Rock Solid A-S-King: Levels of Relating To God. Matthew 7:7–11 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him! —Jesus If you are still with us, then you have come to the other side of the narrow gate. You are well on your way, as you travel along these stepping-stones, to maintaining a solid foundation. You are also about to get a glimpse of just how rational and practical our God is. In the preceding verses, Jesus talks about speaking with God without calling it prayer. He gives no explanation as to why He does not call this prayer. He simply choos...

Do not be afraid, For I AM with you. Don't be discouraged, For I AM your God. I will strengthen you and I will help you. I will hold you up with my victorious  Right Hand. Isaiah 41:10

More and more, the philosophy of freedom  from  religion began to take over our country. This philosophy began to replace freedom of religion. Then an intentional movement to require churches to stay within their four walls ensued. Colleges and universities packed their schools with professors who accepted the newer, more relativistic, philosophy. They espoused tolerance of the viewpoints of others, but they kept conservative thinkers out almost exclusively. For a time, the church wou...

CHAPTER 4 Rock-Solid Living In A Quicksand World Choose Wisely https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu4_UWeG_fo Gateways: Life or Death…Choose Life Matthew 7:13–14 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. —Jesus Life is full of choices. Some are very simple choices: What time should I get up in the morning? What kind of food should I eat? Do I want a healthy meal, or do I want fast food? Should I exercise or not exercise? What kind of clothes do I want to wear when I go out today? Do I need to worry about the weather? Then there are simple choices we make that can have fairly significant consequences; for example, perhaps I choose to drive too rapidly down a rain-slicked road. Or I can choose to take out a smartphone and illegally text a friend while driving down the highway at seventy miles per hour. I can...

The Word of God is living active, sharper than a two edged sword, piercing to the dividing of the spirit, the soul, joints and marrow. And it is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 If you ever want to see, hear, smell, taste and touch something that is vibrantly alive, it is the Word of God: For millennia, when people intersected - and still do intersect - with this Word, they find it to be active and empowering. When people open themselves to this Word, it pierces to the very core of their being in a life giving transformational ways.  Like a Sword of the Holy Spirit, it reaches deep into a human life. It penetrates way down to where we are made to be God conscious (our spirits.) The resurrection of our spirits occurs, and we are born again! When the Almighty applies the Word, we are no longer just self conscious (soul perception) but the spirit and the soul are so pierced by this that the new creation God promises occurs! The old life begin...
