Spiritual Blindness
This week has been one of great challenges and unexpected news. It has also brought into my life physical blindness in one eye, thus creating many emotional responses and initiating many interesting thoughts. One is “What would I do if I become completely blind?” “Who can I trust to lead me in the darkness and…
Read MoreThe Greatest LOVE Story Ever Told
Many people have heard the Bible/Jesus’ life described as the greatest story ever told, but I contend that the Bible is truly the greatest LOVE story ever! As we plod through life, going to church, listening to sermons, participating in workshops, or doing workbooks, we often miss the most important point of God’s love, discipline,…
Read MoreYour Tests are God’s Testimony
Sometimes the trials we face in life seem overwhelming and daunting. At times we feel as though we will never experience happiness or joy again. We often feel weighted down with lead and feel we will surely sink to the bottom of the abyss without ever recovering. It is at these times of despair that…
Read MoreFor the Greater Good
Lately, we hear a lot about changes and sacrifices we need to make for the greater good. The “greater good” means to supposedly improve the quality of life for all people. At least that’s what “they” tell us. We also read a lot about people being taken over by governments and “leaders” in many older,…

Matthew 24:10-13 – “And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the words I have spoken to you. Remain in me,…
Read MoreHealing God’s Way
Many of my family and friends are suffering from many illnesses/ailments and are feeling hopeless as they face one failed treatment after another. Many people forget God has a plan for your health and prosperity (Jeremiah 29:11-12) and it is NOT His plan that you suffer through each day, hurting and feeling drained. We have…
Read MoreKindness is Love
For the last two weeks, I have written on love. Love is the theme of the Bible and is mentioned too many times to count, so we know it is very important to God that we love each other. However, knowing God’s position on love and the types of love does not give us a…
