Of timing, unbelief, and hatred for the truth.  John 7.1-9

As you read or listen to John 7, verses one through nine, notice three things: Jesus was well aware of timing; his brothers did not believe in him; the world hated him because he spoke the truth about them.…

You’ve been praying and praying…         John 6.60-69/prayer

Just in case you are one who is ready to turn away because you have been praying and praying, and it seems your prayers are hitting the ceiling … you just might be like those in the crowd that…

Yet though he slay me.  John 6.60-69

This is a scene that makes my heart ache for Jesus.  The people have seen his heart—they have heard his teaching, been fed by him, and seen him heal . . . but now, once something is required of them, they turn away from…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you that You care for me. Forgive me when I fail to trust You and try to take matters in my own hands. Lord, I know that You have the best plan for my life. Please give me the grace to accept it and to do the things that you are speaking to me about each day. Lord, help me to be patient as You work in other people's lives that affect mine. May I extend to them the same grace and mercy that You have extended to me. Lord, grant me the grace to change the things…

ONLY ONE.  John 6.60-69

Oh sure, they were ‘all in’ when he was doing the miraculous . . . come on, do some more!  They were ‘all in’ when he was telling them about a kingdom which would have no end … they were sick of harsh Roman rule over…

The love of money can motivate any evil on this earth.

1) Worldly rich: Rich sometimes get rich by oppressing the poor. There are many wicked rich people in this world who have hardened their hearts filled with arrogancy, selfishness, harshness, cold-heartedness throwing rich parties wasting their money on useless things, who are overfed and has no pity nor concerned about the poor but are hoarded with wealth, pride and refused to pay their workers, who…

The righteous man is the one who listen to God, who fear God and who do not practices his own righteousness but he lives according to the Scriptures and Gods ways .

He makes a great relationship with God as his top priority. Gods word says that eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer” (1 Peter 3:12; Psalm 34:15), and, again, “the prayer of the upright pleases Him” (Proverbs 15:8).

When a righteous man prays, there is…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for allowing me to have children and grandchildren. Lord, help me to be the proper kind of parent who loves her children enough to discipline them. Forgive me when I have failed my children. Help me to be patient, loving, and kind in all disciplinary acts. Lord, I pray for the parents and grandparents of this generation that they may have wisdom, love and guidance in all of their relationships with their children and grandchildren. Lord, give our children…

Today as you go through your day what is your vision telling you? Do your eyes seem to be blurry in seeing others? The guy who cut you off in traffic today was really helping cloud your vision right? The clerk in the store with the wild haircut, how did she appear to you? Your husband/ wife now there is someone who can really give you vision difficulty. Did your eyes focus this morning on Jesus or on you this morning?

From the moment we get up in the morning our eyes start…

Matt 10:25 25 Students are to be like their teacher, and slaves are to be like their master. And since I, the master of the household, have been called the prince of demons, the members of My household will be called by even worse names! Have you ever had one of those days? It does not brighten our day when we know others have bad days also. Yet, we are given verses like Heb 2:18 Since He Himself has gone through suffering…

Several years ago, The Lord showed me a rose.  I was sitting in my garden weeping.  I was weeping because my heart was broken.  I had recently surrendered my life to the Lord, and my husband was really mad… I mean really mad.  He wanted a divorce.  I was heartbroken.  So I sat down to speak with My Saviour…I sat on the stairs in my garden in front of the roses.  The Lord showed me the dirt, and told me about the roots beneath the dirt.  He told me that the roots have to grow in deep to…

Dear Father, Thank you for giving us work to do. A good occupation brings satisfaction to our lives when we are faithful to do a good days work. Lord, help this generation to be diligent workers and deliver us all from sloth. Help us teach our children how to be good workers too. Deliver us from the sin of laziness. Also, Lord, keep us from the opposite sin, the sin of being a workaholic. May we be balanced in our work and play. I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.…

Do you think it would have been easier for you to put your trust in Jesus if you lived in the first century, rather than now?  Would you more readily believe that Jesus was sent by God if you saw him do a miracle with your own eyes, instead of reading someone else’s account of it?  What I am saying is, do you think that believing would come easier to you if you…

 Years ago, while still a teenager,

a white flag in my heart I waved;

for I tendered a total surrender

to the Lord on the day I was saved.



From Salvation’s message properly explained,

my spirit easily recognized absolute Truth;

so my desire towards Christ was ignited

with acceptance of Him in my childhood’s youth.



Learning from others’ mistakes

and reading the Word with diligence,

in supplication’s prayers I requested

Solomon’s gift of…

Written down is God's Word;

we are encouraged to be heavenly, joint heirs.

So examine His Word for Truth's proof,

for His wish is that 'we join Him there'.



Jehovah first gave of Himself,

breathing Life into Man's creation.

Now He is waiting patiently...

And anticipating a grand celebration.



Final merging of the family tree

are earthly souls and angelic beings;

hear the chorus of praise resound

from all of us eternally…

According to King Solomon it is: [NOTE: Vanity=King James Version; same as Meaningless = NIV]

“What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.” (Ecclesiastes 1:3,4)

“And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my…

I've just created a "new" group titled: Standing on the Word of God.  Please drop by and leave your favourite Bible Verse(s) and if you like, say why that verse is meaningful in your life.

Abundant Blessings to…

I'm sorry everyone. I'm a failure. I'm a stumbling block to the Body of Christ.

If I say something to my mom I'm really putting this family,including her, at such a big risk.

Wounds open. How can I excpect to heal from a wound when it's just going to open up again? I try to heal but than it just gets torn open again. What's the point in even trying to heal anymore? What's the point of healing when the pain will just come back again?

I'm a…

Dear Father, Thank you for your love and kindness in giving me a good husband. Lord, help me to be a good wife to my husband in every way. Let our marriage bring glory to you. Lord, I pray for those who are having problems in their marriages. Heal them and give them Your love and patience for each other. Father, as Christians may our families reflect Your love and goodness to all around us. Restore the broken families that are seeking You. Touch the children and heal them also. I ask…
