that there are definitely areas that God has been speaking to me about, and calling on me to change. Anyone who knows me well, knows I am pretty strong-willed. Sometimes God really has to get my attention REPEATEDLY!!! There are a couple of things that keep coming up that I know God is revealing to me
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. II Corinthians 5:21 I have known that Jesus paid the price for my sin since I was eight years old and became a Christian. More recently I have been hearing that Jesus... Continue Reading →
God has such a sense of humor when we try to ignore the lessons He is trying to teach us. Being self-centered and selfish has always been an issue for me. I thought it was getting better, or that I was through Christ overcoming this sin of the flesh. Once again - WAKE UP CALL... Continue Reading →
I John 2:2 states "He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins, but for the sins of the whole world." As I read that tonight, it really sunk in to me that Jesus has already paid the price ,as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. He paid not just... Continue Reading →

Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit when he went into the desert. The Holy Spirit led him there to be tempted forty days and forty nights. (Luke 4:1-2). So many times, I think of this time in Jesus' life and I think He fasted for forty days and then the devil came to him... Continue Reading →
Luke 3:8 states Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones. Our lives here on...

Philippians 4:11 ends saying "I have learned in whatever state I am to be content." He then goes on to list areas of drastic contrast of each other that he has been. Then in verse 13 he states "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." It probably was hard for Paul at... Continue Reading →
So many times I have heard preachers discuss what other denominations believe, not like the cult church denominations, but mainstream denominations. I never realized that the Bible also talks about this. I always thought that the early years of Christianity as being one church "the church." I guess even back then there differences in beliefs....
