Perfection

Philippians 3:12

Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

Most of you won’t know that I’m a bit of a perfectionist, but in no way am I claiming to be perfect in any way (I am human after all).

Here is an example of how bad I can be:

Yesterday whilst trying to change a few things about my blog site it was accidentally taken down.  Having a bit of technical knowledge I attempted to get the site back up again myself. Eventually I contacted technical support for help and thanks to them the site is back up and running

Let us not remember whether we class ourselves as Perfectionist’s or not there is only one true perfectionist and that is Christ Jesus himself.

We may be bruised and battered by this life. We may feel that we are barely hanging on. But if we have trusted in the Christ, we shall safely reach home. II Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, […]

Gardens delight us with their colors and their teeming life. A feast for the eyes, there is always something new to observe. Somehow, working in the soil helps us to reconnect with ourselves and with our God. Perhaps it is because it allows us to play a small part in the creation and nurture of […]

Sin in the Church

Matthew 18 New International Version

Dealing With Sin in the Church

15 “If your brother or sister[b] sins,[c] go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’[d] 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be[e] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[f] loosed in heaven.

19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Higher Ground — GraceSpeak

One of our recent wanderings took us to a local swamp area, called Tate’s Hell. Now a state forest and wildlife area, the 202,437 acre wetland is slowly being reclaimed and restored from years of logging. Tate’s Hell lies between the Ochlocknee and Apalachicola Rivers in the Florida Panhandle and includes floodplain swamp, wet prairie, […]

Joy Comes On Morning’s Light ~

Beautiful

Deborah Ann Belka's avatarCHRISTian poetry ~ by deborah ann

Joy comes,
to heart’s broken
joy returns
in words unspoken.

Joy arises,
from out of the pits
joy emerges
with strength and grit.

Joy enters,
with peace and calm
joy becomes
the soul’s healing balm.

Joy reaches,
into mind’s affected
Joy arrives
when least expected

Joy follows,
weeping nights
joy arises
on morning’s light!

~~~~~~

Psalm 30:5

For his anger endureth but a moment;
in his favour is life: weeping may
endure for a night, but joy cometh
in the morning.

God knows us

See the source image

Lord I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made
You know my thoughts, my going out and my lying down,
You’re familiar with all my ways
Even before I speak You know my words, You know my name. (Based on part of Psalm 139).

I like what the composer of the lyrics has done in this song. It’s as if he or she has put Psalm 139 into song and personally I like that.

In my bible there’s a footnote for verse “17 Or How amazing are your thoughts concerning me”‘ and it’s true his thoughts for us are amazing

I have read and heard this Psalm read out several times but I think I have to be honest in saying I learned more from it in doing this blog than ever before
