I grew up in the state where “Dunkin’ Donuts” was created. You may be unfamiliar with that name, but Dunkin Donuts is a fast food chain that makes a variety of donuts and coffees. It began in Massachusetts, (where I am originally from) and throughout Massachusetts Dunkin’ Donuts is so popular that there are Dunkin’s […]
The Word of God is very prevalent for this day and age. In fact, I believe that if we would just be obedient and study the Word of God, the results would/do promote spiritual, emotional AND physical benefits. In fact, I’d even bet that a “scripture a day” would be better then Mary Poppin’s “spoonful […]
Here’s the thing – the thing that everything inside of you is telling you, you don’t have it in you to do – is the thing God wants you to place down beneath the cross. All of the “But God…” or the “Lord, you SAW what he/she/they did!…” All the “Lord, why didn’t You…” All […]
Jesus shared the following parable, one that stands out in my head and is very prevalent for today. Matthew 13:1-9: “A farmer went out to plant his seed. He scattered the seed on the ground. Some fell on a path. Birds came and ate it up. Some seed fell on rocky places, where there wasn’t […]
Ol Slewfoot’s goal is to keep you from accomplishing God’s purpose in your life. Keep you from taking the time to worship, keep you from finding the time to read God’s Word. If you allow him to do this, you become spiritually malnourished. You can become discouraged and heavy hearted and depressed (all of which […]
This past autumn, I was dealing with an unexpected family emergency when the first frost hit. My beautiful outside plants that I had very lovingly and carefully cared for became victimized, carefully and as quickly as I could I brought one particular plant in that I thought perhaps I could save, but the next day […]
The Serenity Prayer is very common and well known: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; […]
In the last post Holy Spirit had me write a post entitled, “Who Do You Say I am?” (See post below). God is Asking You – “Who Do You Say I Am?” In this post, I’d like to share that it’s not enough to know who Jesus is. We have to BELIEVE it. And as […]
As I prayed this morning for a word to write, I asked Holy Spirit, “what would you have me write this morning?” There has been such a spirit of heaviness with all that is going on in this world and I wanted a fresh new Word from Him. This is what He said: “Ask them, […]
The older I get, the more I realize how dependent upon the Lord I am. I have found myself wondering, “How did Jesus do it?” I think about the Scriptures and I wonder how Jesus kept focused, during the darkest time in His life. Betrayal from within His inner-circle… Betrayal from someone who was one of […]
There is an urgency for all of us to understand that the time for us to pray for God’s mercy IS now. This is not the time to be complacent and oblivious to what is going on behind the earthly realm of your life. I have been dreaming about a large hand moving, I believe […]
I woke up in the quiet of this morning praying. I’m at a point in my life where I truly understand the scripture that says: “If I didn’t praise Him the rocks would cry out.” (Luke 19:40) I’ve come to learn that true worship really does come from your heart. It is not lip service it is really […]
