You know it’s going to be okay, right? Of course, I want the election to go the way of religious freedom, protecting the lives of the unborn, the sanctity of marriage, ….but it may not. And our world may get harder.Our country may look very different. But as I think about all this, I rememberContinue reading “You know it’s going to be okay, right?”

his words took me back…
His words took me back to a place I haven’t been in years.“But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.” (2Thess 3:3) Many years ago, I sat surrounded by family and church friends at my parents home. They had come there to try to comfort me… toContinue reading “his words took me back…”
What we need right now
Love. Consolation. Hope. Grace. Comfort. Yes, I’ll have a heaping helping of each. Right now. Especially now. And this is just what our Father gives His children. His well never runs dry. Paul penned words of this blessing to the believers being persecuted in Thessalonica. “Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our GodContinue reading “What we need right now”
Look up!
Paul, knew that young, persecuted church at Thessalonica longed for the Messiah’s return; but he also knew them well enough to know they were concerned about those believers who had already died. He picks up his pen and continues to write, “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who areContinue reading “Look up!”
Remember your HOPE
There seems to be a heaviness, all around us, so thick you can almost touch it. I continue to learn of friend after friend who are facing battles, dealing with loss, financial strain, wayward children, marriage difficulties…you name it. And then, there is CoVid, mask debates, violent riots, political division, church closures, school closures, wildfires,Continue reading “Remember your HOPE”
God uses Imperfect People
Can you imagine being told by the Son of God that you are going to deny Him, not once, but three times and then have that recorded in the most read book of all time?! And not recorded, just once, but in all four gospels. Peter. Oh. Peter. (Luke 22:31-34) The more I study God’sContinue reading “God uses Imperfect People”
Help for our worries
I wrote this a few years ago. How I could add to this list of worries now!! We ALL could! But the truth of what helps-is still the truth… I stood looking in the mirror trying to pull out yet another, wild, gray hair when I realized I couldn’t see the thing without my readingContinue reading “Help for our worries”
Maybe you need this tonight?
Since we were children, the enemy has been whispering to us about what’s wrong with us, where we are lacking; and he continually tells us we are woefully unworthy. He surrounds us all with distorted, neon images of worldly perfection. Everywhere we look, from magazines covers to social media posts, the evil one tries toContinue reading “Maybe you need this tonight?”
We are a people desperate to be reminded of the hope we have
We are a people desperate to be reminded of the hope we have. Our flesh forgets. Our souls become downcast. Our eyes forget to look beyond the here and now. We struggle to remember God can make a way when our limited imaginations can’t fathom any possible way. And we, who possess eternal hope, spiralContinue reading “We are a people desperate to be reminded of the hope we have”
Have you noticed the lost world increasingly disparaging Christians?
Have you noticed the lost world increasingly trying to disparage Christianity and discredit Christians and even Jesus? Have you noticed some, you thought strong in the faith, compromising on Biblical principles? Have you spoken with a few, even calm, level-headed Christians, who think the End of Days could be approaching? And they are EXCITED! ButContinue reading “Have you noticed the lost world increasingly disparaging Christians?”
For those wrestling to understand
I wrote this before and I need to remember again…. Jacob wrestled with God. That’s too much for my mind to even conceive. Except, I’m wrestling. Not in the physical sense; but certainly, in that, I’m trying to understand what God is doing through some exhaustingly hard things in my life. I know it’s trueContinue reading “For those wrestling to understand”
Be careful! Don’t hold your donkey too tightly!
One week before His crucifixion, Jesus prepares to enter Jerusalem. He sends His disciples ahead to get the donkey he will ride. (Luke 19:28-34) They walk into town, untie the donkey, that did not belong to them, and when the owners question, they merely say the words Jesus had told them to say,”Because the LordContinue reading “Be careful! Don’t hold your donkey too tightly!”
I’ve seen it over and over
I’ve seen it over and over. Have you? There is blessing for those who trust in God. They stand on the solid Rock, Who is Christ Jesus. God’s promises are their anchor. Jesus calms their storms. Though the world around them may be shaken, they are curiously steady. Steady. Though others fall away to theContinue reading “I’ve seen it over and over”
