I have heard that faith can be many things, but what I have been shown in the Word of God is very simple. Faith comes by hearing from the Lord. When the Lord speaks to us from within the Holy Bible He tells us the end, but does not tell us what the journey will be…. Read more »

Ready and Prepared?
I found this man’s recount of the last 50 years of the Church’s decline in America very thought provoking. The “Jesus Movement” was an epic revival, called by some historians “The Fourth Great Awakening.” It swept millions into the Christian Faith from its inception around 1965 to its demise around 1985. Biblical prophecy became… Read more »

The Proverbs 31 Woman – Chapter 42 – Groomed for Royalty

Almost 2/3 of our taxes are to pay for short term solutions of the past, called entitlements. When we think government… Read more »
The Proverbs 31 Woman – Chapter 41 – Home of the Just
The Bible has been called all sorts of things by all kinds of people who judge God’s Word when they could be wonderfully changed by God’s Word. The Bible continues to live on by transforming one bewildered mind after another, one meaningless life after another, one broken marriage after another, one dysfunctional family after another,… Read more »
Red Herring
Proverbs 22:17-19,21 “Pay attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach, for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and have all of them ready on your lips. So that your trust may be in the Lord, I teach you today, even… Read more »
