A few thoughts from Menomonie


  • Wherever we are, there is a right step to take.
  • A true apology contains no self-justification.  If we're still trying to justify ourselves, we can't come under the blood of Jesus.
  • What Jesus offers helps everybody.
  • The Lord defines what sin is.
  • The graciousness of God is to tell us the truth about ourselves before it's too late.
  • God's putting so much effort into us because He wants us to make it.  We'd like to be more aware of the effort He's putting into our salvation.
  • Waiting time is not wasted.  We don't have to wait idly.  God can prepare us to be ready at the right time.
  • We have all the help we need to be a bright light.
  • What we devote our time to is what will prosper.
  • Jesus displayed in a human body how God's will can be done on earth as it is in heaven.
  • It takes the spirit of a child to trust the Father implicitly.
  • God will never expect a change in us that He can't perform.
  • Charity doesn't keep a record of wrongs.
  • What speaks to others is what God does in us.
  • Not one word is in the Bible to fill up space.
  • It's submission, not determination, that will help us to be faithful.
  • Keeping ourselves out of the picture can change the whole situation.
  • What God has cleansed is clean.
  • Believing the gospel sets us apart.  It doesn't exalt us in any way, but it separates us from what is unlike God.
  • God wouldn't call us if He couldn't keep us.
  • Dwelling on our failures doesn't glorify God.
  • Don't get so wrapped up in natural things that you'd be unavailable for God to use you.
  • If we get to know God better, we will trust Him more.
  • God can fully satisfy us if we have the right kind of hunger.
  • Repenting and having a purpose go together.
  • When the devil brings up our past failures, don't ask God for forgiveness again.  Instead, thank Him for forgiving us already.
  • A living hope will motivate us to make right decisions.
  • Don't trifle with wrong thoughts.
  • When we love God more, we will love others more.
  • What we don't get victory over will control us.
