You don’t have to have a “stiff upper lip” when it comes to being real with God… I’ve been thinking a lot about this, the spirit of religion is one that runs rampant. What is the spirit of religion? Jesus defined it in Matthew 15:8: “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts […]
It doesn’t matter what people say about you. It doesn’t matter what they think about you. Stop getting caught up in the approval or acceptance of others. THEY do NOT determine YOUR worth – GOD DOES. Think about it – if Noah had listened to all the naysayers who mocked and criticized him for building […]
What an amazing God who loved us enough to bless us with free-will… The ability to choose… What a sacrificial gift to bestow upon those He created in His own image, already knowing that in doing so we would cause Him great pain in choosing to disobey Him… God could have created us with a […]
We are vessels – we need to make sure that what we are filled up with is Holy Spirit. A vessel is filled with something – carries something inside of it. What are you filled up with? Make sure you are a carrier of whatever it is God has intended you to be – seek […]
When I made the decision to make Jesus my Savior, Lord over my life I truly had NO idea that that decision would not only be the MOST important decision I would EVER make, but I also had no idea how true Galatians 2:20 is: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer […]
The church is the body of Christ, WE are the church – not a building, not a place but the people. I have written about this in a post entitled, “Here’s the Church, Here’s the Steeple, Open the Door – Here’s all the People” (click on pink link listed below): Here’s the Church, Here’s the […]
I cannot imagine what it must have been like for those that loved Jesus to see Him hanging from that cross. As a mother, I cannot imagine Mary’s anguish. As a friend and as a follower, it must have been excruciating not being able to do anything to help Him. Knowing that He did NOT […]
We sometimes look at the Bible and forget that every person written IN the Word of God were living and breathing people – just like you and I. THEY WERE REAL. They were not characters in a book of fiction, they were people spoken about FOR A TIME SUCH AS THIS. God has placed US […]
I don’t know what it is you are going through, or if you are going through anything at all… But there is ONE thing I DO know – GOD IS GREATER. If you are feeling helpless, like you don’t have ANY answers – let me tell you this – GOD is the answer. He’s the […]
There is a song that use to play over and over again in my soul. It was set there at childhood and has played throughout the course of my life – 55 years, until I realized I didn’t have to listen to it anymore – the lyrics were not lyrics that God intended to be spoken […]
What are you speaking over your life or the lives of your family? You can in ignorance speak curses over your family by your words. Speak blessings over your family, not curses! Watch what you say! It is with Words that God created the Heaven and the earth, take a look at the book of […]
