Embrace Thanksgiving
Embrace Thanksgiving This is the season for Thanksgiving, so we are more aware of being grateful, but it would be such a great thing for our souls if we would embrace “Giving Thanks” as a way of life, a part of our daily life from day to day. I am thinking if we do this, […]
The Great Debate
Even if a king had the best-equipped army, it would never be enough to save him. Even if the best warrior went to battle, he could not be saved simply by his strength alone. Human strength and the weapons of man are false hopes for victory; they may seem mighty, but they will always disappoint. […]
God Gripped
You always have God’s presence. For hasn’t he promised you, “I will never leave you, never! And I will not loosen my grip on your life!”So we can say with great confidence: “I know the Lord is for me and I will never be afraid of what people may do to me!”Hebrews 13 Grow At […]
A Generous Heart
Giving During Hard Economic Times These are really hard times to be a giver. Kind of stretches your faith, doesn’t it?? It was easy to give when the economy was great and there was abundance, but now, there isn’t much left between the rising inflation and the prices everywhere that has gone up… and I […]
Remembrance
As they ate, Jesus took the bread and blessed it and broke it and gave it to his disciples. He said to them, “This is my body. Eat it.” Then taking the cup of wine, he gave thanks to the Father, he entered into covenant with them, saying, “This is my blood. Each of you […]
Fickle Favor
Is God’s comfort too little for you? Is his gentle word not enough? What has taken away your reason? What has weakened your vision, that you turn against God and say all these evil things? Job 15:11-13 NLT They plotted against Jesus to kill Him because nothing worked that they tried to do to control […]
The Facets Of Love
You are a people set apart as holy to God, your God. God, your God, chose you out of all the people on Earth for himself as a cherished, personal treasure. 7-10 God wasn’t attracted to you and didn’t choose you because you were big and important—the fact is, there was almost nothing to you. […]
More And Most
“In the last days there will always be mockers, motivated by their own ungodly desires.” These people cause divisions and are followers of their own natural instincts, devoid of the life of the Spirit. But you, my delightfully loved friends, constantly and progressively build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith by […]
Free Indeed
So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals […]

Respect the Lord and refuse to do wrong. Then your body will be healthy. And your bones will be strong. Don’t ever stop […]
National Prayer
Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. James […]
Bonkers
Suddenly It is BONKERS Suddenly everything goes “bonkers” and chaos is prevalent and we make impulsive choices to try to put right side up, what has gone so wrong. Distraction of the enemy is a sudden feeling of “bonkers” and it causes an impulsive reaction, which always supersedes the right choice or the consistently choice […]
False Indictment
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness in this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12 Spirit Of Inditement Spiritual warfare is a real thing and we are not that foolish to think we don’t have an enemy, but we choose […]
Us,Without YOU
Lord, you are my God. I honor you and praise you. You have done amazing things. You have always done what you said you would. You have done what you planned long ago. You have made the city a pile of rocks. You have destroyed her walls. The city our enemies built with strong walls […]
