Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Real Friends Aren't Afraid Of Our Messes. Life can get pretty messy. Relationships can get even messier. Get one mess cleaned up, and two more show up, and just when you think you have it all together someone points out that you have slobber running down your left cheek. But a real friend is not afraid of our messes. Real friends will stand in the gap, and help clean up our messes. 8220; It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick ”. I want to b...

The God Whisperer: Hey God, Are You There?
http://www.thegodwhisperer.net/2014/07/hey-god-are-you-there.html
Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Hey God, Are You There? This quote describes the place where many find themselves in their prayer life. Since God seems to be in some otherworld location, it is easy to ignore any prayer time, easier to doubt and ultimately to challenge his authority. Our prayers move from seeking and listening, to delivering shopping lists and making demands for God to fulfill. We have turned the master into the slave. Yancy, goes on to say that we should stop looking down on God as though he is ...

The God Whisperer: April 2015
http://www.thegodwhisperer.net/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 9, 2015. The Parable Of God. The Gospels are full of what we have come to call Parables. The word itself was not used until the mid thirteenth century. The word originated with the French, but it was based on the Latin word: Parabole (comparison). We commonly define a Parable as a short earthly story using everyday events to convey a heavenly meaning. 8220;Behold, the sower went out to sow;. And as he sowed, some seeds. Fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up”. 8220;There...

Thursday, February 20, 2014. While sitting in a grocery store parking lot, my eyes were drawn to a man in the next row of cars. He was pushing his cart of groceries while chatting away on his cell phone. When he reached his vehicle he let go of the cart and opened the trunk to put his purchase in it. The Bible likens the devil to a lion. “. Be of sober spirit. Be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour”. Posted by Fred Bittner.

Tuesday, April 23, 2013. For many years, I took students to Catalina Island for a week. The island, off the coast of California, has rich and amazing marine life. Many of the kids had never experienced a camping trip, bon fires, kayaking, snorkeling, or even being away from home. She gave in to putting on a wetsuit, but the nervousness continued to rise. Finally the truth came out. “I can’t swim, and I am terrified of putting my face in the water. Please don’t make me go! Posted by Fred Bittner. When you...

The God Whisperer: May 2013
http://www.thegodwhisperer.net/2013_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 5, 2013. How can we be so casual about our faith when we have been given so much? Is it any wonder that Jesus took a child, like that little three year old girl, dancing in the isle, and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3). If you took this passage seriously, what would change in your behavior, your witness, and your faith? 8221; Oh, how we need to be like that woman today. Posted by Fred Bittner.

Sunday, September 22, 2013. 8220;What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep. Than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.”. Why was the lost sheep not pursued? Posted by Fred Bittner. As a ...

Wednesday, September 26, 2012. I May Not Soar With Eagles Yet, But I'm Practicing. 8220;Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary” (Isaiah 40:31). When birds leave the nest, it is not uncommon in their first attempt to fall to the ground. Giving up, however, is not an option for a bird. Without flight, a bird would soon be dead. So they get up and try again, because as...They prac...
