Lean Not On Your Own Understanding

Posted 08-01-2023 at 04:51 PM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

Proverbs 3:5 - "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."

Your self-nature is overactive, impulsive, and always striving for something just outside your reach. If you give up all those things that provoke your curiosity and set your mind spinning, you will have more than enough time to spend with God.

God, working within your spirit, produces a calm and faithful heart that the world cannot touch.

Clothing Ourselves With Divine Wisdom

Posted 08-01-2023 at 09:52 AM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

Ask God to release a greater wisdom, as we are instructed to do in James 1:5. Ask the Holy Spirit of God to awaken your heart and life to understand that every born-again believer has a purpose destined by God that is connected to advancing His Kingdom in the earth. Much of the favor of God that we experience is tied to whether or not we are...

"By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household.... - Hebrews 11:7

Through a divine visitation, God specifically prepared Noah for unprecedented events that unfolded in his generation. No human reasoning or natural wisdom could have provided the necessary insight and strategic blueprint for survival. Noah prevailed only by the Spirit of Revelation and obedience to the spoken word of the Lord....

Climate Change and Preterism

Posted 07-31-2023 at 06:57 PM by HSong

My personal views on eschatology are preterism, which means that all eschatological events in order to guarantee the salvation of a believer in Christ have already been fulfilled. Specifically, the 2nd Coming of Christ, the Apocalypse, the Great Tribulation have all already occurred in the 70 AD Destruction of the Temple period.

One difference is the spiritual science of the Bible and the physical science of the world. Specifically, not all of the Bible is meant to be taken “literally”...

There's The Texas Dairy Queen --- And Then There's Everyone Else's

If you've ever stopped in at a Dairy Queen in the state of Texas..........and then stopped in at a Dairy Queen in Oklahoma, then you should notice that there's a big difference in menu choices. For a specific reason, it comes down to franchising.

Back in 1947, the folks in Illinois who actually founded the entire franchise had allowed Rolly Klose of Austin to franchise his soon-to-be chain in the Capital City. And Klose wanted a local flavor to his DQ, which would...
