'Quiet Time' from Kasia Kedzia
Two Steps Forward and One Step Back Often times in a given situation we know what the right thing to do is and we do it, but the question is why. I recently began to recognize the difference between doing the right thing because I intellectually know it is the right thing to do versus doing the right thing out of a deep desire to please and know God. When

'Word from Scotland' from Sandy ShawOriginally posted Mar 8, 2010
When Jesus Speaks To His Disciples He is Clear And SpecificIn Luke Chapter 22 at verse 7, Jesus asks Peter and John to go and prepare the Passover Meal. Jesus is aware of all that is going on, and the meeting place is to be kept as secret as possible. Jesus has to have one last evening with His disciples, and until the teaching has been given, nothing and no-one will be allowed

'Dose of Truth' from Brent BarnettOriginally posted Mar 8, 2010
In the World But Not of ItIt is not easy being in a fallen, corrupt world, especially as believers. Temptations are everywhere, persecution is on the increase, and those who hate Jesus continue to multiply. Even Lot, who was not the most shining Christian example, testified to just how oppressing and tormenting it was to be around the

''Christ in You...'' from Dale KrebbsOriginally posted Mar 7, 2010
Knowing And GrowingPure objectivity in growing is practically impossible, even for the deeply converted Christian. All that is spoken, written, or thought is passed through the prism and filter of personal experience, shaped within a fallen world, inherited from one generation to another, and ruled by an invisible entity. All is shaded, colored,

'Can God Get Glory from My Life?' from Dominique HendersonOriginally posted Mar 7, 2010
Lessons Learned in the Dry Place—Part 3 of 4 God is Sovereign—what does that mean? When someone says that “God is sovereign”, what do you think of? Do you think of someone who is able to do what he wills and wishes without the interference of anyone? I think that is a good definition of the word. In my dry place, this

'Refreshment in Refuge' from Gina BurgessOriginally posted Mar 7, 2010
Where in the world do you see God?That question was asked in the Studylight forums this past week. It is a very thought provoking question. What declares God in this world? David tells us that His handiwork declares Him in Psalm 19. Isaiah reminds us that we are his handiwork in chapter 64. Paul talks about the testimony of the world and the universe

'Thoughts of a saint and slave' from Sam IsaacsonOriginally posted Mar 6, 2010
Galatians: Paul accepted by the apostlesI find this passage fascinating. It details Paul's Christian walk after he'd been preaching the gospel for about 17 years.
'Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those l

Are You “…being transformed into His likeness…”? 2 Corinthians 3:18
The seriousness of this attempt and the effort needed to achieve it is indicated by several scriptures. “Those who belong to Jesus Christ have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.” Gal. 5:24 “I have been crucified with Christ, and I

'Chip Shots from the Ruff of Life' from Tom KellyOriginally posted Mar 4, 2010
There Is No SubstituteIt's December. The air is colder. The rain is coming much too frequently. The wind is much too brisk. This is not golf weather. What does a person, whose only weekly distraction is golf, do with himself when he cannot play golf? When I figure that out I'll let you know. No, seriously, I have no idea. There are
