Faith – Sitting under the Willow Tree

“Our Father’s House” #3

In times like these, we need more than a fake Jesus. “I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge…” (Psalms 91:2a) Jesus IS our Father’s House. Jesus IS the secret place. Jesus IS the Word made flesh and the promises we dwell in. “Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge,Continue reading ““Our Father’s House” #3″

“Our Father’s House” #2

“What is the “Fight of No Fight?” Again, what is a paradox? A seemingly absurd statement that may actually be true. You don’t really expect God to operate within natural law do you? Wouldn’t that be kind of disappointing? I mean, God should be the only one who is able to supersede natural law andContinue reading ““Our Father’s House” #2″

Faith or Feelings?

Faith or feelings, which is true? The answer is both! This is a sad time in our nation and all over our precious planet Earth. Human suffering has invaded the homes of everyone, whether rich or poor, like a knife we cannot block. If it’s not the Covid 19 itself, then it is the financialContinue reading “Faith or Feelings?”

“A Warrior sat under the Willow Tree” #20

The Sword of Wisdom. (Part Two) Some say earth is hell. But wisdom dictates earth is no more hell, than it is heaven. Perhaps at times we may feel earth is a taste of hell, or a taste of heaven, but that would be as close as it may come. And yet we often hearContinue reading ““A Warrior sat under the Willow Tree” #20″

“The Warrior is a child.” (Part Three) Conclusion. I started a “Fellowship” so we could have “Simple” church. Childlike church. Where and when did Jesus have church? Best answer? Everywhere he went and all the time. There is a friend meeting me at Cracker Barrel tomorrow, and we will have church. (He doesn’t actually knowContinue reading ““A Warrior sat under the Willow Tree” #17″

“A Warrior sat under the Willow Tree” #16

“The Warrior is a child.” (Part Two) Let’s go deeper into the spiritual rabbit hole of the child-warrior. I have come to understand just how important it is for every child to have a “childhood”. This time of love, innocence, play, creativity, imagination, exploration, learning to trust, is very important in our development. If youContinue reading ““A Warrior sat under the Willow Tree” #16″

“A Warrior sat under the Willow Tree” #15

“The Warrior is a child.” – (Part One). Jesus said> “Truly, I say to you, whoever does not accept and receive and welcome the kingdom of God as a little child (does), shall not in any way enter it (at all).” Luke 18:17 Ampl. Jesus tells us straight out that if we’re above being childlike,Continue reading ““A Warrior sat under the Willow Tree” #15″

A Warrior sat under the Willow Tree” #13

“Beyond the Blackboard” What kind of warrior are you, if any at all? Many people have “fight” in them, but what are they fighting for? Is it a good cause, or bad? And who’s to be the judge whether good or bad? Is it something we believe in, or simply things we desire for personalContinue reading “A Warrior sat under the Willow Tree” #13″

#12 Continued…

“…but ever be filled and stimulated with the (Holy) Spirit.” Today’s challenge under the Willow Tree is to be literally “transformed”. No big deal, right? And this is how we are going to do it …but ever be filled and stimulated with the (Holy) Spirit. (Eph. 5:18) This is serenity – simplicity – Spirit –Continue reading “#12 Continued…”
