Wilson Ministries: December 2013
http://blog.wilsonministries.org/2013_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 13, 2013. Proverbs 29:5 (esv): “A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.” Matthew 23:24 (esv): “Woe to you . . . you tithe . . . and have neglected . . . weightier matters . . . justice and mercy and faithfulness . . . straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel! I am so grateful for Otto Koning, a missionary to (Dutch) New Guinea. Many years ago he shared the story. Before leaving, I shaved and used the toilet. I grabbed my glasses, while flushing the toilet, only...

Wilson Ministries: January 2013

Wednesday, January 30, 2013. 8220;Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the Lord’s decree will prevail.” (Proverbs 19:21 (HCSB). It was one of those moments! Having heard about the man called Jesus, he thought it might be worth a try to see if He just might be able to do something about the desperate problem he had been having with his son. 8220;What made them so special to go with him up the high mountain? As luck would have it, the problem might disappear as well! However, the man, himself, may have bee...

Monday, January 6, 2014. EACH NEW MORNING HAS NO CLOUD. 8220; I’m going to stay at this until I’m done”, I promised myself, “. . . even if it takes me until 2 tomorrow morning! 8221; True to my own heart, I did get it done! However, in the morning, I reviewed the completed project only to find two or three glaring mistakes! I groaned, “If I didn’t have the energy to complete the task, why was I given the energy to destroy it! The book begins, “Anne is . . . ready to begin a new life tea...God’s com...

Wilson Ministries: "If Money could Talk"

Monday, August 26, 2013. If Money could Talk". You’ve heard them before – but maybe you’ve never heard these:. 8220;Money talks, but all mine ever says is ‘good-bye.” (Unknown Quotes). 8220;Money talks - everything else walks.” (African-American Proverb Quotes). 8220;When money talks – no one notices what grammar it uses.” (Unknown Quotes). 8220;A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.” Yogi Berra. Let’s think about the subject a little. If “Money Talks”, what does it say.”. Don’t you remember that the...

Wilson Ministries: September 2011
http://blog.wilsonministries.org/2011_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 14, 2011. WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SHOW FOR IT? This was a most probing question my father-in-law would ask his daughters after they had completed a baby-sitting job; summer job; or some other money-making opportunity. His children have continued asking this of their own children. It reminded me of a question I had been asked as a teenager, by the single missionary who had been left in charge of the mission in Mt. Frere, South Africa, while my parents were away, on mission business.

Wilson Ministries: November 2012
http://blog.wilsonministries.org/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 15, 2012. Proverbs 3:6) “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”. I had just bought a later model used car. On a trip to Indiana for Thanksgiving, the amber “engine light” came on. I had been used to driving older cars, so this was a new experience to me. That particular Thanksgiving, I spent most of the day at the dealership, only to discover that the computer itself had incorrectly turned the light on. The manufacturer paid the bill. For example, I was surpri...

Wilson Ministries: March 2013

Wednesday, March 20, 2013. 8220;If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! 8221; Luke 11:13 (esv). It was my chance! I was going to be the guest speaker for a church in Indiana. It didn’t take long to realize that I didn’t have that much to say! Frantically, I paged through my Bible and landed on Jesus words on prayer in Matthew 7:7 and Luke 11:5-13. It was then that the truth of what Jesus had...

Thursday, December 25, 2014. NEW CAR, CHEAP SHOES and A BENT BUMPER. Even though I have been in ministry for many years, there are still some passages that I have not really “seen” and “comprehended”. God sometimes assigns someone else to introduce me to them. One such passage I read of in Mark Batterson’s book, “In a pit with a lion on a snowy day”. Mark Batterson quotes Antoinede Saint-Exupéry before the first chapter, “You are responsible forever for what you have tamed.”. In Benoni for a picnic, givi...

Monday, September 1, 2014. I WANT A HOLE ON TOP. He stood tall and addressed the barber with a straight face, “I want a haircut just like my dad’s! 8221; Dad wasn’t there, so he replied, “And what kind of haircut does your dad have? 8221; Without hesitation he said, “He has a hole on top! 8221; Matthew 23:24 (ESV). Their spiritual lives had a "Hole on Top". Its just another way of describing laziness of heart and spirit. Thus a lazy person works harder to keep out of work, than to actually do it. It ...
