  My Thoughts On . . . . TEMPTATION.                     

It’s everywhere. I’m not saying anything you don’t already know. It’s in everything and everybody. For whatever reason, if someone or something wants it, there is a way to get it, obtain it and manipulate it into being taken. Temptation is fueled by greed, selfishness and obsession, with sole purpose of having something using any means…

Recovery Tip For The Week

Recovery Tip For The Week

      Tip For This Week: Try Journaling.

Trying to remember everything we do can be nerve wrecking to some point in recovery because we want to try to retain all we ought to do. Having something challenging as journaling, writing things down, can bring understanding and clarity in what we’re doing, and also bring reflection as to see how we are progressing. Journaling makes our efforts plain and…

My Daily Devotion "So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.

An Encouraging Quote “God will invade. But I wonder whether people who ask God to interfere openly and directly in our world quite realize what it will be like when He does.

My Daily Devotion "Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

My Daily Devotion "You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you.

An Encouraging Quote

  “The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide; but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience.”

    Some Thoughts on . . . . Regaining Lost Trust.

Once trust has been lost, it’s one of…

An Encouraging Quote

  “Let us, however, take heed that our separateness from the world is of the same kind as our Lord’s. We are not to adopt a peculiar dress, or a singular mode of speech, or shut ourselves out from society. He did not so; but He was a man of the people, mixing with them for their good.”

Recovery Tip For This Week

Recovery Tip For This Week

    Tip for This Week . . . . Avoid Isolation.
