[What makes your heart sing? #2 ~ on purpose and so much more!]

Hello.

Yesterday I watched my youngest son, Danny (17), eke out a 1 – 0 San Clemente High School soccer win over local rivals, Mission Viejo. I…

'Follow Me’ then, ‘Follow Me’ today

'Follow Me’ then, ‘Follow Me’ today.

Matthew 9

Howdy.

Did you hear ‘Follow me’ from Jesus? And then … what did you do with his personal invitation? Did you open your mind and emotions to the possibilities of the adventurous…

A poem by our dear brother, Ron Payne, who has gone home to be with the Lord

DO NOT WEEP FOR ME!

Stand not at my graveside and weep for me, for I am not there.

I am with the Spirit of God as He moves into your hearts,

To remind you that our separation will be but a fleeting moment.

Stand not at my graveside and weep for me, for I am not there.

Think of me, when you remember my name for then,

I will be thinking of you,

As I…

THE PERSECUTED

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. …

PRAYING''FASTING,,MATT,6-5-185 "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. 7 And when you pray, do not…

Devo- Repentance

Reading through Psalms, and these verses have really stood out to me. "Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults. Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me." Psalm 19:12-13

This is a reminder to us that there is so much that we do not know, even about ourselves. It is hard to always discern our motives and actions, and how they relate to God's plan for His people. I am reminded to not only repent of the things that consciously know…

Spurgeon Devotion - July 19, 2015

July 19

Morning

“The Lord our God hath shewed us his glory.”

- Deu_5:24

God’s great design in all his works is the manifestation of his own glory. Any aim less than this were unworthy of himself. But how shall the glory of God be manifested to such fallen creatures as we are? Man’s eye is not single, he has ever a side glance towards his own honour, has too high an estimate of his own powers, and so is not qualified to behold the glory of the Lord. It is…

Spurgeon Devotion - Morning July 17

July 17

Morning

“Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.”

- 1Th_1:4

Many persons want to know their election before they look to Christ, but they cannot learn it thus, it is only to be discovered by “looking unto Jesus.” If you desire to ascertain your own election;-after the following manner, shall you assure your heart before God. Do you feel yourself to be a lost, guilty sinner? go straightway to the cross of Christ, and tell Jesus so, and…

Gods miracles at work

Jul

Romans 8:26

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Once, when my father was hospitalized, I remember driving as fast as I could to the hospital to see him because his condition was deteriorating rapidly. I was just sobbing in my car on the way there. I didn’t know what to pray.…

His Calling, Your Calling?

His Calling, Your Calling? Matthew 9.9-13

I remember how my mother used to relate stories from her youth, waxing nostalgic as she did so—often with a far-away look in her eyes, as she talked about St. Jo, Mizzur-uh (Missouri), about growing up with ten children, and a mama who always had a song on her tongue, usually an old hymn.

Somehow I picture Matthew recalling his first contact with Jesus, in a similar fashion ~ and perhaps…

GOD'S CHILDREN NEED NOT FEAR OR WORRY

Often, people experience anxiety when they think about the future; however, it does not have to be that way. For those who know God, thoughts of the future bring eagerness and comfort. For example, describing a woman who knows and trusts God, Proverbs 31:25 says, “She smiles at the future.” Two key thoughts to keep in…

Distractions … from Spiritual Growth

Today I was with my corporate guys, who were willing to ‘stop the presses,’ in spite of all the work going on around them—emails, phonecalls and voicemails, pressing matters which vied for their attention--to carve out time to come together, look at God’s Word, and have their embers stoked into flames.…
