Frank’s Random Thoughts for the Week
Keep what you like as your own. Discard the rest.
- God will keep his promise to us if we keep walking with him, seeking to do his will.
- Our powerful Creator can do anything, but only within the limits of his nature that can’t change. He can’t hate the sinner, love sin, or force us to be what he wants.
- We must experience a spiritual birth in Christ before we can bear spiritual fruit.
- ChatGPT can be a valuable resource for brainstorming and research, but the mind of Christ provides a greater value than Artificial Intelligence.
- John 3:16 tells what God did for us, and 1 John 3:16 tells what we should do for him.
- With God, being humble is recognizing our smallness and his greatness, while we recognize our greatness because of what he wants to do with our smallness.
- If a liturgy doesn’t bring us closer to God, it’s a form that separates us from him.
- Many people assume that today will be much like yesterday, so they miss God’s guidance and aren’t prepared for what they don’t know will happen.

- Mountains of impossibility are climbed one possible step at a time.
- If we are as the Bible says, fearfully and wonderfully made, we’re not a copy of anybody else in the world but should love our uniqueness in Christ, made different for his unique purpose.
- The only way to have everything you want is to only want everything that God wants.
- If you want Satan to leave you alone, fully submit to the Lord, and you give the monster no reason to hang around.
- When Jesus said, “It is finished!” that was just the beginning of something much greater.
- Walking and running toward the Lord is good, but we shouldn’t overlook our baby steps and the wayward steps that need his direction.
