Satisfaction

The world keeps changing the names of the treasures, but the pursuit remains the same. People still chase laughter to escape sorrow. We seek entertainment to escape silence. We desire more possessions to escape insecurity. We strive to accomplish to escape insignificance. We want status to escape being forgotten. Ecclesiastes demonstrates the ultimate futility of…

All Needs Met

We all have daily needs and occasional desperate crys. Our heavenly Father is faithful to provide for all that He knows we need. The wide lanes that lead to destruction are congested with traffic headed to hell. The proud reject the very notion of a Savior, as many are annoyed by the mighty name of…

Full Disclosure

Jesus gives us full disclosure: 1. The Christ Means “the Anointed One” or the “Messiah” This title affirms Jesus as the one chosen by God to fulfill the prophecies of the Hebrew Scriptures. 2. The Lord is His title that denotes authority and His divinity. Jesus as the sovereign Ruler over heaven and earth. 3.…

Life Hurts

Moses stuttered and spent years in the wilderness before the burning bush. Jeremiah was young and known as the weeping, unwelcomed spokesman of God. Joseph was hated by his siblings and spent time in prison. Ruth lost everything and Rahab was disrespected by all of Jericho. Paul was in chains as he wrote most of…

Fight and Win

The battle is real and it is daily! With armor on we choose to worship God not whine in defeat. Choose to release praise and crush the enemies schemes. Be thankful to God because you are filled with the Holy Spirit. You are God’s priceless possession and our heavenly Father rejoices over us! The Spirit…

Corrections

The desire for a deeper relationship with God leads us into repentance. “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10 ❤️ “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double minded.” James 4:8…

Culture Conflict

We ask God to tell us the Truth, to guide us, to give us wisdom and He responds with words that make us squirm to test our faith. Read Jeremiah 42 and 2 Peter 2 and perhaps get very uncomfortable with today’s sexually charged culture. The “Days of Lot” is a reference to the account…

All Sufficient

Until Jesus is enough, no person, place, or thing will ever be. Slow down to reflect. Lord, am I still anchored in You or have I drifted? Being stilled in that quiet, God reminds us of something simple but pretty deep. His fixed, unchanged truth is rock solid. But all of us on occasion look…

God said…

With zero contradictions, all scripture was recorded on 66 ancient scrolls, in 3 different languages, by 40 different chosen quill holders, over 3 separate continents, for our benefit. “All scripture is God breathed.” Therefore, every word has deep significance. “But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them He gave the right to become children of…

See the Signs

“So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” 😱 Revelation 3:16 Do not continue to resist change, stiff necked, stubborn, unforgiving, prideful, bitter, and critical. Shall you justify your right to your ways as they are covered by grace? Certainly not! Romans 6:1 ❤️ Humble yourself…
