Everyone is so concerned about being judged by someone else. From time to time I see the same meme on Facebook that says “don’t judge me because I sin differently from you!” Continue reading
God’s word
Gone Forever!
You’re young and foolish, doing crazy things, and living for yourself. You don’t care what others think – it’s your life and you’ll live it as you want. So you take lots of photo’s and post them online to Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Continue reading

Transformation through God’s word!
I found out that a visitor to our church really enjoyed hearing God’s word. He later told a family member that it gave him a renewed strength to go back home and get back into church with his family. Continue reading
Your thoughts betray you.
I’ve always thought I wasn’t a bad person. Certainly there are those that are worse than me.
I may have lied but I’ve never killed anyone.
I may have lusted but I’ve never raped or committed adultery.
I don’t seek to go and hurt anyone intentionally. Continue reading

Proven, Pure, & Powerful Protection
Gen 15:1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
God did not stop with fear; He also gave reassurance.
“I am your shield!”
A shield is used for protection and in this case it’s very appropriate since it may be an armed adversary is Abram’s concern.
You can take God at His word – it is proven protection. Ps 18:30-As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
His word is pure protection. Prov 30:5-Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
And His word is powerful protection. Eph 6:16-above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
God is your protection also. I’m sure Abram isn’t going to run over to the other kings and taunt them with a “Na-na-na, you can’t get me!”
God’s protection comes with your responsibility to be where God wants you and doing what He has asked of you.
Abba Father, I feel Your shield of protection everyday as it guards my mind and heart. YES&AMEN
