For He has rescued us and has drawn us to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has transferred us to the Kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty]. Colossians 1:13-14 As you recall from our last blog, because of sin, the flesh, and the enemy of our souls, Our Father rescued us from their powers and brought us into the Kingdom…
Have you ever felt like you weren’t good enough, pretty enough, or smart enough? And no matter what you did to try to change you, those feelings underneath the surface still lingered. The messages we received from our family, friends, teachers, television, movies, and even ourselves remind us of how flawed we are. So what do we do? We began comparing ourselves to each other, saying, “At least I am not as bad off as… or I am smarter…
I watched a YouTube video a few months ago, whereas a wife asked her husband, “Honey, what is God’s name?” As he set his dinner plate on the table, he responded innocently, “Howard.” “Howard?” she asked snickering. “Where did you get Howard from?” Then her husband confidently replied, “Our Father who art in heaven, Howard would be your name.” Okay, I know our Father has many names but I am sure Howard is not one of them, right?…
This is an interesting question Jesus asked a young lady years ago when she asked a sister in Christ for prayer. She asked Jesus to bless her business and add more clients. Sounds like a very sensible thing to ask, right? Little do you know is, whenever things didn’t go her way, she just wanted a quick fix out of her situation. Does this sound familiar? Jesus had been trying to get her attention through the difficulties in her life but instead…

Revised Post from January 2018 “ALL THINGS were created by Him and FOR Him. For His pleasure, ALL THINGS were created.” Colossians 1:16 and Revelation 4:11 Once there was a lady gardening in her backyard. As she was digging in the earth with her hands, she saw a little caterpillar climbing up a leaf. The caterpillar quietly climbed the leaf and feasted on it as he climbed. The lady had never seen a caterpillar in the garden before…
In 1946, a British soldier was found by a villager hiding in a foxhole in the hills of London from the German soldiers. His face was dirty and covered in horse manure where he laid hidden for weeks behind the old farmhouse. When the villager asked, “Sir, why are you hiding?” The soldier looked at the villager in amazement and asked him, “Why aren’t you hiding from the Germans?” The villager still puzzled, scratched his head, and asked, “Should I…
It’s beautiful to reflect on the Amazing love relationship you and I share with our Lord Jesus Christ. We are His Bride and He is our Bridegroom, both now and forevermore. I was in a mushy mood this week and decided to send out a simple song for you to listen to and enjoy! ENJOY CHRIST AND ENJOY LIFE!
Having fears of different things is real. Don’t let anyone fool you. Just because we love Jesus and trust in His power to protect us never means that we don’t have fears we have to face with Him to overcome. If you have been reading my blogs, I talked about some of my fears…remember the story of the lizard. Below is a short excerpt from my blog JESUS OUR RESCUER FROM OUR FEARS Over 30 years, I ran…
Reposted from May 2018 A husband spent months working on his beautiful painting for his wife’s birthday gift. He labored night and day in his little paint shop in the basement getting the colors just perfect. It was a picture of her favorite flowers only found in certain parts of the world. As he prepared for bed, after his last stroke, “Magnificent!” he exclaimed as he sighed a sound of relief. Then he closed his eyes and kissed his…
