Mark 1:35 Here&a...

Send us Fan Mail I, Daniel, was worn out. I lay exhausted for several days. Then I got up and went about the king’s business. I was appalled by the vision; it was beyond understanding. Daniel 8:27 As we read chapter 8, a part of me is amazed at how Daniel kept working at his job! With all of the visions and interpretations he did, I wouldn't blame him if he just focused on that one activity,...

Send us Fan Mail When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of them and prayed. Acts 20:36 Let's pray daily for our nation, family and relationship with God. The spoken word is powerful.
