We've talked about how to use our words. And now, with all the news coming out about the horrendous events from the Middle East, I think we need to talk about speaking up. But let's not focus on our petty arguments, let's talk about what matters to God. After all we are to share the … Continue reading Let’s Speak Up

Do My Words Matter?
Over the past couple of weeks, the Lord has directed me to verses that deal with spoken words. (James 1, 3) Initially, I wondered what action of mine had caught God's need for instruction. Then sermons I listened to began to focus on how and what we speak as well as actions taken. As things … Continue reading Do My Words Matter?
What To Do When You Are Wrong
In my younger years, I took pleasure in being right. If I was told I did something wrong, I'd argue with my accuser and give some reason for my actions. I don't remember ever saying I was wrong. It was extremely hard to admit I had erred. Then one day I witnessed someone admit a … Continue reading What To Do When You Are Wrong
Marji’s Book
Today I want to support a fellow author, Marji Laine, by telling you about her newest book. The title is A Giant Murder. I have read many of her books and they have all been excellent reads. Her newest book follows in that same line. The story is set in the 1920's and from her … Continue reading Marji’s Book
Where Is The Holy Spirit?
Recently, during a lesson on the Holy Spirit, the Lord showed me a word picture. When we accept Jesus as our Savior… when we ask Him to live within us… an incredible thing happens. We get the Holy Trinity. (John1:33; Acts 1:4-5) That’s right. This is so cool. I don’t have to shout to get … Continue reading Where Is The Holy Spirit?
Change is Coming
If Jesus came back tomorrow would you be ready? If you looked up in the sky and saw a sign from heaven would you be ready to go? The truth is Jesus is coming back soon and our time is getting shorter. God's getting ready to do a big thing. That will bring a big … Continue reading Change is Coming
Parting The Red Sea
In a recent lesson about Moses and the parting of the Red Sea, I saw the nation of Israel from a different perspective. They were called by God to leave Egypt. Whether the Israelites wanted to go or not, the Egyptians were glad to see them leave. So much so, that riches were bestowed to … Continue reading Parting The Red Sea
Blameless Noah
Recently in reading the account of Noah in Genesis 6, I was struck by the words "only blameless" and "blameless in his generation". Those words had never sparked my mind before. It was like a light bulb going on when I realized that Noah was considered blameless. There's only one other person I think of … Continue reading Blameless Noah
What is Truth?
Years ago, after my grandmother passed away my siblings and I found a love letter buried deep in a chest of stored treasures. The man apologized and told her he would never hurt her again. His name was not my grandfather's name. My heart broke for her. She had known love and lost it. And, … Continue reading What is Truth?
Being in the Middle
In the past, I have mistakenly believed that if I do what God wants of me then things will go well. That if God is in it, there will be no confrontations, no resistance, no battles to fight. That things will fall into place without any problems. But I was wrong. The more I study … Continue reading Being in the Middle
