AND BY HIM WE CRY, ‘ABBA,FATHER.’ THE SPIRIT HIMSELF TESTIFIES WITH OUR SPIRIT THAT WE ARE GOD’S CHILDREN.’ Have you ever felt so exhilarated that you’re happy to be alive? If you have, you have gotten a glimpse, an indication, there is a God and Read More

PROVERBS 16:20 “WHOEVER GIVES HEED TO INSTRUCTION PROSPERS AND BLESSED IS HE WHO TRUSTS THE LORD.” The term “BLESSED” is used indiscriminately in our world. But from a spiritual sense feeling blessed is quite specific. Someone who is BLESSED is “FAVORED” and more clearly FAVORED BY GOD. The result is he or she feels “FULLY Read More

EPHESIANS 2:4-5 “BUT BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT LOVE FOR US, GOD WHO IS RICH IN MERCY, MADE US ALIVE WITH CHRIST.” There is one source, one idea that is the energizing force of the universe. That is LOVE! God’s love is the central theme of all creation. It’s the reason everything exists; all because God Read More

PSALM 6:4 “O LORD DELIVER MY LIFE, SAVE ME FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR STEADFAST LOVE.” The Psalmist rightly realized every-ones’ life is in peril, never guaranteed. Mere existence (one definition of life) can be snuffed out by sickness or accident. But I think the writer is thinking more than about mere breathing. Any life Read More

Do you have a Read More

Here is a secret of life known mainly by Christians. Wile we all go through suffering, this writer, Jeremiah observed something astounding. Those who hope in the Lord are Read More

1 SAMUEL 2:4 “THE BOWS OF THE WARRIORS ARE BROKEN, BUT THOSE WHO STUMBLE ARE ARMED WITH STRENGTH.” This is a poetic way of saying there will come a time when those thinking they are invincible will find themselves powerless; while those who STUMBLE and experience adversity now, but ASK for the Lord’s protection, will Read More

REVELATION 21:1,3 “THEN I SAW A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH….AND I HEARD A LOUD VOICE FROM THE THRONE SAYING, ‘NOW THE DWELLING OF GOD IS WITH MEN AND HE WILL LIVE WITH THEM…HE WILL WIPE OUT EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES, THERE WILL BE NO MORE DEATH OR CRYING OR PAIN.” I quote Read More

PSALM 34:8 “TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD.” These words of INVITATION are a precursor to Jesus’ invitation (Matthew 11:29) to “Take my yoke upon you…find rest for your souls.” Throughout scripture there is an OPEN-ENDED request to just try to live ‘God’s plan for a person’s life. In most all cases, anyone Read More
