bhodili added a link contribution It's My Room!Today my daughter, Marina, and I got into a big fight over her room. Since she was a small child, Marina's room has always been a bit of a disaster area. It regularly looks like a small tornado, or micro-burst, started to go through her room; realized half-way through that the tornado was actually making the room cleaner, and then just gave up. Our 9 yr-old son is much the same way with cleanliness, except he shares his room with Phillip, who likes to keep his toys in their original boxes.… Read more »

bhodili added a link contribution An Incredible RevelationIt was 11:45 PM a few nights ago, Mary had gone to sleep and I felt this strong compulsion to read the Bible. I read some from Psalms and Isaiah, but what really struck me was Romans. Chapters 2-3 just opened my eyes to understanding several things. It was amazing because through the Holy spirit I finally understood the purpose of the Law, or Old Testament, and how we fit into the law and God's righteousness.

I can't even begin to explain enough how much of a difference reading God's Word first thing in the morning brings to my whole day.

It says, He reached down from on high and took hold of me, He drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from… Read more »

bhodili added a text contribution Unending power and unending loveIn Job 38:4-41 and following into Job 39:1-30 the Lord give Job some perspective by demonstrating some of the works of His hands. He talks about the creation of the universe as well as many other grand/large scale activities that he does. In the modern day church, we do so much talking about the love of God and the personal relationship with God, that we can forget how truly awesome and powerful God is. The danger of thinking of God as only our personal god, is that we can start to think that… Read more »

bhodili added a text contribution The Heart of the MatterThis morning I read Job 31:9-12 which really spoke to me, especially Job 31:9-10 which says: "If my heart has been enticed by a woman or if I have lurked at my neighbor's door, then may my wife grind another man's grain, and may other men sleep with her." Job states that if his heart has been captured by another woman, then his wife may as well sleep with other men because that is the same that he has done by giving his heart to another. The word "enticed" is suc… Read more »
