To Fear or Not to Fear
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. (Romans 8:38 NLT) What are you afraid of? What are the things in…

The Heart of Jesus
‘I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. ‘ 1 Timothy 2:1, 3-4 The heart of Jesus is full…

Beyond the church
“Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence. (1 John 3:18-19) Jesus tells us in several places in the gospels that we are to…

Why do I pray?
I pray, that is just who I am. Some may wonder why I spend time in conversation with God, God who is unseen and yet omnipresent. First, God knew at the moment I was born in 1946 exactly who I would be in 2018. He knew in advance all my strengths, my weaknesses – He…

Compassion
“When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd.

Dealing with sin
I know, sin is not the most popular thing to talk about. It is important to talk about it though because sin is insidious and rears it’s ugly head without notice. The fact that you are a disciple of Jesus does not give immunity from sin. 1 John 1:8 says “If we claim to be without sin,…

Believe God’s Love
1 John 4:16 “And we have known and believed the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him” Growing up, I never thought about whether I was loved or not. I didn’t have a traditional family structure, but I was well taken…

What is your red stew?
Genesis 25:29-33 Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished. He said to Jacob, “quick, let me have some of that red stew! I’m famished!” (that is why he was also called Edom) Jacob replied, “first sell me your birthright.” “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said.…

Ephesians 1:1 – a verse study
Paul has been delegated by God to preach. He actively chose Paul according to His eternal purpose. God used Paul to deliver His message to the consecrated followers of Jesus, those who had believed and were trustworthy and true to the cause of Christ. Most translations attribute this letter as addressed to the church at…
