Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
So Many Questions. Only One Right Answer.
So ask yourself: Are you willing to trust God today? Will you watch for His activity? Will you take His Word as true - that He’s blessed you with every spiritual blessing? Will you obey Him? Every Day in His Presence, Charles Stanley
On Prayer
Prayer is a lifestyle, not an event.
Godwinks
One way God whispers to us (see https://whatnow2do.com/2020/01/29/god-whispers/) is by putting seemingly serendipitous happenings into our lives. A song, a person, a delay. Several years ago, Squire Rushnell, an American author and writer, coined the term "Godwink" to...
Which Bridges To Cross (And Which To Burn)
Recently, we were roundly criticized for telling a friend who was struggling with one of life's seemingly intractable problems, "The trouble with life is knowing which bridges to cross and which bridges to burn" (David Russell) [Paraphrased]. Having now sufficiently...
I’ve Read The Book
God wins.
Your Life
Today is your life. This is it. What are you doing with it? Are you happy? Have you asked God to guide you and will you obey when He does?
Humilitas
Most of us have spent most of our lives avoiding the people Jesus spent most of His life engaging. It's Thursday. Quit it.
God Whispers
How do you know if what you are hearing is truly a whisper from God? Run it through these five filters: 1. Is it consistent with the character of God? God, does it square with who I know You to be? 2. Is it scriptural? (Galatians 5:16-23) 3. Is it wise? 4. Is it...
On Faith And Courage

Hear My Song Lord
Hear Your children, Oh Lord we are lifting our praise to You. Let singing like incense now, rise to Your throne. Come dwell in the place hollowed out for Your Spirit. Come make of our praises, Your temple, Your home.
A Musical Endowment
Ever notice how music moves your emotions and your soul? Rock and roll. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. A great hymn. Some type of music (or more than one) can literally take ahold and move you. Or at the very least provide especial enjoyment. Ever wonder why that is?...
Three-Year-Olds
God has no trouble carrying on conversations with three-year-olds, because three-year-olds have not yet been convinced that they can be their own gods.
On Faithfulness
Know someone who needs God's saving grace? Not sure what to do? Pray that the Christians around him/her will be faithful to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
Alignment
The purpose of prayer is not to bend God to our will, but, as we pray, to align ourselves to His will. Like life and your car, if things aren't in alignment, there will be unnecessary wear, tear, pain, and cost. So what is the question? What is God's will here? And...
Faith, Surrender, and Joy
There is a link between faith, surrender, and joy. The deeper one’s walk with Christ, the deeper the joy. Let joy, then, be the barometer of my faithfulness in Christ. When joy ebbs, let me look for an area of my life that is not wholly set apart for Him.
On Life, Love, and Free Speech
Life is suffering. Love is the desire to see unnecessary suffering ameliorated. Truth is the handmaiden of love. So speech must be untrammeled. So that dialogue can take place. So that we can all humbly learn. So that truth can...
Martin Luther King Jr., Letter From A Birmingham Jail [Excerpts, Paraphrased]
An Unjust Law Is No Law At All ….One may well ask: "How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?" The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal...
On Faith
When you feel nothing, God is teaching you to live by faith.
