8/31/20 - HIS WORD

We often say “words matter,” and they do. Words can make you or break you, lift you up or put you down. But there’s one place you can go where all His Word, even His rebuke, will still build you up. I read somewhere where the writer said, even as the Lord rebuked or corrected His disciples, they were never offended, but they embraced every word He said. Why? Because the Words came from a heart of love and compassion. They were never meant to offend but to build up. The rebuke

8/28/20 - GLORIFYING GOD

How would you define glorifying God? How would you personally respond if I asked you to share ways in which you regularly bring glory to Him? How do you worship Him in your daily life? Would you consider what you do for a living as worshipping or bringing glory to God? Would you consider babysitting your grandchildren, raising children, cleaning house, washing dishes, doing laundry as glorifying God? Would you consider taking care of your spouse as glorifying God? Going to a

8/27/20 - CHOSEN

“So put aside every trace of malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander and hateful speech; like newborn babies [you should] long for the pure milk of the Word, so that by it you may be nurtured and grow in respect to salvation [its ultimate fulfillment], if in fact you have [already] tasted the goodness and gracious kindness of the Lord. Come to Him [the risen Lord] as to a living Stone which men rejected and threw away, but which is choice and precious in

8/26/20 - WHEN FAITH TOUCHES HEAVEN, HEAVEN COMES TO EARTH.

“Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Do we really understand what that means for us who believe? Most of us have memorized the disciples' prayers. It’s not the Lord’s Prayer, because He was teaching them how to pray to His Father in order for us to get heaven’s response. We don’t need to turn to it, we know it by rote. But for the prayer to be effective, we need to understand the power behind every word. Do we have fait

8/25/20 - COME OUT FROM THE SHADOWS! All IS WELL.

“Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things unto her. Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. And when He had so said, He shewed unto them His hands and His side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. Then said Jesus to

8/24/20 - PRESS!

“In the crowd that day was a woman who had suffered greatly for twelve years from slow bleeding. Even though she had spent all that she had on healers, she was still suffering. Pressing in through the crowd, she came up behind Jesus and touched the tassel of his prayer shawl. Instantly her bleeding stopped and she was healed. Jesus suddenly stopped and said to his disciples, “Someone touched me. Who is it?” While they all denied it, Peter pointed out, “Master, everyone is tou

8/21/20 - LET THEM GO!

“So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him. Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold. From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been earlier and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the Lord. Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents. But the land

8/20/20 - IT’S ME, NOT YOU.

“Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah and said to him, “Look, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint us a king to judge us [and rule over us] like all the other nations.” But their demand displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge and rule over us.” So Samuel prayed to the LORD. The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have

8/19/20 - GUARD IT!

“Guard [with greatest care] and keep unchanged, the treasure [that precious truth] which has been entrusted to you [that is, the good news about salvation through personal faith in Christ Jesus], through [the help of] the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1:14‬ ‭AMP‬‬ “Do not store up for yourselves [material] treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth no

8/18/20 - KEEPING YOUR VOWS

How important is it to you to keep your word? Are you quick to make promises and when the dust settles you wish you hadn’t? Have you done that recently? Here’s an even bigger question. Have you done it to God? 😳 Let’s take a look at some key verses pertaining to vows and how seriously God takes us keeping our word. “If you make a vow to the Lord your God, do not be slow to pay it, for the Lord your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin. But if you

8/17/20 - HOW DO YOU MEASURE FINANCIAL SUCCESS?

“There is the one who [generously] scatters [abroad], and yet increases all the more; And there is the one who withholds what is justly due, but it results only in want and poverty. The generous man [is a source of blessing and] shall be prosperous and enriched, And he who waters will himself be watered [reaping the generosity he has sown]. The people curse him who holds back grain [when the public needs it], But a blessing [from God and man] is upon the head of him who sells

8/14/20 - WHEN YOUR NOTHING BECOMES SOMETHING....

“Then the word of the Lord came to him: “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.” So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?” As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.” “As surely as the Lord your God lives,” she replied

8/13/20 - HOW SURE ARE YOU?

“He went on teaching from town to village, village to town, but keeping on a steady course toward Jerusalem.” “A bystander said, “Master, will only a few be saved?” He said, “Whether few or many is none of your business. Put your mind on your life with God. The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires your total attention. A lot of you are going to assume that you’ll sit down to God’s salvation banquet just because you’ve been hanging around the neighborhood all your live

8/12/20 - IT’S NOT MAGIC, IT’S SUPERNATURAL!

“Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great, and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, “This man is rightly called the Great Power of God.” They followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his sorcery. But when they believed Philip as he proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were

8/11/20 - WHO ME?

“One day the angel of GOD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, whose son Gideon was threshing wheat in the winepress, out of sight of the Midianites. The angel of GOD appeared to him and said, “ GOD is with you, O mighty warrior!” Gideon replied, “With me, my master? If GOD is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all the miracle-wonders our parents and grandparents told us about, telling us, ‘Didn’t GOD deliver us from

8/10/20 - THE GOD WHO HOLDS YOUR FAITH, HOLDS YOUR MIRACLE.

We unknowingly and knowingly place our faith in a lot of things and people every day, without a thought of how it will eventually work out. Take for example the chairs we sit on. We just plop down trusting it’s gonna support our weight. We drive through tunnels, over bridges and highways with no thought of them ever collapsing, we get on airplanes and fly for hours expecting a pilot we never met to get us safely to our destination. We trust the words of doctors simply because

8/7/20 - FAITHFUL !

“For the LORD, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb says this, “I am the LORD, Maker of all things, Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself, Frustrating the signs and confounding the omens of boasters (false prophets), Making fools out of fortune-tellers, Counteracting the wise And making their knowledge ridiculous, Confirming the word of His servant And carrying out the plan of His messengers. It is I who says of Jerusalem, ‘She

8/6/20 - DON’T MISS OUT ON WHAT YOU ARE WAITING FOR.

“In the beginning [before all time] was the Word ( Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being. In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or o

8/5/20 - PRESENT but ABSENT

Have you ever been in deep conversation with someone and realize after a few minutes that they have checked out? Or you notice that they’re looking at you but their eyes are glazing over? Lol then you ask, what did I just say? What is always the rote response? I hear you! I’ve been listening! Then they say something totally off topic. Yup. They had checked out. Jesus had that problem with the scribes and Pharisees, He also had it with the folks who just came for the natural b

8/4/20 - SPLITTING HAIRS to AVOID the TRUTH.

Have you ever had the pleasure of speaking with a Jehovah’s Witness? I have on multiple occasions, but after a few minutes they always run off, even though I beg them to stay. Their main question is always, “why do you think we’re having so much trouble in the world?” My response remains the same “Sin” man’s inability to transform his life by doing good deeds. At this time is when they start checking out. They’re big on performance. But I must hand it to them. Even though the
