When we fall apart. He is still there.

As I continue to think about the Lord and His interactions with others, these weeks before Easter,I’m reminded of these two wonderful, but contrasting, examples. Jesus has just finished teaching the famous parables about the blind leading the blind, and building our houses on the rock (Luke 6), and then walks into Capernaum. He isContinue reading “When we fall apart. He is still there.”

Jesus was quick to love those caught up in sin. But….

It has happened again. God seems to be repeating Himself with me a lot lately. I’m not the sharpest nail in the box, but when He says things twice, I tend to pay attention! My daughter, Abi, was recounting a dream she had about John 8 and the woman caught in adultery. She talked aboutContinue reading “Jesus was quick to love those caught up in sin. But….”

Two criminals. Which one are you?

Those two criminals.Bleeding.Bruised.Guilty. In the Savior’s final moments, one criminal hung on each side of Him. Those two represent all of us.We are each likeoneor the otherof them. It’s no accident, this true picture. There they were.So close to Jesus.Can you imagine? They both knew who He was.But only one of them would be saved.Continue reading “Two criminals. Which one are you?”

When your HEART needs to slow down. And GLORY!

We sat at the dinner table last night and my daughter brought up the verse in the picture below. THEN, this ⬇️ popped up on my Facebook. I had written it a few years ago, but my heart needed it again. And I’m thankful the Lord is so sweet to repeat Himself like this withContinue reading “When your HEART needs to slow down. And GLORY!”

A Time of Personal Reflection and Confession as we approach Easter

Coming Before The Holy God For those who want more of Him… a personal time of reflection and confession Coming Before The Holy God (Scripture from NKJV and NIV)  We want to hear from God.   We know we need Him.   We know our own strength will only carry us so far.    But we sometimes needContinue reading “A Time of Personal Reflection and Confession as we approach Easter”

Can there be revival in this country again? Surely it must start with this understanding.

It’s called sin. SIN It’s the reason Jesus had to come. I heard a pastor recently use the word “mistake”, over and over, when he was referring to sin. I’m not sure “mistake” is a strong enough word or adequately describes the penalty we are due for our ugly sin. No, as we prepare ourContinue reading “Can there be revival in this country again? Surely it must start with this understanding.”

when government is god

A guest post from my friend Mitzie Waldron Wheeler This is powerful and true. Read it. Share it. Kirk Cameron shared John Lennon’s song “Imagine” on his FB live American Campfire Revival. Read the lyrics and think on it. Can you imagine a world like this? Imagine there’s no heavenIt’s easy if you tryNo hellContinue reading “when government is god”

When others let us down

These words are real, raw and tender. Paul is about to close his last letter. He will soon breathe his last as he will be executed for the faith. He writes to Timothy to be diligent to come to him quickly (2 Tim 4:9). Paul longed to see his young prodigy. One last meeting thisContinue reading “When others let us down”

Have you experienced this?

I know I’m slow-walking through the end of Second Timothy. It’s just so packed-full of truth that even parts of sentences stop me in my tracks. “Be diligent to come to me quickly; for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world,” (2 Tim 4:9) Those who love the world, it’s comforts and pleasuresContinue reading “Have you experienced this?”

These words should be our words

“I have fought the good fight.I have finished the race.I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing”. (2 Tim 4:7-8)Continue reading “These words should be our words”

One thing I’ve learned that defeats fear

I’m sick of seeing the enemy rob us of so many good things God has planned for us because of fear. The enemy really uses that. But here’s one thing I’ve learned that has disarmed the evil one time and time again in my life: When I hear the enemy telling me all the badContinue reading “One thing I’ve learned that defeats fear”

Preach the Word! Don’t change the message!

These words were written to those who would seek to follow the Lord, those suffering for the faith, those not yet born, and those who would live in the End of Days. These were the last words of a dying saint who knew his time was short. Don’t miss this! Paul uses STRONG words whenContinue reading “Preach the Word! Don’t change the message!”

The Apostle Paul’s secret to running his race so well

Don’t miss this- Paul is about to die and he is telling us just how he has been able to run his race so well. Paul was thoroughly equipped for every good work-including sitting in a prison and writing this powerful letter of truth we are studying all these thousands of years later. Paul wouldContinue reading “The Apostle Paul’s secret to running his race so well”

God, I don’t understand

It is not popular to say, but God will do things we don’t like or understand. In Luke 6, Jesus heals a man on the Sabbath and the religious leaders were filled with rage. Rage. Not awe and adoration that a miracle had been performed right before their eyes. Not celebration for the man whoseContinue reading “God, I don’t understand”

When you see demonic forces winning…

Paul is talking about the end of days when he suddenly brings up the two magicians with demonic powers who challenged Moses.(2 Tim 3:8-9) Jannes and Jambres were able to turn a rod into a serpent, change water to blood, and bring about a plague of frogs; but in the end, their dark powers wereContinue reading “When you see demonic forces winning…”

Let’s Put out the fires of wrong thinking.

Yesterday, we looked at Paul’s description of end time days being full of people who are lovers of themselves and how this self-enthroned living can lead to most of the other characteristics he lists in 2 Tim 3:1-5. I think it is important to be on guard to some of the ways the evil oneContinue reading “Let’s Put out the fires of wrong thinking.”

Do you wonder if we are living in the last days?

I can’t read these words and not wonder if we are living in the last days— “But know this, in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors,Continue reading “Do you wonder if we are living in the last days?”

What kind of VESSEL are you?

It’s a curious passage. “But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for everyContinue reading “What kind of VESSEL are you?”

Have you denied Jesus?

We’ve all been offered Jesus. We’ve been offered His saving blood, His forgiveness, eternity with Him. (John 3:16) He came. He died. He stands with open arms ready to save all who will call on His Name to forgive their sins and cleanse them from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9) He is the way, theContinue reading “Have you denied Jesus?”
