GOD IS LOVE
God is Love by T. L. Wiens A few days ago, I read a blog that dealt with 1 John 4:8, “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” And even though I’m not sure I totally agree with the blog author’s path, our conclusions are the same; the definition of love in… Continue reading GOD IS LOVE
WHEN MY HEART IS WRONG
When My Heart is Wrong By T. L. Wiens The lack of love in the conversation hurt. I felt disrespected and the anger followed. It didn’t take long for my prayers to turn against this enemy. And I could justify it. Didn’t some of the Psalms have this same tone? Psalm 59:1 says, “Deliver me from… Continue reading WHEN MY HEART IS WRONG
PRAISING GOD
Praising God by T. L. Wiens I recently attended my sister in-law’s wedding. During a lull in the activities, everyone made small talk. We were asked repeatedly how long the drive was. That was followed by the comments about how boring it is to drive across Saskatchewan. There’s nothing to see but flat land. For me, it’s… Continue reading PRAISING GOD

WHEN GOD SAYS DON’T PRAY
When God Says Don’t Pray by T. L. Wiens There are times when the Bible leaves me with more questions than answers.

THOSE URGINGS IN MY SPIRIT

SAYING THANKS
Saying Thanks by T. L Wiens “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7 KJV). I listened to Charles Price talking… Continue reading SAYING THANKS
HEART OF THE MATTER
Heart of the Matter by T. L. Wiens It is amazing how the similar words from two different people can lead two very different directions. King Saul and King David are a perfect example of similar words, different heart. In I Samuel 15, Saul has disobeyed the command of the Lord. Instead of destroying everything during… Continue reading HEART OF THE MATTER
