Many of us are concerned as we look at our world. I see people posting about praying who typically do not do such things. Hard times certainly cause us to look for help anywhere we can get it and to think about the fragility of life and eternity. And, many reason, “Heaven sounds like aContinue reading “Remember WHO you’re talking to…”

He’s just a normal guy. Well, kind of….
He’s just a normal guy.Kind of. He doesn’t have a seminary degree. He isn’t getting a paycheck from the church. He works really hard at his “real” job. He just loves God.He loves his family.He loves people, and he wants them to find the hope he found in Jesus. He serves in the small church.Continue reading “He’s just a normal guy. Well, kind of….”
Do you feel a sense of urgency in this scary world?
Do you feel a sense of urgency? For years I’ve hoped the words I’ve shared would draw others to love and trust Jesus more. I’ve put them out there, and I’ve prayed that those who don’t know Him, would somehow see Him in what He has led me to write and speak. But lately, I’veContinue reading “Do you feel a sense of urgency in this scary world?”
Where is this world headed?
Where is this world headed? A Fox News alert scrolls across the screen — Putin is attacking the Ukraine, China is making noise about Taiwan, our president is fumbling. I find myself dismayed, almost distraught, really. Questions race through my mind, “Where is our country going? What will this world look like when my kidsContinue reading “Where is this world headed?”
Have you doubted God and made the wrong choice?
It’s been ten long years since God promised. Still no baby. Her body is aging. She’s tired. She loves her husband. Didn’t God say Abram’s descendants would be as numerous as the stars? (Gen 15:5). But she also knew the sovereign God has restrained her from bearing children. (Gen 16:2) What is she supposed toContinue reading “Have you doubted God and made the wrong choice?”
Hope for the Heartache
I had just finished posting my devotional yesterday, and was studying another passage, when an early morning message took my breath away. A mom, who loves Jesus, serves the Lord with her husband in ministry, and who had sat with me at ballgames as we watched our daughters cheer, messaged to let me know herContinue reading “Hope for the Heartache”
How can I know God will do what He says?
God makes a promise to Abram for his descendants to be as numerous as the stars and to give him the land as an inheritance.( Gen 15:5-6) And Abram (boldly again) says, “How will I know I will inherit it?” (Gen 15:7) God then asks Abram to bring him animals and cut them in two.Continue reading “How can I know God will do what He says?”
Believing God
Abram sets out with Sarai and his nephew Lot. In Genesis 12, God tells Abram many things that HE will do. In fear and unbelief, Abram will lie to Pharaoh that his beautiful wife is his sister. (Gen 12:10-20)(Later, we will see this “fix-it-yourself mentality” play out with Sarahs’ maidservants when the promised heir doesn’tContinue reading “Believing God”
When the trouble just keeps coming
What do you do when the trouble JUST keeps coming? The trouble, the pain, just keeps coming and coming–piling up, suffocating, and consuming every thought. You search for hope in the darkness. You barely remember the time, a long time ago, when you thought if you just followed Jesus life would go, well, easy. ButContinue reading “When the trouble just keeps coming”
Not today Satan!
You know the evil one does not want you to believe the promises of God, right? Genesis contains promises of God that are foundational to our faith. Oh, how I love to hear the crinkling of the pages as I open the living, breathing, promise-filled Word of God! As I turn to Genesis 12, GodContinue reading “Not today Satan!”
But what about when God asks you to do hard things?
But what about when God asks you to do hard things? Now the LORD had said to Abram:“Get out of your country,From your familyAnd from your father’s house,To a land that I will show you.I will make you a great nation;I will bless youAnd make your name great;And you shall be a blessing.I will blessContinue reading “But what about when God asks you to do hard things?”
But what if you are STRUGGLING to believe God?
Noah lived 350 years after the flood and dies. His descendants are listed in Genesis 10. The earth population grows. At this point, all people spoke the same language and they decided to stay together and build a city and a tall tower in the plain of Shinar (Babylon). (Gen 11) But remember, God hadContinue reading “But what if you are STRUGGLING to believe God?”
Your past sins don’t have to define you
Don’t you like coming to the end of a good story, all the loose ends tied up, the good guy wins, there might be a kiss, the music plays, ahhhh… And that’s what we expect with Noah. Except, remember, this isn’t a story but a real-life account— Noah obeys God and builds the Ark toContinue reading “Your past sins don’t have to define you”
DEMONIC ACTIVITY
Angels were often referred to as “sons of God” in Scripture,see Job 38:4-7). Did fallen angels, demons, have sex with women on earth? “Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men,Continue reading “DEMONIC ACTIVITY”
Saturday morning PRAYERS and PEACE
I’ve had awful headaches for days. I’ve been told by friends this is common for a long time after CoVid. (I had it about 4 weeks ago) But as I lay in bed the other night, I thought, “What if I’m dying?” And then Scripture came to my mind, “It’s appointed once a man toContinue reading “Saturday morning PRAYERS and PEACE”
Are you getting weary of this HARD world?
Is this evil world getting to you? Some days it can really be discouraging. Genesis 6:6, tells us, long ago, God saw the evil of man. He was sorry. He was grieved. But when God was lamenting that He had created mankind (Gen 6:5-8), Noah “found grace in the eyes of the Lord” in theContinue reading “Are you getting weary of this HARD world?”
The Bible is true. Some reasons we know this…
When you first held the Bible in your hands, did your heart somehow know this book is incredibly different than any other? The Bible is a true account and not a fictitious story and is supernaturally inspired by the Creator of the Universe who used over 40 authors to write the Word over a 1500Continue reading “The Bible is true. Some reasons we know this…”
Enoch and Elijah won’t be the only two!
This is such a crazy, encouraging portion of Scripture…. So, Cain kills Abel then he marries and has children. Adam and Eve have other children. The earth population grows. And the Bible details both the good and the bad—Lamech takes two wives and boasts of murder. (See Gen 4) But then there is Enoch. GenesisContinue reading “Enoch and Elijah won’t be the only two!”
WARNING!
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before. Over the years, well, as long as I remember I have struggled with anger. Oh it’s much better now (thank you Jesus), but when I was little, my grandpa (I called him “Papaw” because that’s what we do in the South), told me “Most folks need to countContinue reading “WARNING!”
The Questioning of Truth. Same Old ATTACK.
So the cunning, evil, serpent (the fallen Satan) questions Eve about what God had really said to her. (Gen 3:1) He then tells her what God has said is not really true. (Gen 3:4) The one who has come to steal, kill and destroy is saying the same thing, right now, to you, me andContinue reading “The Questioning of Truth. Same Old ATTACK.”
