“In the same way your light must shine before people, so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 Our actions should point people to God. Just as the Word is a light unto our feet, our lives are a light as the only gospel... Continue Reading →
Love others
“And now I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” John 13:34 Love one another. I think at times we get confused and think the line following says "As they have loved you" instead of "As I (God)have loved you.” It is... Continue Reading →
The Unthinkable
“And God showed his love for us by sending his only Son into the world, so that we might have life through him.” 1 John 4:9 I will give you a warning, the thought that came to my mind when I read this didn’t probably come from God. I just know He can use anything... Continue Reading →
Planning and worry

I have never been a person who worries... Continue Reading →

Conforming and Consistency
“Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 I admit I struggle with 2 Corinthians 5:17. I was joined to Christ when I was eight years old. I became a new being. The old was gone. It is a beautiful picture... Continue Reading →
Questioning God
“And he said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.” But he said, “O Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it?”” Genesis 15:7-8 I am one of those people who talk to the television,... Continue Reading →
Blessings without Regret
“When the Lord blesses you with riches, you have nothing to regret.” Proverbs 10:22 I just finished reading Stones of Remembrance A Rock- Hard Faith from Rock-Hard placesby Lois Evans and Jane Rubietta. One of the last chapters highlighted the story of Achsah,the daughter of Caleb, found in Joshua 15. They talked about how... Continue Reading →
The Importance of Truth
“These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace; do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath, for all these things I hate, declares the Lord.”” Zechariah 8:16-17 I have...
