Fear, anxiety, and worry must be universally troublesome to most people because God/Jesus Christ warned his people, and/or he encouraged his people all throughout Scripture (and history) to not fear, to not be afraid, to not fret, and to not be anxious, but “in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,” (to) “present your requests … Continue reading Rejoice in the Lord Always
The Gospel of Jesus Christ
Essential Elements of the Gospel
Realizing
I believe that there are many times we are guilty of taking God/Jesus Christ for granted. As well, I believe today’s church is often at fault in how they present God/Jesus when they paint God as a big doting grandfather in the sky, and/or when they paint Jesus as a weak and powerless person who … Continue reading Realizing
Pray, Pray, Pray
September 6, 2012 Prior to the Lord giving me this song on prayer, he gave me three songs in a row on the subject of love, mainly on loving other people. Whenever I study the Scriptures on the subject of loving others, I am reminded of how much I still need to learn and to … Continue reading Pray, Pray, Pray
Praise the “I AM”

God made him who knew no sin to be sin for … Continue reading Praise Be Told

Then, I pulled out the Bible study we were doing in our ladies’ Tuesday morning Bible study, and I read Hebrews 12:2-3: “Let us … Continue reading Our Eyes on Jesus
For Our Nation
War, politics, lies, betrayal, the murdering of innocents, our young men and women in uniform dying on a battlefield via men of power; takeovers of nations, riots and lawlessness, sin abounding, the church asleep or complacent for the most part; the gospel diluted, and do we even notice? Through all that is going on in … Continue reading For Our Nation
Our Awesome God
On May 25, 2011, I was sitting on the sofa in the evening, spending some quiet time alone with God before I went to bed, and I was asking him to speak to my heart whatever he might want to say to me. The words to one of the Psalms began going through my mind … Continue reading Our Awesome God
