Gideon made a sacred ephod from the gold from the battle, and soon they all were worshiping it. It became a trap for Gideon and his family. (Judges 8:27) The ephod was made as a reminder of a great victory, and yet it became a prideful snare. If I begin to think that my worth… Read more »

God is Neither Easy Nor Hard to Know
As I was talking to my Father God this morning, I had to thank Him (once again) for who He is. I thought about what He had said to me a while back, “Give me more of you and I will give you more of Me.” The thought came this morning that ‘God is neither… Read more »
An Old and New Testament Perspective
I continually read through the Old Testament and the New Testament at the same time, going chapter to chapter, beginning to end, and then starting over again. The main thing I see with the Old Testament that is different from New Testament is the way God deals with the heads of nations/governments whether they are… Read more »
God’s Promises are Sure
Promises given by Jesus to His church: Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are… Read more »
My Failures Don’t Change God’s Plan For Me
I was praying to my Father God about my regrets of all my failures as a believer – thinking that He must make adjustments for in His plan for me. He reminded me that ALL my “failures” ARE INDEED PART OF HIS PLAN; no adjusting necessary. Oh how that frees me! And oh how that… Read more »
REPARATIONS and WHITE PRIVILEGE
Listening to all the discussions on both sides, and demands of “reparations” I was thinking about it in a different way. GOD will one day give “reparations” for the suffering His own children went through for the sake of His Kingdom and Gospel. The false-reparation idea for today’s black population because long ago negro-slaves lived… Read more »
Religion vs. Relationship
What does it mean to be delivered from religion? What’s so wrong with being a “religious person?” Jesus didn’t come to start any religion. He came to start a personal relationship with us, as we see with His time on earth spent day by day with those He called and those He ministered to personally… Read more »
Truth or Lie
To maintain a lie requires two things: ongoing lies, lie upon lie, and to never forget the first lie! An example of this is what the liberal left say about a man and women. They say it is not dependent upon how you are born, but rather how you feel. To believe this lie will… Read more »
The Truth Sets Free
Reading through the book of Jeremiah the prophet (in God’s Word) I’m encouraged by what the LORD GOD says to those who trust in Him: “I WILL SAVE YOU, because you trust in Me.” Jeremiah 39:18 As I see all that we are faced with today (under this wicked administration running our nation) and the… Read more »
Jesus Revolution
We went to see the movie “Jesus Revolution,” a true story based on the book of the same name. The story follows youth minister Greg Laurie and pastor Chuck Smith as they take part in the Jesus movement in California during the late-1960s. The younger generation had lost hope in the government and organized religion…. Read more »
