Inspired By M. K. Gandhi

Gandhi identified with the simple and the humble. This is what I find inspiring about him.


We shall not want

The Lord shall provide the needs of his people.


Jesus Stands At Your Door

Will you trust in Jesus Christ and let him in today? Will you seek his wisdom above your own wisdom, and will you seek his life above your life?


This Is What I Teach

Success, Victory and Prosperity in the Christian Life

When I first went to Christ I thought that he would make me successful, victorious and prosperous in life. Now I still believe that success, victory and prosperity are worthy goals in the Christian life, but they don't seem as important as they did once.

The Sayings of Samuel Godfrey George - July 2013


Why is it difficult for you to show faith in God who never changes? God Himself shows faith in you who are always changing your mind.

Our very breath testifies to a living God.

Every justifiable expression of anger should be characterized by restraint.

To give love without expecting to get love can only be God's way. To love those who are not easy to love can only be God's way. To repay evil with good can only be God's way. The devil cannot take credit for any of these actions.

May we reflect on the words of the Lord's Prayer and desire His goals for us.

It is in seeking forgiveness and in forgiving that healing is obtained. I have been particularly insensitive to unbelievers in God. Who am I to judge them? I have been asked to only share God with them lovingly. And so far I haven't achieved this. So I seek the forgiveness of God and those whom I have hurt.

Today God has brought me to a place of brokenness. I recognize my great sin, which is pride. I have been proud and resistant to God and His image. I have directed this pride against His people. And of pride I repent today. May God forgive my insensitivity to others. May the people of God forgive me. May God send healing to me today.

God, you are the function in my dysfunction.

Today if you want to get do not fail to give.

Let us not be so busy being desperate about our present troubles that we forget to thank God for his many past benefits, and let us not forget that he is still with us ready to help us.

When you are bothered by what you do not have, rejoice in what you have.

Be calm in the silence. Listen to your own mind.

Blessed are my small beginnings.

After you throw off everything that hinders it is still a race that has to be run.

Let your faith not worry itself to death but let it be sure of Him Who inspires your hope.

This is the greatest thing that I have done in my life - this service to God. Thank you Lord for letting me do it.

When I think of my past and what I did once it is not easy for me to see the person that I have become. Yet I must shout the truth from the rooftop: I am a new person in Christ. And I have the mind of Christ!

It is for light that I was born. It is to speak the words of light that my voice was given. So let me stay in the light and not return to the darkness.




Is Jesus the only way to God?

What about the good people who didn't believe in Jesus Christ? Will they not receive salvation?


The Benefit of Adversity

The more I am in trouble the closer I get to God.


Let us encourage and reassure one another

Sometimes in life we are in a lonely and scary place. That is the time when we need to be reassured daily of God's faithfulness.

Jesus Will Look At The Heart

How does Jesus look at his people who are so divided? The question came up recently in a discussion regarding divisions in the Church.


This Is My Message

God is not a terrible person. He is not the awful disciplinarian that I thought he was. I have come to see him as a loving, understanding and sympathetic God. And he is not out to punish me. He loves me and wants me to share his love with others.

Jesus Christ Is The Way To God

The essence of the Christian faith is the belief that Jesus Christ is the only way to God and eternal life with God.

Let God Control My Thoughts

Only a higher nature can quell a lower nature. It is impossible in human terms to control ones' thoughts. That is why God must help a man control his thoughts.


Do NOT Condemn

Christ came into the world not to condemn the world but to save the world. As followers of Christ let us endeavour to do the same.


The Most Important Thing Is Love

To love one another is probably the principal commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ. This must take precedence over any preoccupation with sin, which makes a person self-involved.

I Will Be Polite

Communication without restraint is an offense.


Restraint and Tact in Communication

If a speaker cannot consider a listener's feelings he should rather not speak at all.


False Preachers

Every preacher makes mistakes. Every teacher has some fault. In this world there is a need for compassion and understanding. And above all there must be a desire to learn from everyone and everything. One must see the good in everything and must avoid the impulse to condemn someone or something as false.


Freedom of Expression

Freedom of expression does not mean that one is free to say whatever one wants, regardless of another person's feelings.


Who am I to judge you?

We are here to build each other up, and not to tear each other down.


Using Words Carefully

How I have learned to speak politely


I Will Not Judge Your Heart

Only God judges the heart and truly knows the inner man. A man cannot even understand his own heart. In that case, how can he judge another man's heart?

I Cannot Choose Disbelief In God

Troubles have assailed me. Some prayers remain unanswered. But I'm in no mood to give up my hope yet. If I did there is nothing else for me.


Life Is The Evidence For God

Our very breath testifies to a living God.


Is The Evidence For God Not Clear?

The evidence for God is present in the life that we see in and around us. However the kind of evidence that some people require for believing in God cannot be given as God is not scientifically observable. He is so for a good reason. He is an invisible God and requires to be accepted in faith.


The Evidence For God Is You

Your existence is the best evidence for God.

The Right Response to Trouble - King Jehoshaphat

When King Jehoshaphat faced unprecedented trouble he decided to pray for a miracle.


Reacting to Signs and Dreams

What do certain signs and dreams mean? And what should be our first reaction to them?

When God doesn't seem good and powerful

For some people God is not a welcome subject. He seems improbably good and powerful. In fact some totally deny his existence. But if God exists, how can we explain his goodness and power in the wake of many disquieting questions?


God Saved Me From Trouble

Once more God saved me from trouble. Thank you Lord for sending help.

Dedicated to Marty and Wayne
