An Inspiration for Today...A Resource for a Lifetime!

will you join us?

"Ask of Me and I will surely
give you the nations..."
Psalm 2:8a

When God called Jeremiah to his ministry, the Lord re-assured him by saying, "I am watching over My word to perform it" (Jeremiah 1:12). Curiously, several years ago, I felt prompted to pray Psalm 2:8 (see above).

At the time I had no vision...just a mild sense of God's leading. In January of 2001, God gave me the idea for GodThoughts. At the time it was solely an act of obedience, with an initial mailing list of nine family members and friends.

"But God has chosen the foolish things
of the world to shame the wise." -1 Corinthians 1:27

In the first eighteen days of existence GodThoughtsWired! became an international ministry and now, eleven years later, currently goes to more than 380,000 subscribers in over 200 countries/provinces. It has become a "wave" that God has called me to "ride with all my might" (see John 5:19).

In addition, the video version of GodThoughts, GodThoughtsLive!, reaches thousands more world-wide and, according to "youtube analytics," has become a daily, discipleship tool in 102 countries around the world.

Indeed, the GodThoughts ministry  is the answer to the prayer that God prompted me to lift up to Him those many years ago,

"Ask of Me and I will
surely give you the nations..."

I am now joining with God in asking Him to "Watch over this word to perform it," and today I'm asking you to join me in my prayer.  Seriously, would you please take one moment to sincerely pray the following:

Father,

With tremendous gratitude, we ask You to continue to make the GodThoughts Ministry everything you originally intended for it to be. We are asking You Lord to continue to...give us the nations.

In Jesus name,

Amen.

Thank you!

God's Invitation to You!

GodThoughtsWired!            Wednesday, February 29, 2012

An Inspiration for Today...A Resource for a Lifetime!

god's invitation to you!

"He is intimate with the upright."
-Proverbs 3:32


For those of us who are passionate about mining the riches of God's word, a wonderful study can be done of the Hebrew word, "sodh."  It denotes, "private, intimate, communication."  How interesting that our relationship with God is whatever we choose it to be. 

This kind of intimacy or "extreme closeness," is only available to those who seek it.  It is conditional.  Conditional upon living in reverence to God and an upright walk with the Lord.

Look at how the word, "sodh," is used in Psalm 25:14:


"The secret (sodh) of the Lord is for those
who fear Him; and He will
make them know His covenant."


Intimacy with God is an invitation, a conditional offer, only available to those who would deny themselves and take up their daily cross (see Luke 9:23).  It motivates me to, "lay aside every encumbrance, and the sin that so easily entangles us, and run with endurance the race set before us" (Hebrews 12:1).

If you haven't received yours yet...

Consider this God's invitation...to YOU!

The Kingdom of God is Like...A Sporting Event

GodThoughtsWired!               Friday, February 24, 2012

Evangelizing the Church in the Age of Delusion

the kingdom of god is like...

a sporting event!

"It is not the hearers of the law who
are just before God, but the doers of
the law who are justified."
-Romans 2:13


From demons to deacons, many in the world "believe" in God (see James 2:19).  Jesus told us that the wheat and the chaff would grow up together (see Matthew 3:12).  But the kingdom of God is like...a sporting event.  Those who honor the Lord with their lips only (see Mark 7:7), can be likened to the spectators:


"But prove yourselves doers of the word
and not merely hearers who delude themselves."
-James 1:22


On the other hand, the true followers of Christ can be likened to the players.  There are no perfect players.  However, there are players who, empowered by God, do great exploits for His kingdom because they are, "overwhelming conquerors" in Jesus and, "can do all things" through Christ who strengthens them (see Romans 8:37; Philippians 4:13).

Spectators are spectators and players are players.  Spectators are not players.  Spectators who think they are players are...DELUDED (see Matthew 7:21-23).

Yes, I believe the kingdom of God is like a sporting event.

Would you consider yourself a spectator...or a player?

How do you know? (see 2 Corinthians 13:5; Matthew 7:20).

But I Was Born This Way!

GodThoughtsWired!             Wednesday, February 22, 2012

Evangelizing the Church in the Age of Delusion

but i was born this way!

 

"No matter gay, straight or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track, baby..."-Lady Gaga, Born This Way Lyrics

Every baby is born selfish.  Does that make selfishness good?  Does that mean they must embrace selfishness in adulthood to be happy?  Does it mean they cannot change?  Does it mean they shouldn't change?

Is teaching a small child not to be selfish a bad thing?  Is challenging a child's selfishness intolerant,* biggoted and judgmental?

Scientific Evidence for the Divine Inspiration of the Bible: The $1000 Athiest Challenge!

GodThoughtsWired!            Friday, February 17, 2012

Evangelizing the Church in the Age of Delusion

scientific evidence

for the divine

inspiration

of the bible!

part 1

THE $1000 ATHIEST CHALLENGE*


I've grown weary of athiest pundits like Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher frivolously and irresponsibly claiming that Christianity is without evidence.  Not only is biblical Christianity based on the sufficiency of the evidence (see Hebrews 11:1), in many cases the Bible has been found to be well ahead of its time when it comes to science. 

Here are three significant examples:

EVIDENCE #1.  Long before science understood the significance of blood...God supernaturally revealed it through Moses:


"For the life of the flesh is in the blood."
-Leviticus 17:11


DID YOU KNOW?  Less than 200 years ago it was considered "cutting edge" medicine to "bleed" the patient.

EVIDENCE #2.  Thousands of years before science understood the myriad of stars...Jeremiah prophecied it!


"The stars of heaven cannot be counted."
-Jeremiah 33:22


DID YOU KNOW?  As recently as the 17th century science thought that there were only about 6000 stars!

EVIDENCE #3.  Centuries before science understood gravity...the Bible declared it!


"He...hangs the earth on nothing."
-Job 26:7


DID YOU KNOW?  As recently as 1543ad Hindus believed that the earth was supported by 4 elephants on a turtle, and the Greeks believed that Atlas carried the world upon his back. 

Wow!  Three startling examples of the scientific evidence for the divine inspiration of the Bible?
