    In my feeble mind, there are some perplexing things in the word of God that do not measure up. Logically speaking, from the human standpoint I have some disagreements with God. God and I do not see eye to eye on several issues. I

    The passage that we will look at today is the beginning of 1 Peter 1 in which the Apostle Peter calls us all strange. Do you believe that?! The Apostle Peter calls those of us who are believers “strange.”

    “STRANGERS IN THE WORLD” 1 PETER 1:1-13 STRANGE THINGS HUMANS DO …olsonnd.com/weird-things-humans-do/ I was thinking about our passage today, and I got to thinking about the word “strange.” The word “strange” to me means odd and unexpected or ...read more

    For the Christian, Faith is not spelled "F-A-I-T-H" it is spelled "R-I-S-K." If something is not a risk, then it really does not require Faith. Updated March 2021.

    The Word tells us to speak to the mountain and it will move. Our words are powerful and we will get what we say. Therefore, you want to speak life not death.

    What you say is critical to your walk and to those around you. God created the earth and everything in it by the Spoken Word and the Holy Spirit. Jesus was raised from the dead by the Holy Spirit. You and I have that same Holy Spirit with the same authority as they did at that time. If you can wrap ...read more

    Paul in writing to the church located in Ephesus was interested in the way that they were walking as their walk revealed their attitudes, desires and relationship with Christ.

    Stop Walking That Way Ephesians 4:17-24 Have you ever noticed the difference in how different people walk?
