While most of us, in public, are quick to say that we believe whatever God says in His Word, we don't, in private, act much like we believe it. And God’s promises become only a collection of words in our brain. As long as we are caught up in small...mikemelin2015-11-03T15:51:2851 views00:03:17 - Healing as an Acquired Skill

The advantage of running your own personal health and wellness program, through the Word of God, is most obvious when you wake up to a symptom in the middle of the night. You can just bring the appropriate Word to your mind, listen for any special...mikemelin2015-11-02T07:56:2863 views00:02:46 - Getting Away with Nothing

It's certainly impossible to hang on to envy and hatred when we experience the holiness of God. It's hard enough to stand upright when we experience even a measure of His holiness, let alone hang on to anything that's not of Him. mikemelin2015-10-28T20:31:25175 views00:02:47 - Where’s the Justice?

Knowing what is better is not the same as doing what is better. To do what is better requires motivation, and motivation comes from understanding the true consequences of following our own agenda. But we simply don't realize the lasting effects on...mikemelin2015-10-27T19:06:2477 views00:03:29 - A Little More Transparency Please!

Can you agree that every one of us is guilty of rattling off religious one‐liners just for the sake of appearance? While we might be able to fool other people into believing the show we put on, maybe it would be in our best interest to be a little...mikemelin2015-10-26T20:36:23158 views00:01:59 - One Step at a Time

I don't think we could handle a complete revelation of what God has for us—not all at one time. That would be like a small child being put in command of a space shuttle. Our dreams must mature as we mature. And this is a never‐ending process if we...mikemelin2015-10-22T10:36:22176 views00:02:20 - Right Dream, Wrong Direction

While I may have the general direction I want to go in life, I really have no business in trying to get there on my own. We were not designed to direct our own steps. Even if we have the right destination in mind, we lack knowledge of the terrain....mikemelin2015-10-21T13:41:22107 views00:01:50 - A Cooperative Effort

When something is messed up in your life, do you just assume that you’ll have to fix it yourself—or do you turn it over to God? But what if you can’t fix it all on your own—and what if God won’t fix it all on His own?
With God—it’s not an ei...mikemelin2015-10-20T17:16:22173 views00:02:07 - Whose Agenda

We are creatures of habit, and change doesn’t come easy. Even if the chair we're used to sitting in isn't the most comfortable chair in the room, we don't like to change places. Change is usually forced on us by something or other. I certainly don...mikemelin2015-10-19T07:56:2198 views00:03:04 - A Serious Disconnect

Though we may not want bad news, we act like we expect it. But if we want our desires and our expectations to be the same, it’s just not enough for us to understand and accept what Jesus did for us in eternity. We must understand and accept what J...mikemelin2015-10-12T10:20:19196 views00:03:01 - What Does God Have to Do with It?

What does God have to do with health and healing? As Christians, don’t we answer one way, but usually act another? Hasn’t something gone seriously haywire, whenever we trust the medical community first—before trusting God?mikemelin2015-10-08T11:20:18195 views00:01:47 - A Child or an Orphan?

Continually trying to please God by my good works is like trying to ride a bicycle by not falling off. I can't get anywhere—trying to ride a bicycle by not falling off.

Even those of us with a healthy childhood have had enough exposure to negligent adults in other areas of our lives that we've kind of soured on the sanctity of family.

When we don't feel good we don't feel like doing anything for anyone else. Disease and sickness become words on a big red sign that stops us in our tracks.

There’s only so much pie to go around—or so we’re told. The world says we’re about to run out of … you name it, just fill in the blank.
