JESUS FIRST Matthew 6:24ESV – No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. Jesus does not compete for second place I wonder how many readers stopped reading with that scripture mentioning money. We can identify another way of looking at it in 2 Timothy 3:1-5ESV – 1But understand this, that in the last days there…..
Transparency Let Me Be Transparent with everyone willing to read this blog. The last couple of years have been challenging with any writing I desired to accomplish. There have been physical complications for both my husband and me. I will not negate the seriousness of any of the conditions, but neither will I validate the enemy’s tactics against us. I will only boast about how good God is while walking through the storms of life. I will applaud God for…..
JESUS LOVES ME We learn as youngsters the song “Yes, Jesus Loves Me”. And we continue the song with, “Yes, Jesus Loves Me; the Bible tells me so”. (I hear you singing it.) But through our years of sin, guilt, and shame, we may question the validity of that song and its relevance to our own lives. We wonder how the God of the universe, the creator of all things beautiful, could still love me. My friend, the…..
Night of Uncertainty I was recently reminded that the disciples had a time of uncertainty when they were crossing the Sea of Galilee and a fierce gale of wind like a tornado came upon them. They woke Jesus explaining, “Master, Master, we are about to die!” (Luke 8:22-24 in the Amplified Version) I interrupt this story to identify ourselves in this moment. Yes, the storms in our lives are extreme at times. You currently may be facing the storm of…..
What Is It What is it? Why is your heart broken? I can’t seem to let February go without addressing an issue of the heart. We love to celebrate our love on Valentine’s Day, February 14th. February has also become “Heart Month” to promote a healthy heart and lifestyle. However, this February I have noticed that numerous people are heartbroken. As I listen to their stories, it prompts the question “What is it, what is the root of the problem?”…..
A Forge At 2:37 am on October 28, 2024, I was awakened by the words “A Forge”. I quickly got up to write these words and as I was walking, I heard more, “A Forge is coming, press through.” While waiting for more interpretation of what the Lord was saying, I heard in my Spirit, “When does a light get the brightest? In the dark.” I received nothing more and I did not want to rely on my emotions, for…..
I Must Tell Jesus! I knew it was time to write a monthly blog and nothing in particular was on my heart, yet so much was. Suddenly I started singing the song, “I Must Tell Jesus” and I ran to get the hymn book for the verses. I started exclaiming, “YES, that is the answer for all the people that are on my heart today. They must tell JESUS their troubles, they must tell JESUS what is on their hearts…..
What Choices Are You Making? There are many choices to be made in this life, so this is a beneficial question to ask yourself: “What Choices Are You Making” today? Our choices shape our future and can take us in many directions. Our choices affect us and those around us, those we love. It is most important to keep all this in mind. My husband recently traveled through airports from the East to the West Coast. Throughout his journey, he…..
Jesus Loves This Hot Mess When I found this little sign “Jesus Loves This Hot Mess” recently, I quickly snatched it to purchase for myself. For many times I have wondered, “Why God do you continue to contend with me?” I have talked with enough people to know I am not alone in questioning God in this manner. But we realize that God sees our destiny, He knows the outcome of who we are becoming, and we see the Holy…..
The Message of the Cross 1 Corinthians 1:18 – For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. The message of the cross seems to be different for many of us today. To those who have been saved by the cross of Jesus Christ, it means everything. It is our salvation, our hope, it is life eternal. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He…..
