    Posted on Monday, February 14th, 2022 | Tagged: @carol_mcclain, 7 steps to happiness, goats, how to be happy, how to find happiness, joy, Proverbs 10:28, Writing Redemption

    @carol_mcclain The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing. Proverbs 10:28 Do you find happiness elusive these days? I mean, we’ve got supply chain issues, COVID issues, Russian issues, and probably a lack of tissues to combat the tears caused by our issues. Take a lesson from goats. …[ read more ]

  • Why Trust God
    Posted on Wednesday, February 2nd, 2022 | Tagged: Borrowed Lives, Carol McClain, how to trust God, Isaiah 40:31, Isaiah 55:12, Job 8:21, Psalm 121: 7-8, Trusting God is like riding a roller coaster, Why trust God, Writing Redemption

    @carol_mcclain Why do I love roller coasters?   They’re safe. They’re designed by engineers who know (not people like me who would have a hard time engineering a box). They’re tested so no one would be hurt. Thousands of people have ridden the ride before me. They take me places I could never go on …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain [3] And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

    @carol_mcclain A lifetime fled without my ever having glimpsed a comet. In 1973 Kahoutec visited our skies when I lived in New York City. With the city’s manmade display of lights, my chances of seeing Kahoutec were non-existent. Actually, the city had little to do with my ability to witness the comet. I was too …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain Isaiah 61:3 “(God will) provide for those who grieve in Zion–to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display …[ read more ]

    • Ten Ways to be Filled with the Holy Spirit

        @carol_mcclain "Don't be drunk with wine, be filled with the Spirit!" 1 Cor.5:18 According to John Piper, how do we get drunk with wine? We drink it. Lots of it. So how do we get drunk with the Holy Spirit? Immerse yourself in God. Drink in lots of Him. Read your Scriptures. Pray. Sing Psalms and hymns and contemporary Christian music. Listen to edifying Christian stations. Avoid our entertainment that celebrates sinful behavior--alcohol, sex, foul language. Hang out with practicing, like-minded Christians. Go to church.
