GOD’S PRESENCE IN OUR PAIN

So, if “Immanuel,” (meaning “God with us”), was one of the names given Jesus, and Scripture promises believers he will never leave us or forsake us. . . well then, how do we come to… Continue

Any Other Day

" Any Other day"

Christmas shouldn't be much different than any other day

We should think about the Savior as we go along our way

If you gave your heart to Jesus to have and to hold

If you told Him that your heart is truly His to mold

Then Christmas shouldn't be much different a day to celebrate

Than the ordinary days we'll bring to heavens gate

So lets all try to live each day as God would have us do

With… Continue

Asking for Prayers

I would like to ask for prayers for my daughter-in-law (Liz) and family. She was and still is in lots of pain. After testing, it has been found that she has a multiple cyst on her ovaries and something wrong with the pancreas but they do not know what yet. God can do incredible things I know. My son (David) is the prodical son and my daughter-in-law has left her Morman background for accepting Christ as her Savior, but is not walking with Him. They also have a precious 20 month old girl (Laci).… Continue

Be The Salt

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.Galatians 5:22-23

In Matthew 5:13, Jesus calls His followers to be the "salt of the earth." What qualities does salt possess that we can exhibit in our spiritual lives?

First, salt adds flavor. Salt doesn't bring change to itself; it seasons that which needs improved taste. In the same way, we are… Continue

Invisible People

On the street I saw a small girl cold and shivering in a thin dress, with little hope of a decent meal. I became angry and said to God; “Why did you permit this? Why don’t you do something about it?” For a while God said nothing. That night he replied, quite suddenly: “I certainly did something about it. I made you.” - Invisible People

Another day, another discovery. What I found is a blog about "invisible people." Do you know them? Have you seen one? You may say, "How can I see them… Continue

Are there things I do that silence God's presence?

ARE THERE THINGS YOU DO THAT SILENCE GOD’S PRESENCE?

Jesus Christ, our Immanuel, God with us. . .

Yesterday, I discussed how to feel God’s presence in and around you, but today I ask the question: Are there things I do, or might do, that would silence his presence?

I think so. . . while he will not go away necessarily, your ability to feel him will be dimmed. So, what can you do?

Refrain from activities that would “grieve” Him~

To grieve God is to hurt… Continue

The Storms - God's Purpose

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Romans 8:28-29

Believers have a choice about how they will respond to life’s tempests. Either they can cast blame while becoming resentful and bitter, or they can turn to the Lord and ask,“What is Your… Continue

Are you seeking the gifts or the Giver?

Are you seeking the gifts or the Giver?

Sometimes we get so caught up in seeking God's presents that we forget all about His presence! God wants every believer to remain in His presence and have a personal relationship with Him just like you would with any other friend.

How do you feel God's presence?

HOW DO YOU FEEL GOD’S PRESENCE? At Christmas time, or any time!

“The Lord himself will give you a sign:

The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son,

and will call him Immanuel,”

spoken by Isaiah some 700 years before the birth of Christ. Isn’t that amazing?

Matthew’s account of the birth of Jesus Christ includes the angel’s announcement to Joseph that his betrothed, Mary, was to bear a son. This was a fulfillment of the above… Continue

The old familiar story - Luke 2

Good Morning, dear ones~

The day we celebrate our Lord's birth draws nigh . . .

He was born in an obscure village, the child of a simple peasant woman. He grew up in another obscure village, where He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never had a family. He never owned a home. He never set foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place He was born, and where he did go he usually… Continue
