God Was Crying Too

GOD WAS CRYING TOO

One night not too long ago before I went to bed, I got down on my knees to pray; as I bowed my head I said

Lord I just don't understand some things that have been…

Fallen Heroes

FALLEN HEROES

From the time I was conceived God had for me a plan. He wanted me to get involved to help my fellow man

I know some were against it but God knows what is best. Since the day He took me home I've had perfect rest

Heaven is so beautiful I'm walking streets of gold and now I'm serving others including saints of old

I know some still have anger about the way I died yet…

God Loves Me Though I'm Old

GOD LOVES ME THOUGH I'M OLD

When I was young and vibrant I had so many friends

Some of them told me they'd be with me to the end

Now I'm old and feeble and my hair is filled with gray

How I could use those friends right now as in my younger…

Have you been SAVED? Romans 10.1-10

Good Day!

Growing up in the Baptist church, I heard folks say things like, “I was saved when I was 12 years old,” or “Where did you get saved?” or “I am praying that he will be saved.” In every case, they were talking about when (or if) someone came to faith in Jesus Christ. But somewhere along the line, the word “saved” has gotten a bad rap. Is it because people associate it with loud, finger-pointing televangelists? Perhaps. Is it because people think of ‘getting saved’ with…

Words of the Day

Jeremiah 29:1-23 (Good News Translation)

God’s Word Goes Forth: Rejoice in Hope

Introduction

Jeremiah 29:1-23: Jeremiah brings a message from the Lord. He reminds the Jewish exiles that they are living in Babylon because the Lord brought them there. He says that rather than pining to leave, they should settle there, build houses, and create a life for themselves.

Today’s Scripture:…

"From The Heart" - Poems by Joye Atkinson

ARE YOU ASHAMED OF ME

One night not too long ago when I was fast asleep, I had a dream so vidid it woke me from my sleep

I dreamed the Lord came to my house as any friend would do; I saw He was troubled needing someone to talk to

I said "Come in Lord please sit down. What brings you out this way? He looked at me through tear stained eyes

Then I heard him say: My spirit is so heavy, I'm burdened deep…

Tis a Difficult Thing … who can abide it? Romans 9.6-33

Romans 9 started with Paul saying he would do whatever it took—if only his Jewish brethren would come to saving faith in Jesus. From there, there is just no natural break in his explanation to the Roman church about God’s sovereign will. In truth, we should read Romans 9 through 11 in one block, but we will just look at the remainder of this chapter. It is long, but necessary to grasp Paul's meaning. I have underlined some key phrases for our consideration:

So, even though God had… Continue

Does Anyone Have a Good Marriage?!?!

There is too much unresolved spiritual warfare around Christian marriages. The marriage statistics would make you believe that all marriages are the same...troubled and headed for divorce. Our media sources are filled with sensational stories of infidelity and divorce. We KNOW that God has a better way.

My wife, Shebra, and I have been married for 33 years. We have learned the power of covenant living. For better, for worst...we…
