Daily encouragement for Christians
How well do you know history? Does the name Telemachus mean anything to you? In the early part of the fifth century, he took a trip to Rome. It was there that he witnessed a bloody battle to the death in the colosseum. Telemachus was a Christian monk who knew that premeditated murder was […]
Our Father, Almighty God, is very creative and never needs to do the same thing twice but He sometimes chooses to repeat a miracle. You have probably heard how He parted the Red Sea so that Moses could lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Are you also aware that He parted the Jordan River not […]
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 […]

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 […]
