In our Lord’s parable of the “Bags of Gold” (Matthew 25) I saw the difference between God’s Handouts and the Government’s handouts. In this parable we learn how God entrusts us with His wealth for the Kingdom. To some He gives more than to others, but to all He gives – so they can… 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
I love the book of Esther because it teaches as well as honors the good affect that a virtuous woman has on her husband, or a king and his kingdom. It reveals the glad heart of a real man or true king when he sees genuine beauty of femininity and wisdom in a woman who… 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 »
Loving Myself?
My Christian friend and I were talking, and she shared how hard it is for her to “love herself.” I thought, “Is that what we’re supposed to do, love ourselves?” “Can we really do that?” “What did Jesus teach us about love?” Then I began to see the deception of the enemy in my friend’s… Read more »
The Proverbs 31 Woman – Chapter 40 – Orderly Life
I’ve heard so many people say that they feel “peace” in our home. A peaceful home has God’s order in it. If we reject God’s laws of order then we become part of the increasing chaos and hostility in society. God’s family on the earth is God’s pillars in society. When the ‘family’ is… Read more »
The Proverbs 31 Woman – Chapter 39 – Character Building
The godly character that you have helps your husband become the man of God he was intended to be. The ungodly character that a wife holds on to can hinder her husband from becoming the man of God he is to become. This does not mean that your husband has no responsibility of his own,… Read more »
The Proverbs 31 Woman – Chapter 38 – Real and Respectable
Real men are offended when women compete with them, especially their wives. They don’t like being shown up by a woman who thinks she is better than a man. Real men don’t like being bossed, told what to do, when and how to do it. This does not make a man less a man because this offends… Read more »
Nearer To You
“You opened by mind to Heaven above and captured my heart with Your holy love. A life of joy and lasting forgivenness, I never fear cuz I’m in Your presence. You gave me strengths and weakness too. Weakness is better, it’s drawn to You. I treasure Your words that light my path and show me… Read more »
The Proverbs 31 Woman – Chapter 37 – Leaders of Influence
“Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.” Daniel 12:3-4 Righteousness is doing that which is right according to God. In each human a seed of “greatness” has been put by our wonderful Creator Father God…. Read more »
