I must say my faith and patient has been tested lately with a patient, who, as my pastors says is "freaky, flaky and weird." This patient certainly has a religious fixation. I admit, I have been judgmental. God forgive me, but the freaky, flaky and weird disclaimer of Pastor Cass clearly has applied. My husband... Continue Reading →
It’s Not Just Giving
I have heard Philippians 4:19 quoted so many times "And my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches and glory by Jesus Christ" as a verse to say God will give you everything you need. While that may be true, in the context it was written their need was going to be... Continue Reading →
Temptation
I can't say how many times I have read the story of Jesus being led into the wilderness and His temptation. Last night I read it, and I saw something I completely have missed before and it definitely shed light on the things I face. Coupled with my daughter's insight into my problem with patience,...

Patience
I have always said patience is a virtue, one I don't have. Then I heard a message that Patience is a fruit of the Spirit and that the seed is planted in me already. Although I know it is in me, I never pray for it to grow because that means it will have to... Continue Reading →
How to Reach Them
I was reading in Mark 9:14-15 And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them. Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him. As I read this familiar passage, where Jesus heals the boy who the... Continue Reading →
Obedience and Giving
I was reading in the Word last night the story of the triumphant entry of Christ in Jerusalem. I have read the story a number of times before – Jesus sends his disciples to get a colt, they go get it. Jesus comes in, the people lay down the branches and sing “Hosanna and Blessed...

Bare Fruit or Face Destruction
Last night I was reading in Matthew 21 about the fig tree. Leading up to these scriptures, Jesus and his disciples had just entered Jerusalem - the triumphant entry where the people were laying down the branches and cloaks. Praising Hosanna! Then he goes to the temple, clears out the people who made His house... Continue Reading →
Unity
I heard something interesting on the radio the other day; I think the program is called Creation Moments. It was about plants and how they know the other seeds that came from the parental plant. Research showed that those seeds that came from the same vine didn't feel like they had to compete for resources,... Continue Reading →
Fruit or Roots
There is a lot said in the Bible about fruit, over 197 references, and 21 references to roots in the bible according to a search on Bible Gateway A few I found interesting were Psalms: 1:1-3 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way... Continue Reading →
The Same Power
We have started singing a song at church, I think it is by Hillsong, but can't swear to it - but there is a line of it that spoke to me about something that I believe God has been trying to show His church. The line says "The same power that conquered the grave lives... Continue Reading →
