Following Your Heart
We have all heard it . . . just follow your heart. What does God say about that? “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9) “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and…
Read MoreDon’t Be Deceived
I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to…
Read MoreThe Power of God’s Word
Hebrews 4:12 – For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. How often do we forget the power of God’s…
Read MoreWithout Faith
Without faith, it is impossible to please Him. Hebrews 11:6 … Yet, I often find myself not practicing faith in the One who is faithful. I even try to excuse it, and even worse, I sometimes decide to do things my own way to “help God out.” That is faithlessness – and that is not…
Read MoreThe World vs. God
The world says be proud of yourself. God says, Pride goeth before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18 The world says, stand on your own two feet. God says, Some boast in chariots and some in horses, But we will boast in the name of the LORD, our God. Psalm 20:7…

My heart is filled with love and longing for those who do not understand the grace of God’s love in sending His only Son. It was promised from the beginning when we first were fooled into not understanding and believing in God’s love. Genesis 3:15 is the first promise of our savior: And I will…
Read MoreDo Not Be Afraid
The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom then shall I fear. My God goes before me everywhere I go. Because I am a believer, His Holy Spirit is always with me. I am never alone and I never face any obstacle by myself. If you abide in me, and my word abides in…
Read MoreGrace for Each Moment
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am about to rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law or not. On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in,…
Read MoreThe Lord Is My Shepherd
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Psalm 23:1. How many times do we forget God’s role as our shepherd. We are his sheep. He makes us to lie down in green pastures . . . Sheep don’t look at a wolf and say to themselves, hmmm, what am I going to do…
Read MoreLife Throws You Curves
Sometimes, life throws you a curve. The death of a loved one, a lost job, a debilitating illness – anything unexpected – or in some cases expected, can send you into a spiral. Where will you end up? Often, our response, at least in my case is that my stomach sinks, my heart races and…
