Welcome to my personal opinion!

How has your point of view been determined? On what do you base your belief system? What shapes your opinions?

All of us look at our world around us and interpret what we see based upon our most basic beliefs. This perspective is often referred to as our "worldview." We see what goes on in the world and our world view determines whether we think those things are good or bad, positive or negative. And that worldview also determines how we will react to everything that we encounter. So you see, it really is a matter of perspective.

Up front I will confess that I hold to what is known as a Biblical Worldview. My commitment to the Bible as being the Word of God, and my faith in the One revealed to us in that totally unique book and through His Holy Spirit has provided the lens through which I view the world around me.

So, if you choose to read what I have written there will likely be some things you will agree with and some which you will not. That will be determined by your own personal worldview.

My hope is that what I write will challenge you to better understand what you have chosen to base your worldview upon, and if it is not based on the unchanging Word of God, that you might become convinced, like I am convinced, that His Word is truth and serves to guide the believer through life's journey toward the "abundant life" Jesus promised in John 10:10.

Just because!

Today has been oh so busy and it isn't nearly over. Therefore, I don't have much time to share my thoughts.

Psalm 148:5 proclaims: "Let them praise the name of the Lord, for He commanded and they were created."

Have you ever wanted to praise God but just wasn't sure what to praise Him for? That doesn't happen often, but if it does, remember Psalm 148:5. If for no other reason God is worthy of our praise because He is the Creator! We all owe our very existence to Him. And think for a moment about how intricately put together you are. Admire your fingers, consider your nose, feel your hair, smell the spring flowers, enjoy the warm breeze of springtime, soak in the suns rays, hear the bird sing . . . I could go on, and on, and on!

Our Lord is such a wonderful Father who loves us as no earthly father can. He made you for the purpose of becoming and being His friend. What a tremendous blessing! Don't let a day go by that you don't pause, at least a moment, to say "Thank you, God!"
