The Neural Plastique Effect of Courage on the Mind of Christ in You.
Beneath My Rib - Trail Mix for Your Spiritual Journey
Courage is the greatest of all the virtues because all the other virtues stand on one’s courage. C.S. Lewis God commands us to be courageous and delineates the penalty for not being courageous. Kathleen asks the question in this podcast; WHY? Why is it a command and one that carries a penalty for not complying. It is very clear from the scriptures that complying with that command elicits great rewards. What are those? If we knew the rewards of courage, why wouldn’t we choose it? Fear is the answer. That may seem like an obvious binary choice; however, Kathleen digs...

THE LAST GRAB - Satan’s methodology for grabbing your free will
Beneath My Rib - Trail Mix for Your Spiritual Journey
And God saith, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them have governance over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.’ Gen.1:26 Our greatest gift from God after HE gave us life was the gift of our free will. Free will gives us authority. We have authority when we own something and are able to make a free will decision what we will do with what we own. What happens if we voluntarily give up our free will little by little until we own nothing and have...

Ecclesia: Finding the Voice and the Power of the VOTE in your life and in the Kingdom
Beneath My Rib - Trail Mix for Your Spiritual Journey
The body of believers who follow the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God and our redeemer from sin by virtue of His crucifixion and resurrection are often call ‘the Universal Church’. Jesus defines His body of believing saints as both a Family and as an Ecclesia. These two limbs of the body of believers, just like our arms and the legs, both belong to the body, but have two different functions which contribute to the whole body’s productive behavior. The church has been diligently applying themselves to the structure of the Family in recent history and trying to perfect family...

The Escalating Seduction of Purity Shaming
Beneath My Rib - Trail Mix for Your Spiritual Journey
In times of great turmoil we find the body suffering from the cracks of stress; anxiety, depression and reaching out for substances to ingest in hope of quelling the weakened and challenged physical condition. Is there a healing essential oil - a balm in Gilead- available for us? Yes, it is the essential oil of the Spirit, PURITY. Why is Purity, a condition of body, soul and Spirit, a value that we should be enamored of or solicited to acquire an ambition for its acquisition.

Reconciling Man’s Need for Sovereignty with his Abhorrence of Uncertainty
Beneath My Rib - Trail Mix for Your Spiritual Journey
At the heart of man’s instinctual response to life is an insistent, nagging, impulse to bring all uncertainty under control. We need to keep a lid on the explosive threat that uncertainty poses to becoming fear-dominated. Uncertainty keeps us from putting our hands on tools to wrestle down unwieldy circumstances. Uncertainty becomes a breeding womb for negative and frightening non-stop tapes and films occupying the real estate of our brain and soul day and night. Uncertainty eats at our peace and robs us of vision for the future. If man’s unsuccessful attempt to muscle control over...

HIDDEN - for Revelation
Beneath My Rib - Trail Mix for Your Spiritual Journey
Man is desperate for a sense of relevance in his life. We need to know our life 'counts' for something. We envision goals which we believe will mark our life as 'being worth living'. The psychological sciences tell us that man fears two things above all others; death and irrelevance. We often move through our life with a sense of being hidden - out of view - anonymous. This can lead to us feeling worthless, even a failure, mis-understood, lacking motivation and questioning our callings. But, as a Christian, God gives us understanding, wisdom and can transform how we experience...

He Knows and He Cares
Beneath My Rib - Trail Mix for Your Spiritual Journey
Being Christian doesn’t mean being exempt from suffering, but it does mean we have the opportunity to suffer differently from the world. Since suffering is definitely a part of our life in this world, we need to know how to help others and ourselves. If we trust God, suffering has redemptive qualities which God uses to bring glory(a manifestation of God’s character), maturity, compassion, understanding and faith into a believer’s life. 2Co 4:17 This light, temporary nature of our suffering is producing for us an everlasting weight of glory, far beyond any...
info_outlineThere are two tables offered to us at which we can dine. What we eat there will either strengthen us and cause us to flourish or will poisonous us and diminish our life giving properties. One is the table of the Lord and the other is the table of toxic delights. The table of toxic delights presents tempting delicacies to our emotional appetite in times of stress.
