“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,  not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:24-25W                                                                  Amazing Love Recently I saw on the news how a  man having an epileptic seizure was thrown involuntarily…

“Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.’ John 17:3 When I was meditating on this scripture, the following song immediately came to my mind. I remember hearing it in the 50’s. So I decided to take a look at the lyrics. In reflection, I realized the Lord was revealing how He felt; it isn’t He that is blind to our love, but rather we…

Instead, I do what I hate.” Romans 7:15 It was our anniversary, and I had determined it would be a good day, avoiding silly disagreements and not insisting on my way.  But already, the old attitude was finding its lofty place.  I wanted romance,…

“But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Matthew 6:6 Every morning, I set my alarm at 5:00 a.m. so I can spend the first hour of the day with my Lord. Sometimes it’s longer and sometimes it’s shorter, but this is my secret place where I seek His Face. But if I neglect to prepare and…

Sarah Young, author of the devotional book titled Jesus Calling, was inspired by two anonymous women authors of the book titled – God Calling.  The two anonymous authors of this book confess in their introduction, the following method of receiving messages from God: “We felt all unworthy and overwhelmed by the wonder of it, and could hardly realize that we were being taught, trained, and…

“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:24-25 One of my favorite chapters in the Bible is Luke 24. It tells the story of Jesus appearing to two of His disciples on the day of His resurrection. The two were…

Lily -Shushannah (Hebrew) symbolically represents purity, beauty, and renewal. The beautiful white trumpet-shaped Lily in scripture is related to how Jesus views His Church. In Song of Songs, the bride of the King knows who she is to her beloved. She sees herself as the Lilly of the Valley, and the King sees her beauty in contrast to others as the thorns. Song of Solomon 2:1-2 She “I am a rose of…

Happy Resurrection Day! Shane and Shane – “Fullness of Joy” “But what does it say? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the…

“But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.” John 16:7 When Jesus gathered His disciples together before His crucifixion, He told them He was going away but would send them a Helper, the Holy Spirit, Who would not leave them but would always be there. In CS Lewis’s  “7 Words…

“They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.” Romans 1:25 One of the destructive lies undermining the fabric of God’s infallible Truth is the lie concerning the origin of the universe and life. Within the theory of evolution, there is an attempt to explain its beginning. But because there is no…

  “So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11 As I sat waiting for my Christian friend to arrive, I did not expect much to happen, for I had been in this psychiatric center for five months, with little hope that God really wanted to help me.  After…

“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” Matthew 14:28 As I read about Peter reaching out to Jesus in the midst of a storm, it reminded me of how there are times when I want to join Jesus where He is but afraid. Sometimes as I am going forward I almost make it, but then overthink. What if this or that? What will I say and do? Is Jesus really in this, and is He…
