The “N” things of God

Not being Ashamed  It is puzzling why people who seem to be kindly intended towards the Savior would be embarrassed or reluctant to proclaim Him from the housetops.  Yet there would seem to be those who are reluctant to divulge their relationship as a joint heir with Christ.

Daniel 6:10   And when he had learned that the document was signed, Daniel went to his house. And his windows were open in his roof room toward Jerusalem; and he kneeled on his knees three times a day and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Continue reading →

The “M” Things of God

Mercy The Old Testament writers often said God’s Mercy was everlasting. They used the term merciful kindness. Mercy has been described as not getting what we deserve.  Mercy is inserted where judgment would have been appropriate. We need to example this grace to others as well as receive it for ourselves.

What can it mean to be without natural physical sight?  It is not that we all take for granted our marvelous gift of sight. Certainly it is true we often do not give it much thought. But when a person is rendered sightless it is an all-consuming question. How will I? What can I? Where is the? Who am I now?  It is an adaptation beyond comprehension for those who have never experienced it.

Your circle of friends may be greatly altered. The nature and scope of your travels and duties and all that is involved in your daily existence is so dramatically impacted that it is like having to be born all over again. Because you live among a people who have sight, you would require a sighted person to enable you to dress properly, appear properly and maybe even accompany you in every aspect of your life.
