Christmas…A Holiday, A Season, or a Lifestyle?

The angel said to them [the shepherds] “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people”. Luke 2:10



“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”…the words to a song I heard on the radio a short time ago. As I was out walking Angel Joy this afternoon, sure enough the song was right. Around the neighborhood many houses were quite festive with their lights, decorations and greenery. It was indeed… Continue

Give Thanks All Ways and Always

Let us come before Him with thanksgiving.

Psalm 95:2

Give thanks in all circumstances.

I Thessalonians 5:18



On Friday evening, I was getting ready to lead the online prayer group as I have done for over a year now. It had, however, been a very difficult and emotionally trying day. I had spoken online with a friend who had several concerns. I was beginning to get discouraged and knew that I needed a MAJOR attitude adjustment before… Continue

Running the Race



Let us set aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us and let us run with endurance the race that is before us.

Hebrews 12:1



Aerodynamics is very important in racing I am told. Not being a science major, I take their word for it! Runners wear clothing that will help them win the race and not cause resistance from the wind. They do not want anything in any form of racing that would weight them down and cause their time to be diminished.… Continue

The Opposition He Endured



Consider Him [Jesus] who endured such opposition from sinful men so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:3



Consider this scenario….people you thought were your friends and supporters suddenly turn against you. They say horrible things about you and spread untrue and negative rumors concerning things you allegedly did. Worse yet, they turn you into the police and file false charges against you. You are found guilty…and at your… Continue

The Jersey Collector



As many of you as were baptized into Christ have been clothed yourself with Christ.

Galatians 3:27



What we wear is not what counts. As stated in I Samuel 16:7, “The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart”. The Lord indeed does not look at our outward appearance. He does not judge us by how tall or short, thin or heavy we are or how nicely we dress. That is, sadly, however… Continue

Consumed or Conquered ?



Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23



Let not your hearts be troubled.

John 14:1



Jeremiah did not write the words above from Lamentations at a time when he was sitting in an ivory castle with servants waiting on him hand and foot. He was going through some very difficult and trying times. He was greatly… Continue

The Eyes of the Lord



He does not take His eyes off the righteous.

Job 36:7



Last night I had trouble falling asleep. I had a lot on my mind. I had just finished prayer and fellowship time with my online prayer group and there were a lot of concerns and needs expressed during this time. Other personal issues also “cluttered” my mind and made falling asleep difficult. As I laid in bed, I began to thank God for all His blessings in my life. One thought lead to another. I… Continue
