A Father's Blessing
Shortly before Jacob, who was also called Israel, passed away, he took the time to formally bless his twelve sons. The giving of a father's blessing is not something that most people are familiar with in our own day. Although, I am aware that this has become more popular in some circles, but my guess is that most people wouldn't understand why something like this is important.

How Great Is Our God?
Have you ever thought about how great our God is and just how much he actually loves us? We tend to imagine that he is a certain way and does things the way we are. We know it is wrong to create an idol and bow ourselves down to it, but how many times do we do that in our minds by imagining God to be a certain way? Too many times we tend to put God in a box or draw a line in the sand and say that God is inside these parameters. The next thing we know God is over there somewhere using a person that does not fit inside our box. And what do we do? Many times we write it off as from the Devil because, by the way, the Devil is powerful too.

We must first be born again in order to fulfill the plan he has for us.

Is What Jesus Did and Said Enough?
I have often asked the question, "What is my faith based on?" ¨ Is it based on the word of God? ¨ Is it based on some creed or belief system? ¨ Is it based on some man, or just because grandpa said so? ¨ Is it based on tradition or even in a church or particular denomination? What is the foundation on which I am building on? ¨ With all the political shaking going on in the world and all the economic instability, will my faith be able to stand? ¨ What if persecution comes to America, will my faith stand the test?

Nonconformity
Romans 12:2 Says, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect will of God. I have been meditating on this scripture for quite a while and I am sure most of us have heard this verse quoted many times. But have we ever really stopped to think what this verse is really talking about?
