perspective and training for the life of the Spirit
It’s the day before the day before the night before Christmas and the song is “Santa Claus it Coming to Town.” Did I ever tell you about the time I told a little girl there is no Santa? I was not yet in kindergarten and she was younger still. She was bugging me singing this song when I was trying to watch something on TV. I turned to her and said, “Santa’s not real.” And the adult conversation came [...] Read more »
I can’t really tell you how long I’ve been blogging on RevTrev.com. All I know is I have over 800 posts and WAY TOO MANY categories. I suppose you can say the same thing about the number of plugins I have as well. That didn’t keep me from installing one more…and maybe another to help it. I’ve installed the Organize Series Plugin and so wish I had it when I started blogging. You tag your posts when you post them (unless [...] Read more »
I just found out on Twitter that I’ve been published here in the Christmas edition of Go Tell it on the Mountain available here” http://issuu.com/tellitonthemountain/docs/issue8tellitonthemountain I don’t know what pleases me more…finding out about this great magazine, being asked to submit an article, or finding out so many writers I’ve met on Twitter are featured in it as well. I don’t think I’ve announced this yet, but in 2012 I’ll be regularly posting different pieces of fiction I’ve been writing. [...] Read more »
It seems this site is always in flux. It’s worse than our house, but that reminds me I need to remodel the bathroom. I promised myself to stop blogging about what I want to do since I found out it when you tell others about your plans you have a far less chance of getting those plans done. It’s because when we tell, instead of keeping us accountable, we psychologically feel the project is closer to being done than it [...] Read more »
What is the Nature of God? We have the Bible to tell us about God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Let’s take an overview. Father Son Holy Spirit Called God Philemon 1:2 John1:1,14; Col. 2:9 Acts 5:3,4 Creator Genesis 1:1; Isaiah 64:8 John 1:3; Col, 1:16 Job 33:4; 26:13 Resurrects Genesis 1:1; 1 Thes. 1:10 John 2:19, 10:17 Romans 8:11 Indwells 2 Corinthians 6:16 Col 1:27; Gal 2:20 John 14:17, Rom 8:9-11 Everywhere 1 Kings [...] Read more »
How do you make it easy to get people interested in helping you tell their friends and connections about what you’re doing? Make it easy for them to tweet. On a blog it’s easy to add a reweet or share button. I really recommend the Topsy Retweet Button because it keeps an accurate account of the retweets – something other buttons don’t always do well. It also counts the tweets as trackbacks and comments tend to get started when a [...] Read more »
Last year I learned that people who tell what they are going to do are much less likely to get it done than people who don’t talk about their plans. So since then I’ve been working like a orangutan mother picking mites from her clinging baby to get plans into action. I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag too soon, but I’m getting so excited about something that I can’t help but share a bit. I [...] Read more »
Can you tell I’ve been watching YouTube this afternoon? As I waited for my video to upload I started watching videos by Bill Johnson. Here’s one I haven’t heard in a while. It’s a great one on friendship with God. Are you a friend or servant of God? Tweet Read more »
Here’s another question a reader sent me recently. You can read more of the answers here. Question: What Can You Tell Me About Burdens? Answer: Beatriz, There are burdens we are meant to bear and burdens we aren’t supposed to carry. I wrote this series to help people know the difference. I’ve done a series on “Living Light“ is that what you were looking for? It covers topics like: How to Not Grow Weary 4 Ways to Practically Stay Yoked [...] Read more »
It’s my wife’s birthday! I can’t say enough good things about Karen. Really. I can’t. I’ve tried and it doesn’t even come close to describing her…and I love to use words. Did you know she made the necklace and ear rings she’s wearing today? She made some for somebody in church before that. She writes songs, she photoshops, she does cards and crafts and is teaching herself piano. She knits..or crochets…I think it’s both, but I know its one. She [...] Read more »
Oh the joys! A couple of weeks ago I realized all my sites got hacked. It took a while to find the holes and plug them up. It took longer to remove the 450 links to pharmaceutical companies on my sites. I had to manually clean them all out. Now I see I missed a link. I don’t see any signs of open doors so I’m confident the security I put into place is holding. Still it’s been inserted 140 [...] Read more »
In our last post in this series of “How Big Is Your But?” I wrote about if we really have any options but to obey God. Of course it’s our choice to disobey, but often we excuse it to the point of not even acknowledging that we are not doing what He’s told us to do or doing what He’s told us not to do. Here are three lies I first saw on Perry Noble’s blog. They are worth repeating [...] Read more »

Knowing Whose we are empowers us to live out His dreams for us. This message may not tell you anything you don’t already know, but it will help you to not just hold it as an idea in your head or a sentiment in your heart, [...] Read more »
Has God really promised good to us? The fourth verse of John Newton’s “Amazing Grace” has us singing it so…what does the Bible say? There are two great verses that tell us our Good God wants good for us. I know there are many more, but these two come with the conditions Promises for good O fear the LORD, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no want. The young lions do lack and suffer hunger; [...] Read more »
