A Christ Follower: The Journey

It Really Is Unique   Hey Y'all, Given this is a Christ Follower Web Blog, which is written for Christ Followers world wide, I thought it was about time to say a little something about the most unusual book written anywhere, any place or any time: You guessed it! I am talking about our Holy Book,  the Bible or The Very Word of God. It really is a unique book.  As a matter of fact, I would say there is no book anywhere that comes close to it; for example, it was written by over 40 different authors. Since its earliest beginnings, the authors lived on three different continents. And it is reported to  cover 1,500 years ... maybe more. Those who put it together firmly believed what the Bible says about itself -- that is, it is THE message of God Almighty, the Creator and sustainer of the Universe, to the people God created. God wanted to -- and God still wants to -- speak to the human race on Planet Earth. The Best of All Best Sellers The Bible is on t...

Amazing Accusations              In the First Century, around AD 50, the Apostle Paul did some amazing things. One of those things, of which he was accused, was that he and his band of brothers and sisters " turned the world upside down " (Acts 17:6-7 ESV) as the seeds of the gospel they shared spread a bumper crop harvest of souls,  throughout the then known world. As a matter of fact, they were reported to have preached the gospel "to every creature under heaven." (Colossians 1:23b.) If you consider they started with only a crowd of about 120 people, doing this had to be a supernatural "God Thing." And Paul was not even at the original prayer meeting.                                                       The Miracle Of Reporting Our Day Even more amazing is how accurately the Apostle Paul reported what would ...

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,  4 who   comforts   us   in   all   our   troubles,   so that   we   can   comfort   those   in   any   trouble   with   the   comfort   we ourselves   have received   from   God.   5 For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.… 2 Corinthians 4:3-5 A Whole Bunch of Suffering Going On A whole bunch of us, around this earth, have experienced quite a few challenges lately. This Covid-19 has done a number, for whatever reasons, on families in 180 nations. One beautiful thing that has happened, through all this,  is that many of us have been blessed by Almighty God, His Son, and The Holy Spirit. We have been blessed by His comfort, compassion and the ability to become overcomers during challenging tim...

Read The 23rd Psalm, and Then ... A couple of days ago, in my video blog www.rock-solid-living.com   ( You may have to copy and paste this to your Url to get it to open.)   I shared wisdom regarding "God's Psychiatry," I hope you will take time to view this because I believe, through what God discloses, it can change your life, and help bring you emotional balance. In addition to this, I am sharing a little bit of a twist on this video blog here in our www.achristfollower.blogspot.com . So, please listen up.

Once you complete one translation, go to the next and simp...

I n All Your Ways Submit To God And He will Direct Your Path . Proverbs 3:6 (NIV) As we continue along our journey in making  eternal life wise choices, we certainly need to follow the plan of yesterday's blog, and  trust in the Lord, as well as not limit our choices to our mere point of view. Now, if we really choose to be wise, we must certainly give this verse 6, of these God guidance proverbs, prayerful and careful consideration. If we really want Divine guidance,  we must be "all in." And we must be submissive to have the miracle of Ancient Wisdom guiding and directing our lives. What are we saying here?  Well, that is a good question. In all our ways, that means leaving none out, we have only one responsibility. That responsibility is to submit to God.  Or as the KJV says, " In all your ways acknowledge Him." That is we need to simply ask God what God thinks, and we need to ask Him for His help and guidance. Keep in mind how much greater is His ...

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,  and don't lean on your own understanding . Proverbs 3:5 The Trust Factor I have done some research into the most popular sought after Ancient Wisdom of the Bible. The most sought after is, in my opinion, a really good God direction for everyday living. For it tells us exactly where to place our trust. For Christ Followers, this may not come as a surprise because trusting in God, no matter what happens in life, is like having an eternal and present refuge for each new day; however, we are not talking about just barely placing our faith in Him. It's a, " With ALL your heart" kind of trust.  It's betting your whole life on the Creator, through Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. And while I use the word "betting," I can assure you that this is no gamble. It is, however, one of the most important and safe choices you or I could make. If you have trust issues, or you do not, this is the Ancient Wisdom for y...

Guard your heart, above all else, because it determines the course of your life.  Proverbs 14:23 You have a choice, and so do I, on the direction our lives will take today. It is an "inside job." It begins with your heart. It begins with mine, and God - through Jesus- can help you. Let Him transform you. Let Him apply His Eternal Covenant to your life, as you daily surrender to God, through Jesus, by the  power of The Holy Spirit. Then, something miraculous will happen:  God WILL write His laws on your heart. He will put them in  your mind, and all your sins and lawless acts, He simply will choose not to remember. (HEB. 10:15 and following verses.) Guard your heart today and watch what happens. Make it a priority today and every single day God gives you. This spiritual practice will determine God's positive outcome for your life ... one day at a time. Be blessed today...especially today! Sojourner #MakeTheNationsGodly #MakeAmericaGodly ...
