I find it interesting that God finds me interesting.

“You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.” Psalms 139 NIV

As a boy, my awareness that God was always watching was disturbing. I suppose I felt this way because I thought He was watching in the sense of waiting for me to mess up somehow so He could punish me. As an adult I am grateful that God is interested in our lives. This change in the way I feel is mainly due to Jesus. His favourite designation of God is the word “Father.” God’s surveillance when of people isn’t like that of a policeman but a loving parent. As a parent He will certainly discipline when needed but always to instruct not to harm. Conversations Within” ts 3/25/2013 (Hayneville, AL)

“The problem with the gene pool is that there's no lifeguard.” David Gerrold

“Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.” 1Cor.15

Christians believe that we have two sets of genes. Our physical genes cause us to bear a resemblance to our physical parents. Now that Christ has entered our heart we are starting to bear a spiritual resemblance to Him. He has implanted a set of divine genes in those who are spiritually reborn. Our physical genes have left their mark on each of us and the clock of our mortality is winding down. The good news is that the spiritual genes of Christ are beginning to leave their mark in us and the clock of immortality is winding up. Conversations Within” ts 3/21/2013 (Selma, AL)

“Life! life! Eternal life!” Pilgrim's Progress

“Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.” Rom.5

We are painfully reminded everyday of the devastating results of our first parents decision to disobey God. But as evil permeates our world, the seed of Christ’s obedience is sprouting everywhere. Incredible acts of faith and love are growing in some unlikely places. The power of sin is seen everywhere, but the power of love will conquer. Christ was sown a seed in His death, but in his resurrection He is growing in the hearts of people everywhere. Conversations Within” ts 3/21/2013 (Camp Farrington, AL)
