In The Reality: August 2014
http://esalexander.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 4, 2014. The Truth Will Set You Free. It came to my attention last year through an amazing ministry that you have probably heard me talk about, Whatever It Takes Ministries. That I was believing one of Satan's lies. I suppose there are many more lies I choose to believe, but this one has been particularly debilitating. The lie was this: "I don't have anything important to say." I don't know when this lie became a part of who I think I am, but it has been around for a long time. I could see...

In The Reality: May 2014
http://esalexander.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 14, 2014. Too Good To Be Forgiven. Which category do you fit in? Too good to be forgiven, too bad to be to be forgiven, or so bad that you are glad to be forgiven? I got that way back when and have no need of it currently. Sure as rain, I will fall into blatant hard-hearted sin and feel completely worthless. And those people who have higher standards, well, they're just a bunch of legalists! Woe unto you, Pharisees! Wednesday, May 7, 2014. A Presbyterian Healing Service. Send Me An Email.

In The Reality: Idols of the heart
http://esalexander.blogspot.com/2014/03/idols-of-heart.html
Sunday, March 2, 2014. Idols of the heart. I had always thought that idolatry was the worshiping of objects. I read that in the past people bowed down to idols made of wood and metal but today our idols are materialism, money, power, etc. This is true, but what the Lord has been showing me the past several years is that anything. Even good things, can be an idol if it becomes too "big" in our lives. I began to see how my life revolved around these different things. Ever since I was young I have had a des...

In The Reality: Intruding Thoughts
http://esalexander.blogspot.com/2014/07/intruding-thoughts.html
Wednesday, July 16, 2014. I have discussed the idea of Satan giving us "intruding thoughts" in an older post ( Dealing With Temptation. In this post I wanted to outline the idea from my own experience. Now honestly, had someone told me about this a year and a half ago, I probably would have thought they were crazy and that this was something loosely derived from scripture to support a fanatical movement on the fringes of the Christian community. Something that I have recently noticed though is the fact t...

In The Reality: April 2014
http://esalexander.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 23, 2014. Clarity for the thoughts previously posted. My friend Jonathan suggested I send my post to his. Pastor, Tim Price. He brings up several valid points that bring much clarity to the thoughts I expressed in my previous post. Posted by Tim Price. Your quote, “Why do we think people have to be on our side of every issue before they are saved? Monday, April 21, 2014. Mormons, JWs and Catholics. After seeing him agreeing with me I couldn't put it together in my head. I was reeling...

In The Reality
http://esalexander.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-re-post-from-alexander-adventures.html
Tuesday, June 24, 2014. A re-post from Alexander Adventures. Someone recently wrote asking for our family's opinion of contemporary Christian music and women wearing only skirts and dresses. Our reply follows:. My family didn't attend church until I was 11 when my step-dad who was saved but not walking with the Lord decided we'd all go to church for the first time on Christmas morning. A friend of my sister's had been inviting us to her church so we went there. My mom, who I would have described as sulle...

In The Reality: September 2014
http://esalexander.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 20, 2014. Several months ago I wrote a post that mentioned contentment. Recently, the Lord did something in this area of my life. I began to feel the Lord leading me to pursue a young lady. I carefully switched gears and began investigating this woman. This was not an easy thing to accomplish, but the Lord opened several doors and answered prayers, we're talking freak situations that lined things up perfectly for me to get to know more about her. Make the call to her father. Honestly,...

In The Reality: Dealing With Temptation
http://esalexander.blogspot.com/2014/02/dealing-with-temptation.html
Sunday, February 9, 2014. I wanted to share something that the Lord has been showing me over the past several months. Much of what I am writing is based on a very good book I read not too long ago, Reclaiming Surrendered Ground. Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.”. For it is written,.
