Does God Want Us to be Healthy Wealthy and Wise? – Part 3

Over the last couple of blogs, we’ve looked at whether God intends for His people always to be healthy and wealthy. We’ve seen that scripture supports the idea that sometimes bad things happen to God’s people. They may suffer health issues, loss and financial hardship. So what about the last category? Does God intend for us to be wise? Right back in the Garden of Eden, this desire for wisdom got Eve and consequently Adam into trouble, Genesis 3:6. Their actions in the garden resulted in them being banished from the garden God planted for them. So can we conclude … Continue reading →

Let’s face it, if people take a look around themselves and still can’t see the divinity of creation, how are we, by just our words, going to be able to convince someone differently?

Controlling the Mind and the Heart

While I was reading through a few of the Psalms trying to decide what to write on for this blog, I actually came across a passage at the end of Psalm 19. I mentioned part of Psalm 19 in a blog a couple of days ago; however, I completely neglected reading the end of the Psalm at the time. Psalm 19:4 states: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.” What a powerful and thought-provoking verse! The verse hits on two different aspects of … Continue reading →
