What is Religion? & why it can never work. “We have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God” – Romans  3:23 Man without God is 'beastly', at least in some way of another. No matter how educated, how finely dressed, or how raw and unpolished – A Man without the Spirit of God controlling his soul  (humanity: his character, nature and personality) , is a man that will bear little in resemblance to his Creator, and much resemblance to the carnal flesh  (the human nature void of the influence of God’s Nature).  Such a man is but half alive, though he may have the outer appearance of being so! There is not a human soul without Christ, who does not, in some way or another, display the heartless nature of the world that surrounds him, and who has not been influenced, led and guided by the ways of this world. It is in Jesus Christ, and through Him Alone, that we become partakers of the Character, the Nature and the Personality of the F...

The Process of Change is a Messy Business! A surgeon's operating table may be sterile, but it is certainly never clean! At best it is "messy"! A place where he performs open surgery to save and rescue his patients.  A potter's wheel is never clean either, it is covered in clay and so is the potter's hands in pressing against the item he is fashioning.

The end result in allowing Him to complete His surgery in us however, always produces something beautiful at the end. If things seem a little messy ...

A short thought - LOOKING BEYOND THE OBVIOUS  Sometimes God uses ways to free us from the present and to direct us into the next season of our lives that are the least preferable to us. I am sure that Joseph did not enjoy waking up in the pit, having been rejected and cast out by his own brothers. The experience certainly must have hurt, and he would have preferred to have left in a much more dignified and meaningful way. Yet if it had not been for the pit, he would have never seen Egypt. Many times we tend to question our present experiences, and it may be that they are hurtful and cause us to wonder why they are happening and where God is in terms of rescuing and protecting us, without recognizing His very hand in the things we wish to run from! All the while guiding and leading us on to the new seasons He has prepared for us to know and to experience. Always remember that circumstances are temporal and many times used as temporary instruments guiding our eternal fu...
