Love that Gave

Created 12/15/2008 I know many people who define love as what you can do for me or by Hollywood’s portrayal of sexual love.  This saddens me much.  The scriptures tell us that God is love (I John 4:8), and what is more exciting is that scripture also gives a...

Love

Created 1/16/2009 Our walk is very simple; if done God’s way. Turn with me to Galatians 5:14-15. “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not...

Praising God

Created 1/19/2009 Have you ever had a imaginary conversation in your head with someone you just wanted to share some important information with? But instead of it being a God honoring conversation, it quickly became something else?  I do not know about you but I...

Bringing Scripture to Life

Created 2/2/2009 Sometimes I like to substitute my name in Bible verses for the names that are there to question or to understand a point a little better.  As little kids some of us where told John 3:16 by substituting our names for the word “world”. This...

Rejection

Created 2/6/2009 Continuing with the story of the demoniac in Mark 5 we see that Jesus spoke. When Jesus spoke the devils and unclean spirits left the man (v13) and the he was able to sit clothed and in his right mind (v15).  Nothing shy of a miracle folks!  While the...

Fear and Belief

Created 3/25/2009 When Christ was talking to the ruler of the synagogue; the man that He was about to raise his 12 year old daughter up, He said “Be not afraid, only believe.”  I love how these few words show a sharp contrast between faith (believing) and...

Fear Does Mighty Things

Created 4/20/2009 Have you ever seen fear in action?  Fear might appear as someone running for their life or saying things with their mouth that they otherwise would not.  Fear takes on different ways of expressing itself.  Fear also sometimes causes fights.  I found...

Questions

Created 4/21/2009 Have you ever seen a child want to ask a question, but didn’t because of fear? Have you ever wanted the answer to something but did not ask someone because you were fearful? That is where the disciples found themselves as Jesus finished telling...

The Anger of the Lord

Created 8/26/2009 I do not think that any of us want to anger our Lord.  Yet as we see from Moses it is very possible to do. In Exodus 4, God spends time with Moses to give him reassurances (v1-9). In verses 10 and 13 Moses asks in a sense that God use someone else....

Are You Ready?

Created 4/8/2009 Jesus in Luke 12:40 gives us instructions after telling us about the servants that are watching for their lord and how they are blessed if they are found watching for the master and doing the work of the master. Jesus’ instruction is “Be...
