My good brother Samuel at A Lion Has Roared wrote this thought of his down which also gave me much to think about.
I have often said: “He who thinks little of God in his time thinks very little of God in his heartâ€; I still hold to that tenaciously. However, I would today, reiterate it with greater potency. Indeed, he who thinks little of God in his life, that is, he who does not pray but now and then; who does not read the Word of his acclaimed Father but under compulsion; who does not ponder the Truth on a daily basis and humbly surrender himself to It; he is a man who will not merely think of God less often than he could, but one who will not consider God correctly when he most desperately needs the God he knows so inconsiderably.
How can I honestly claim a Friend, Father and Savior to Whom I seldom speak, and worse, to Whom I never listen?
That man is me on so many occasions…

Back when I was learning to drive, I “discovered” a pretty nifty extension that the instructors use to have over-riding control of the car — they had the brake pedal extended to the passenger side of the car to immediately stop the car should anything go wrong.
My recent posts on how Christians should not take their pastors’ words as they are but to search the Scripture for themselves had some people misunderstand that I don’t advocate supporting and loving our pastors.
Foreword: I thought I’d give a little background into how this testimony came about, because it simply demonstrates how often God works wonderfully in us and there’s only goodness when we submit to His will.

Thank you, everyone, who has remembered me and the pain I was going through in your prayers!
During His ministry on earth, our Lord Jesus Christ cleansed a good number of lepers as recorded in the Gospels. Perhaps the best-known and oft-preached story of such cleansings is in the account of the 10 lepers:
The advertising adage that sex sells is taken to new extremes today — if you can’t think of some refreshing concept for a product or service, just slap on a nude female form (cover it in some cloth or put it in silhouette so that it passes the censors though) and there’ll be many who will notice it.
We often think of idols as graven images of humans or animals fashioned by machines or human hands and which people worship.
Six years ago on this date, September 11, more than 3,000 people lost their lives in a matter of minutes as two commercial jet airliners crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.
I have to admit: I have never ever fasted. Not once, not even for a short duration of time.

How many of us Christians pray and always say “Let it be your will, Lord, not mine” and really mean it?
