In our life, there are moments when we feel depleted, or discouraged, or maybe even alone. It's in these moments that we must go to the word of God and get a fresh taste of the bread that can sustain us. Matthew 4:4 says..." But he answered and said, it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
Read MoreLadies, are you a Jairus or the woman with the issue of blood? Looking or waiting for a miracle? Have you been thronged? Knowing if you just touch the border of His garment, will you be changed? Have you changed? Have thanked Him publicly?
Read MoreMemories of our God who has been so very faithful to me all these years. His love and
gratitude of sacrifice shown to me he has shown before I was born.
Just Make memories! (“That appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”)
When you pick up one of those memories just pray, reflect and thank the Lord for his goodness
and nconditional love.
Read MoreAbby, one of the greatest things you can do in your marriage… is keep God in the center of it.
Not just on church days.
Not just when things are hard.
But in EVERYTHING.
Read MoreThe shadows may be dark and frightening, but just like that nightlight, God’s presence drives away the terror that darkness tries to bring, allowing us to find rest in Him.
Read MoreThe book of Proverbs, we know, is a book of wisdom. Literally – a book compiled of wise sayings, truths, and proverbs. Wisdom pertaining to spiritual things, how to treat others, wisdom in raising a family, how to treat a neighbor, etc. Figurative and literal, the use of the word ‘wisdom’ is used so many times and in so many ways, even personified as one that crieth in the streets.
Read MoreIf we want to make sure that we keep the right perspective, then we need to keep our focus on what matters and remember that the same God that saved us is the same God that will stay with us. Too often we miss seeing what God can do because we are focused on the wrong things.
Read MoreSamuel was speaking to the children of Israel people who had seen God work.
They had watched Him provide, protect, rescue, forgive, and guide them.
And yet Samuel pauses everything and says,
“Stop. Think. Remember. CONSIDER.”
Read MoreIf you have been a Christian and served the lord for a long time then you have probably been asked to help out in a ministry in your church. Maybe you have been asked to help in the Baby Nursery, be a Sunday Greeter, or help with The Big Day! The list is endless.
Read MoreMy husband, six of our children, and I spent just about 24 hours a day/7 days a week together. We ate together, rode in airplanes and cars together, sometimes all slept in the same room together, played games together, and shared one bathroom for most of that time in different homes and hotels from West to East, from North to South. I told my husband before we left the Philippines that we were either going to love each other more or hate each other by the time this was over. I happy to say that we still love each other.
Read MoreDriving some streets and roads can also be quite confusing. At some intersections, turning left is illegal. The driver is required to turn right, go a short distance, and then make a U-turn to head in the desired direction. Sometimes you have the go a little ways up, make a left turn at a light, and then you can turn around then go your desired direction. In Michigan we call that a "Michigan left turn". SO frustrating. Sometimes there might be a round-about — a crazy of traffic flow that sends all vehicles in a left-handed circle until the sought after exit is reached. "Who designed this?" is often what i think.
Read MoreInfluence comes from many different sources and in many different packages. I had the opportunity to grow up under Bro. Hyles and attend First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana. My mother taught at Hyles-Anderson College since I was two years old which has allowed me to learn and know of hundreds of individual college students growing up. I have also taught and have been in the ministry for over twenty years. I can easily say I have had thousands of people influence me.
Read MoreEvery visit with my friend included a beautiful talk about our Lord. She would share what she read in God’s Word that encouraged her. We would delight in talking about God, His character, and His Word.
Read MoreI don’t know about you, but anytime I see a fresh flower poking through the dirt, I feel a little bit of hope. I might be yelling at my kids from the front porch.. but inside, I’m feeling spiritual.
We love flowers, don’t we? We wear them on dresses, drink out of mugs with them on it, some of us even have flowery Bibles or Bible covers!
Read MoreThese verses might not mean anything to you right now. You might not even understand the depth of these verses until you face sufferings in your walk with the Lord. It’s kind of strange to say to know Joy you must suffer. These words are the opposite of one another in my opinion. However, God knows more than we do. He takes life’s toughest storms to teach us how to trust him.
Read MoreGod wants you to do a work for Him! Have you heard something similar before? I understand the point one is attempting to make when he makes a similar statement. I, too, have asserted that God needs surrendered servants to with for Him. Although, there is no misunderstanding in the statement, and I agree with the statement, in truth, God does not need us to work for Him. He wants us to work with Him.
Read MorePraise is based on the character of God that does not change, Therefore, our praise to God should not change. Malachi 3:6 states, “For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.” Because God is who He is in His person and character, we are to praise Him. If we are happy, sad, sick, healthy, rich, poor, on the mountain top or in the valley we are commanded to praise God! Praise is not necessarily based on what God has done, but on who God is. Psalms 150
Read MoreA court reporter is a stenographer that makes a verbatim record of various legal proceedings, from hearings to sentencings and everything in between. The transcript they produce is the official record, the definitive proof of what was said. The reporters are called “guardians of the record,” and the transcripts they produce are certified to be true. There are laws that govern how long these records must be kept, and they are often produced to be used in future related trials or on appeals and so forth.
Read MoreGod communicates to us through His Word..the Bible. Imagine not having the precious Words of God. We talk to God using WORDS…Prayer.
