Be transformed by the renewing of your mind". Saturday, January 14, 2012. Hannah’s Glorious Faith. 8220;Then they … brought the boy to Eli. And she said, ‘Oh, my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you, praying to the Lord. For this boy I prayed, and the Lord has given me my petition which I asked of Him. So I have also dedicated him to the Lord; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the Lord.’ …” (1 Samuel 1:25-28 NASB). Why did He make her wait for so long? Timothy ...

Reformation Avenue: Inviting Disaster
http://reformationavenue.blogspot.com/2011/03/inviting-disaster.html
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind". Friday, March 4, 2011. When some prominent man in ministry falls into scandalous sin and becomes a shame to himself and an example of ministerial failure, skeptical people may quickly respond ‘I told you; they’re all a bunch of phonies.’. And is it any wonder that such an opinion would be held? It seems that ‘the Christian ministry’ is often plagued with such men (and now women). But how is that possible? Anything man can touch he can pollute. 8220;And the tw...

Reformation Avenue: September 2011
http://reformationavenue.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind". Thursday, September 15, 2011. 8220;And they lived there about ten years.” (Ruth 1:4c). What a difference ten years made. As they began Naomi was happily married and the mother of two grown sons; at the end of those years she was a childless widow facing a bleak future. We all live in a world where a nice little family story can quickly become a tragic tale of sorrow and struggle. Prosperity has often become a faint memory in only a few short days. All alone, ...

Reformation Avenue: In All Your Getting, Get Christ
http://reformationavenue.blogspot.com/2015/01/in-all-your-getting-get-christ.html
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind". Thursday, January 15, 2015. In All Your Getting, Get Christ. In All Your Getting, Get Christ. Yet Jesus, who understood these realities better than anyone else, urged His hearers to enter into His kingdom, and to enter at once! They were outside it. He told them to enter into His kingdom. Repent, change your mind, and believe the gospel—and do it now! Now there is another option and it looks much better and much easier. But that large, ornate, impressive,...

Reformation Avenue: Great Knowledge & Great Love
http://reformationavenue.blogspot.com/2011/07/great-knowledge-great-love.html
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind". Tuesday, July 19, 2011. Great Knowledge and Great Love. Knowledge and love may peacefully occupy the same heart. But one or the other will always take the lead. We must be sure that love is in the driver’s seat. True knowledge is necessary for us to live a fruitful Christian life. Once we know the truth, we must still “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). Knowledge is better than ignorance. Truly, “If anyo...

Reformation Avenue: Our Little Window of Time
http://reformationavenue.blogspot.com/2011/02/our-little-window-of-time.html
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind". Saturday, February 5, 2011. Our Little Window of Time. Every last one of us has an appointment with death, just as we had an appointment with birth. Every day we live is one that was ordained for us, a day God fashioned for us and that He always intended for us to live. You are alive today because God always intended it so. 8220;…And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them” (Ps 139:16). Time will come...

Reformation Avenue: Rejected & Killed
http://reformationavenue.blogspot.com/2011/07/rejected-killed.html
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind". Tuesday, July 12, 2011. To a first century Jew, the very thought that Israel’s long-awaited Messiah would ever “be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed”—that would truly have been unthinkable, the very opposite of every expectation. However, the reality was to be far different. Public opinion was that Jesus was probably one of the old prophets returned, possibly Elijah or Jeremiah. How did they come to a right understanding abou...

Reformation Avenue: October 2011
http://reformationavenue.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind". Thursday, October 6, 2011. Mighty Man, Impressive Woman. It takes more than wealth to make a man noble; some rich men are very small characters, after all. Boaz was a man of wealth and influence in the region called Ephrathah and in the town of Bethlehem. He was also a man of measurable depth, evident faith and honorable character. He could recognize virtue in others; he was a businessman, knowing how to exercise and delegate authority. He assured her that sh...
