Articles vs Blogs

Social Media is everywhere and it's big business! The business of content writing is growing and the number of opportunities for writers is increasing right along with it!

There's an outlet for every type of writer. Do you write novels, short stories or poems? Write a book that can be in print, online or downloaded to a reader. Do you like to write shorter informative pieces about a specific topic-or maybe just keep you friends and family updated on your daily life? Write a blog.
Or, are you somewhere in the middle? Do you write articles that are between 800-1200 word articles about subjects that are important to you in which you know others would appreciate reading but would probably never see the shelves of a traditional book store? If so, check out online content writing sites such as http://hubpages.com/

The Voice of God

 
Some people say that God doesn't speak to individuals now like he did back in "Bible days" such as to King David or Moses. Others believe that the only way he speaks to us is through our conscience; like when feel bad for something we know is wrong.

But there are some that have had experiences of God speaking to them that is more than just a "feeling". Roma had just that kind of experience and his story will give you chills, bring tears to your eyes and reassure you that God is still present and active in the world through the Holy Spirit. It is that Spirit that is here in the place that you are-listening, caring and guiding!

Listen to the moving and life changing testimony of Roma!

Discipline of a Disciple


Discipline: Definition

"behavior in accord with rules of conduct; behavior and order maintained by training and control."


"a set or system of rules and regulations. "

"Ecclesiastical. the system of government regulating the practice of a church as distinguished from its doctrine."

Disciple: Definition

"a person who is a pupil or an adherent of the doctrines of another; follower"

"any follower of Christ"
 
The Discipline of a Disciple
 
To be a true disciple of Christ or to be a Christian, which means Christ-like, your life should be a witness to others of God's love and grace. It's a conscious effort we all have to make and renew daily! None of us are perfect but we strive to achieve Christ's example!

"For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope-the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good." ~ Titus 2:11-14


"His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;  and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;  and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." ~ 2 Peter 1:3-8

Happy Father's day

 
We all have a father who
loves us more than
anything in the world
or beyond!
God!
 
"We have a heavenly Father above
with eyes full of mercy
and a heart full of love...
 
He really cares
when your head
is bowed low...
 
consider the lilies
and then you will know!"
 
 
The best example
of a good father
is our loving God!
 
The best example of
a loving God
is a godly father!

A Life Inspired by God



The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.- Deuteronomy 29:29
 
The greatest inspiration to do anything
in this life is love! God is love! So, it would stand
to reason that God can inspire us all
for greatness in any and every
situation!
  


I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
 
If we keep seeking He will keep teaching! "Things revealed belong to us"!

Fruit of the Spirit

 
 
This tattoo is to remind me of what I should
strive for on a daily basis. The verse is what I
want to live by. The quill is for the inspiration
that I aspire to in my writing. All to be a positive
influence on those around me and shine
the light of Christ!
 
 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23

Ask God

 




Ask and you shall receive

Knock and the door will be opened

Seek and you will find...Matthew 7:7



Let us then approach God’s throne of grace

with confidence,

so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us

in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16



Has not my hand made all these things,

and so they came into being?” declares the Lord.

“These are the ones I look on with favor:

those who are humble and contrite in spirit,

and who tremble at my word. Isaiah 66:2

Judging Others

Be careful how you view others and remember
we are all human. We all have strengths and weakness
that may be different from those you see around you.
Show compassion.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Humans are complex creations of God.
We have layers-some good, some not.
We all have a different view of what beauty
is but we all have worth-created by God, loved by God!
 
Reserve judgment on what is different
from you. Remember that God is good.
Therefore, we should look for the goodness
of God in all His creations!

Morning Glories Beginnings:The Book



Morning Glories Devotionals started as a collection of inspired writings and was published as a book in 2009. I began writing in 2006 when the Holy Spirit spoke to me one word "write". I, of course, did what came natural. I argued. I gave every reason why I shouldn't or couldn't write. I never have-don't know how-have nothing to write about. With each excuse I received a one word rebuttal-write. Three times the Holy Spirit spoke the single word-write. So, with that, I picked up my pen and a legal pad and began writing whatever came to mind. The first couple of pieces were very short but within 2 weeks I was writing 900-1200 word stories with a new divinely inspired topic every 2 weeks. Within a year I had a substantial collection. I prayed about what I was to do with what I had accumulated. The result of my inspired labor is the book you see above. It is meant to be a study devotional with room for journaling so that your Bible study can be your own personal discovery experience. Paperback and e-book versions can be found at online bookstores worlwide. Or follow this link, https://www.amazon.com/Morning-Glories-Shawn-Tinsley-ebook/dp/B0791LQ11B
