Daily encouragement for Christians
It was another one of those days; the kind where I sit in my office chair for hours seeking the message Father wants me to send for the day. The messages are hidden within my heart but as my mind searches the files inside nothing seems to click until I “hear” Father’s voice asking a […]
How do we know who to listen to or who to believe? It seems that every day brings new information that contradicts what we were told just a few days before. The CDC, the World Health Organization, the President, governors, mayors, and medical professionals from everywhere seem to be grasping at straws to find the […]
Are you so dedicated to being a lifesaver for others that you ignore your own needs? Do you hear someone cry out in despair and immediately start thinking of how you can help? If you see a child crying do you automatically run to that child or do you look first for a parent? Sometimes […]
Do you have a platform; somewhere you can voice your views or initiate action? If you are on any social media sites you have a place where you can share what’s on your mind or in your heart. How do you use your soapbox? It may be a place for idle chit chat, someplace to […]
Have you ever thought about life as a missionary; someone working in the field harvesting souls for Christ? Usually, that thought takes us to a foreign country working in the poorest neighborhoods. Most missionaries, as we think of them normally, have to spend considerable time learning the language and culture of the local people and […]
As a writer, words are very important to me. When my grandkids tell me they don’t like to read it rattles everything inside of me. I try to encourage them by asking how they will ever read what Gramma writes if they don’t learn to read. No, those are not the magic words to change […]
I just finished one more trip through the Bible and it’s time to begin again. Have you ever had a movie that you enjoyed so much you watched it again immediately after finishing it? I think I knew every line to The Outlaw Josey Wales, starring Clint Eastwood from 1976. I would have been satisfied […]
“Yes! I tell you that people will be forgiven all sins and whatever blasphemies they utter.” (Mark 3:28) I could stop there and make this a feel-good message of salvation for all. That would be a demonstration of taking the Bible out of context. It happens continuously as the moral decay of our world calls […]
If you read Proverbs 8 you will find God’s most ancient creation is calling. Do you hear her raising her voice? Her name is Wisdom. “ADONAI [the Lord] made me as the beginning of his way, the first of his ancient works. I was appointed before the world, before the start, before the earth’s beginnings.” […]
What do you know about angels? I grew up picturing angels as beautiful young women, dressed in white, with big, fluffy, white wings, and maybe a halo. The more I study the Word, the more curious I become. It occurred to me that I could not remember a female angel ever being mentioned in the […]
