I’ve added a new site: Bergsland Books

Skilled Workman Posted on January 23, 2010 by David BergslandMay 16, 2015

As I get ramped up to submit my new novel to publishers (and enter it in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award), it has become increasingly obvious that I need a separate site for my fiction. So I resurrected my old domain bergsland.org and converted it to Bergsland Books. http://bergsland.org and who knew it would be transformed to The Skilled Workman?  Life is full of surprises. It’s up and running with some simple stuff for Black Sail: a Christian covert … Continue reading →

Everyone does what is right in their own eyes…

Skilled Workman Posted on October 4, 2009 by David BergslandOctober 4, 2009

Judges 17:6 (English Standard Version) In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Isn’t this the state of us today? A lack of leadership, plus a rugged individualism. In the world it is indeed hopeless. Our so-called leaders are corrupt and they follow the sheep and/or the flesh—lost in the futility of their minds. So, how do we get beyond this? I must admit I’ve gotten to the … Continue reading →

Arise & shine: word for the day

Skilled Workman Posted on August 30, 2009 by David BergslandAugust 30, 2009

OK! It was a surprise to me also (and maybe it’s only for me). I’ve been praying all day for guidance and direction. I end up at Isaiah 60. The first verses just leapt off the page at me. Isaiah 60 (English Standard Version) Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and his … Continue reading →

Got slapped upside the head last night…

Skilled Workman Posted on August 29, 2009 by David BergslandAugust 29, 2009

As those of you who know me have probably figured out, I’m going through a major period of adjustment in my life. Last night my remote stopped on a broadcast by Joyce Meyers. Man, that woman can preach! She really helped me see some things about myself that need serious work. The Holy Spirit comes through again. Thank you, Lord. It’s good to be reminded that even though I may have an accurate vision of where the … Continue reading →

Making sense of your life…

Skilled Workman Posted on August 27, 2009 by David BergslandAugust 27, 2009

Easier said than done, huh? I’ve been contemplating this issue now that I’ve “retired” — wondering what the Lord would have me do with the rest of  my life. I tend to go by what He blesses. But that is certainly not a reliable indicator. You have to make certain of several things to do that: Are you following His lead? If not any blessings on your direction are probably from the Creep. Are you hearing from … Continue reading →

Being ready: this is not optional!

Skilled Workman Posted on August 9, 2009 by David BergslandAugust 9, 2009

I was praying this morning and was brought back to the verses in Matthew 24 about his next coming in power. I could talk for hours about how I think that might work. What His name might be. Who will be raptured and when. But I was reminded by the words of my favorite pastor. I was her associate pastor for many years, and I taught quite a bit on end-times speculation (for that is what it … Continue reading →

If design is your calling, it’s your ministry

Skilled Workman Posted on July 22, 2009 by David BergslandJuly 22, 2009

Oh my God — NO! We do not need Bible thumping obnoxious brats in graphic design. We are to be salt, not spice One of the most difficult things for a new Christian to realize is that beating people over the head with Jesus is counter-productive. Jesus called us the salt of the world. Salt has a very special job and it is used in very special ways when we eat. Salt is a preservative It keeps … Continue reading →

It’s all vanity, so why bother?

Skilled Workman Posted on July 16, 2009 by David BergslandJuly 16, 2009

So, why do we do the things we do? I certainly hope that your answer is not “because I want to”. It would be nice to be able to assume that we are all doing what we do because of a higher level of motivation than that. But Solomon had it right… Again I am reminded of Oswald Chamber’s statement that you can always tell who the true believers are by the fact that they are sitting … Continue reading →

Do you pray while you are shopping?

Skilled Workman Posted on July 8, 2009 by David BergslandJuly 8, 2009

If not, why not? God has clearly indicated that He cares deeply about everything we do down to the smallest detail. In fact, his smallest details are much more minute than I am capable of keeping track of on any real level. How far should you take this? As far as you like. My experience is that the Lord delights in our attempts to understand him better and use his wisdom more deeply in our lives. So … Continue reading →

Understanding the difference between your burden and your load

Skilled Workman Posted on February 1, 2009 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

The key to understanding the difference between your burden and your load is the words of Galatians 6. It’s a fairly large difference.  Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.5 For each one … Continue reading →
