Update Notes

Updated Friday, March 29, 2002 10:16:20

Upcoming Writings based on Original Thoughts

  • Names Each Individual Name is very important to God. That Name, when associated with its unique ancestry, is the definitive label of its person.
  • Events God, Our Father, takes a great deal of care with detail. This sometimes causes events to transpire at a slower rate.
  • Creation God has needs. He creates what he needs. He created us.
  • Faith Don't dilute your faith
  • Giving Giving from the heart is our finest and most beautiful way of imitating God's Grace. This is why we all love Christmas so. Through our giving of gifts, we are reenacting the love that God showed us when He gave us His Son, Jesus. A person who gives is not poor.
  • Problems When we use the Scripture of removing the mountain, for the purpose of removing a problem, we should be prepared to establish a mountain of blessing and praise in its place. Mark 11:23
  • Testimony Each word we speak - Each act we do becomes our testament of ourselves. Just as we read the Word of God to truly KNOW God and His Son, Jesus, God is diligently studying the lives we lead through our actions and words, comparing those actions and words with the intents of our hearts. Most often, He just loves us anyway.
  • Faithfulness God tells us that if we are faithful in little, we will be faithful in much. This truth can be applied not only to comparing the lesser responsibilities in this world with the greater responsibilities, but also to the comparison of our caring for anything we are given in life to the care of the spiritual gifts we are given. For instance:
    • 1. Caring for Loved Ones - Caring for those God brings into our lives.
    • 2. Keeping a small house neat and clean - Keeping a large home - Preparing for our eternal home.
    • 3. Taking care of our natural bodies, what we eat and how we exercise and rest - Taking care of the inner spirit given to us by God, what we feed it (preferably the Word over television violence and pornography), how we exercise our faith and how we pray - preparing for the heavenly body which God has promised to provide.
    • 4.Taking care of personal business matters - Taking care of job or business matters of any kind - Taking care of God's business.
    • 5.Joyful tithing, giving of offering and alms in our everyday life - Joyful tithing, giving of offering and alms in our business - distribution of God's money in a ministry.
    • 6.Studying the Word of God diligently to become more enlightened to His truth - Sharing the Word of God in joyful witness to others that they may become enlightened - Eternal life in the Word, God's loving presence throughout eternity
  • Knowledge Allowing argument about the Word of God. Once we begin arguing about our "interpretation" or our "opinion" or our "point of view" or our "religion", we leave an opening for someone to suspect the depth of our faith in God and God's Word. You KNOW what you KNOW. Keep your mouth shut unless God gives you the annointing to speak.
  • Intimacy "Knowing" your helpmate. The intimate bond, both physical and spiritual, between the husband and wife.
  • God's Name Using God's name in vain - we're not talking about cussing, we're talking about using His Name lightly. "God Bless You." "God Loves you." Don't use these terms lightly unless you have a clear understanding of their power.
  • Attention What do you spend the most time thinking about? What do you know most about?
  • Our Lord Now that Jesus is YOUR Lord, get used to it.
  • Healing Every atom celebrating God! The spiritual knowledge of healing applied mentally and physically
  • Believing It's easier and wiser to believe from the "inside" than from the outside ( Jesus as Lord - knowing about Jesus). A Personal God.
  • Idolatry Don't replace God with religion
  • Born Again New Creature announcements. How to live as a Christian among those who knew us "before."
  • Glory We're Part of His riches in glory
  • Nonbelievers OK! Let's be "realistic"! Dealing with the nonbeliever
  • Doubt Don't get eaten up by the "WHAT IF" Lions. (Daniel in the lions' den).

Lots MORE where these came from! Stay tuned!

Since these thoughts are inspired by God's Word, they do not belong to me exclusively. If you are a Christian writer or a preacher, please make use of any of these themes with my blessings. If we both happen to write on the same concept, then just like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, we can bless others by our different perspectives on that theme. I very much enjoy hearing that what I have written inspires others. So if these thoughts inspire or encourage you in any way, I am truely blessed. This pertains to all the writings on this site. Let's all glorify God together!

As a child growing up, I can remember my grandmother telling me stories of one of my ancestors, who was a circuit rider. A circuitrider is generally known as a minister who travels from town to town on horseback spreading the Gospel.

In this Web Site, I attempt to honor not only my ancestor's memory, but also his efforts. Like my ancestor, I have an urge to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. Now I am realizing a lifelong desire to share what I have learned through essays dedicated to telling about Jesus, His Gospel and His Salvation.

My husband, Dan, and I have Bible study every morning and we enjoy Christian television on Sundays and weekdays. I am very interested in conversation with other Christians about God's Word.

Although I'm not an ordained minister, I believe that we who call ourselves Christian and who truly love the Word of God should act on the words that He speaks to us in Mark 16:15-16

"Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believes and is Baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."

In this Website, you will see that I am beginning my own circuit. I come to you with the Word of Jesus, and in the name of Jesus, you will be blessed with enlightenment and will come to know that Jesus Christ is Lord.

U That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:9

The Circuit Rider's New Home

For those who have been to the Circuit Rider before, the new pages here are chosen to enhance your experience and encourage a sense of peace as you go from room to room. All of my essays are still here, and you can access them in the library or by the navigation bar at the bottom of each page. I hope you will enjoy the new look and let it remind you of this verse

U Let the Peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Colossians 3:15-17
