Read the Word

A woman managed to force a violent intruder out of her home by reading Bible verses to him – even though he had already cut her throat.

Someone posted a verse of scripture on Facebook the other evening and as I read it I had a new thought about it.

Noah, Daniel, & Job – Part 1

I was running a Bible reference on Noah the other day and happened upon this passage.
Then this message came to me from the LORD: “Son of man, suppose the people of a country were to sin against me, and I lifted my fist to crush them, cutting off their food supply and sending a famine to destroy both people and animals alike. Continue reading →

Build a Wall; Stand in the Gap

So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. Ezek 22:30
Last time I looked at breaking down the middle wall of separation (Eph 2:14). Continue reading →

It’s the first time we didn’t have all the kids at our house for Christmas dinner and opening of presents.

The Fullness of The Time

But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, Gal 4:4

The Due Date

The due date of December 20th has come and gone; as has the 21st and now it is the morning of the 22nd.

Here I am, on vacation and awaiting the birth of a grandson. Continue reading →

How We Feel About Christmas

For you have perverted the words of the living God. Jer 23:36
There is a bit of romanticism and nostalgia surrounding Christmas.
Consider the songs we love to hear and sing.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos. Continue reading →

With Haste

The shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. Luke 2:15-17 Continue reading →
