outgo exceeding income

As I am writing a few pages of my book on Seagulls and truth..."When your outgo exceeds your income, your upkeep becomes your downfall."  Pastor John Morgan, Sagemont Church, Houston, Texas in his Financial Freedom Seminar we first attended in 1981.

Rock of Ages

great quote from great preacher of the past: "I've learned to kiss the waves that throw  me up against the Rock of Ages."  Charles Spurgeon

life more abundantly

there is a vast difference between "life more abundantly" and "abundant life"...can you see the basic difference?

The Lord is MY Shepherd

No shepherd ever had a more intimate knowledge of his sheep than Jesus, our Great Shepherd, has of those who belong to His flock.

Beginning to write last section of my forthcoming book, All I Want Is JESUS!.  Last 13 chapters will be on "all I want is HIS SHEPHERDING."  Between 23rd Psalm and John 10, God gives us incredible insight into a special aspect of our relationship with Him.

Christianity is Jesus, not a religion

Religion is imitating Christ, but Christianity is exactly Jesus living through me.

more than surrendering to Christ

"As we progress into  the grace walk we must move beyond surrender...intimacy with the Lord Jesus will become the consuming passion of your life."  (Steve McVey, in his book: Grace Walk, pgs. 122-123)

abiding and humility

"What opens the abiding door is  humility, and what closes it is pride."  (Michael Wells, in his book Sidetracked in the Wilderness, page 115.

freedom and spirituality

"Freedom will not make us any more or less spiritual than imprisonment.  Spirituality comes from a simple recognition that we have nothing."  Michael Wells, Day 104 in My Weakness for His Strength.

Jesus and freedom

Christianity is the only "religion" that uses the word "freedom."  Maintaining a religious system is impossible.  However, Jesus is not a "religion"; with Him we have a RELATIONSHIP.  Well, amen.

faith leads to hope

"Faith leads to hope, while unbelief begets hopelessness."
     Michael Wells, in his book: Heavenly Discipleship

wrong focus

"Focusing on 'values' and a value system drives an obsession with 'right' & 'wrong' (tree of knowledge of good & evil)...and makes people self-conscious instead of God-conscious."  (Steve McVey, in his book Grace Walk)
