God is LOVE

Hello everyone: God is love! He gave everything He had just for us! He taught us how to truly love and he still leaves us an option to either love Him back or not. But He still loves us no matter what we choose. I chose to love Him and give to Him everything of mine for His divine purposes that others may see Christ in me! Surrender is the most wonderful, freeing experience in the world! May God bless all of you and may you experience all the love God freely gives to you! In His Love and Care,… Continue

How I Study a Bible Passage (2)

The FIRST step is DISSECTING (as I showed in the previous post).

The SECOND step is UNDERSTANDING what is writen.

These are the things I look at and ask, in no particular order:

** THE CONTEXT - What comes before and what comes after?

** CROSS REFERENCES - What do other parts of the Bible say about this? The Bible is a progressive book of God's revelation, so the later revelations generally come later in the… Continue

I KNow ..... Who Is My Lord !!!!

I Know ..Who Is My Lord !!!!

I know He is the beginning, so why do I worry about the end?

How I Study a Bible Passage (1)

I feel this may be of benefit to someone, to help you study and understand a passage of Scripture. I want to share here how I do it.

The FIRST thing I do after reading the passage is to dissect it into manageable parts, so I can find out what the passage is really saying. I was asked to look at Deut 6, so I'm using this as an example. (The text is NKJ):

Deut 6:1-9 - THE GREATEST…

COMFORT FOR GOD'S CHILDREN

Why do believers suffer?

Comfort for God's children:

Why is there suffering in the world and why do we as Christians suffer.

Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do Good things happen to bad people ?

If there is a God of love why does He allow suffering, especially to those He loves?

We live in a world from the… Continue

WAY too HEAVY!!

At our Tuesday night Bible study, we'd been studying Hebrews. We've just come to the end and finished chapter 13 a couple of weeks ago. It only took us just under two years. (You can't rush these things!!) :-)

Anyhow, rewind eight chapters back!! We were looking at chapter 5 and talking about the priesthood.

When I think of a priest, I'd think of someone dressed in… Continue

Words for the Weary!

(Posted last July on one of my other blogs...)

Here are some thoughts from the Bible on "Yokes and Burdens" ...

Firstly, some words from Jesus:

"At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My…

Cause & Effect - Gods universal principle

Galatians 6:7

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. NIV

There’s a warning against deceiving ourselves, imagining that we can sow one thing in life and reap something different, imagining that we can get away with things that God won’t see, that we won’t be caught up with the consequences of our actions. The Bible warns us this isn’t so. God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

We know this is true in the natural realm. We… Continue

THE WAY BACK HOME

THE WAY BACK HOME

In Luke chapter fifteen we find a story that Jesus told that we call, “The Prodigal Son.” The story is a very moving story about a wayward son and how he came to his senses and returned home to his father.

I want to discuss the process of him returning to his father.

In verse eleven Jesus said, "A man had two sons.” he went on to say that the younger of the two sons wanted his share of the… Continue

WHILE I AM WAITING

WHILE I AM WAITING

“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart:

wait, I say, on the LORD.” (PSALM 27:14 KJV)

You might be very surprised to know that the word, wait in the above verse means something very different from our English word , wait.

When we think of waiting, we think of some one waiting for a bus, or waiting for to be seated… Continue

My Take on WEALTH!!

There was a BIG discussion going on in the chat room today about riches. And is it right for a Christian to desire wealth? And the love-of-money-is-the-root-of-all-evil verse was quoted.

So what should our attitude be? And why are there some Christians who are very blessed with money, and then other Christians who have nothing? Doesn't it seem a bit unfair on God's part that some have and some don't?

Well, that is questions I've tackled with for years. But at last, I see… Continue

THE REFUGE HOMELESS CHURCH MINISTRY

Every Sunday I serve at the Refuge homeless shelter for about 5 hours.

It's a long drive for me because of where I live, but it's well worth the trip just to spend time with my homeless friends.

The Refuge is what we call a Church without walls for the homeless.

You see the homeless don't feel accepted at a reguler Church, so some of my friends and I bring Church to them as you can see from the pictures below.…

~BROKENESS~

~~~BROKENNESS~~~~~~~

“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart - these, O God, You will not despise" (Psalm 51:17).

What to do when you feel broken in spirit? What to do when you feel broken in heart?

What to do when you struggle each day to make things right and all your efforts fail?

What to do when you are constantly broke down by others who do not understand you?

What to do… Continue

Life in the Body

So...thank you those of you who sent me such great encouragement. Thank you for thinking of me and taking a moment to let me know that you were. A turning point came through Paige's reference to Habakkuk...I did read this book and I was amazed. I have been a student of the Word for years, but always skipped through the book of a prophet whose name I do not know how to pronounce! Here I was blessed. The Amplified Bible says this at 3:19 - The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery and my… Continue
