Ruminations of a Saved Man: Status Quo Is a No-No
http://ruminationsofasavedman.blogspot.com/2010/03/status-quo-is-no-no.html
Ruminations of a Saved Man. Thursday, March 11, 2010. Status Quo Is a No-No. My friend and mentor Alvin Reid ( http:/ www.alvinreid.com/. Alvinreid on Twitter) quotes, "When people in need of change face multiple options, the tendency is to choose the status quo, even if that is not the best path.". There is a great risk of this in parenting! To be an effective parent, you will have to. Be different than the culture. The status quo has a dictator, his name is Satan. So that you won't give the best. Check...

Ruminations of a Saved Man. Sunday, August 30, 2009. Fear and the Failure Factor. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." -. Note to myself, but I don't mind if you read:. STOP FEARING. It's makes Him out a liar. STOP FEARING. It saps your power, the power He gave you, for His purposes. You can't minister. STOP FEARING. It gets in the way of love. You can't be afraid to love (fill in the blank, usually a person). What do you fear? Links to this post.

Ruminations of a Saved Man: June 2008
http://ruminationsofasavedman.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Ruminations of a Saved Man. Tuesday, June 24, 2008. Real Prayer vs. Religious Prayer. Prayer has been minimalized and marginalized. We have found a way to package and process prayer, thus hyper- and pseudo-intellectualizing what should be a terribly simple thing: talking with God. (After all, a Christian does know. We usually don't have trouble talking with, right? Told that the only rules were that there were none, they wouldn't know what to do. Or lack thereof, flowing around you. Talking with God shou...

Ruminations of a Saved Man: January 2010
http://ruminationsofasavedman.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Ruminations of a Saved Man. Sunday, January 31, 2010. Identifying and Defeating the Real Opposition. Reading in Numbers 13 and 14, I see a great lesson for me to learn from the faith Joshua and Caleb. You'll recall they are the two spies sent into the land of Canaan by Moses. The other 10 men were spiritual wimps, seeing only opposition, not opportunity. Joshua and Caleb saw with different eyes. In this story I am struck by the realization of what was the real opposition. Joshua and Caleb faced. If the L...

Ruminations of a Saved Man: Trials & Stress are Great Teachable Moments
http://ruminationsofasavedman.blogspot.com/2010/03/trials-stress-are-great-teachable.html
Ruminations of a Saved Man. Thursday, March 25, 2010. Trials and Stress are Great Teachable Moments. I was obviously a little down, and grumpy, this morning as I drove my kids to school and went to the office. Just had a lot on my mind. As they got out of the car, 14-year-old Tori turned to me and said with a smile, "Read Psalm 46.". Good idea. (And as an aside, isn't it nice as a parent to see/hear your counsel come back around? That leads me to my point today:. Psalm 46 begins, ". Our kids are watching...

Ruminations of a Saved Man: The Hard Work of Sanctification
http://ruminationsofasavedman.blogspot.com/2010/04/hard-work-of-sanctification.html
Ruminations of a Saved Man. Monday, April 5, 2010. The Hard Work of Sanctification. Meditating on the Word this morning, I was reminded of the work involved in growing in Christ. He gives us salvation when we reach for Him, acknowledging that we cannot save ourselves, as Scott Dawson so well said Sunday as 6,000 worshipped with us at First Baptist Concord. But sanctification is a partnership. It requires our effort. Let this passage instruct us, and let us use it to challenge and teach. And if you look f...
