I have been reading through the Old Testament for about a year now. The recurring theme is man’s sin, God’s grace, and redemption. Yes, there are lots of warnings and judgments, too, but we constantly see the Israelites straying from God. Their sin was idolatry. We all worship something. Idolatry started back in the Garden… Continue reading Why We Are Drawn To Idolatry

Think On These Things
What are you thinking about? What have you spent time thinking about this week or this month? Is there a topic or two that is reoccurring? It could be a situation you are stressed about or a conversation you keep replaying in your mind. To think is to have a thought in your mind for… Continue reading Think On These Things
What Do You Worship?
Jeremiah 32 is another record of Israel’s sin of idolatry. Judgment would come as a result. Verse 35 should upset all of us. Idolatry always has a price. They would be carried away captive to a foreign land. But in this verse, they were sacrificing their children by fire to a false god. Maybe you… Continue reading What Do You Worship?
Are You Living in Bondage?
Before salvation, we all lived in bondage. We were all slaves to sin and self. Hearing and accepting the gospel set us free from that. The cell door was opened and we were able to step out of the bondage and into a new life- a life of freedom. However, too many Christians have stepped… Continue reading Are You Living in Bondage?
The Most Important Thing to Carry With You at All Times
We all have different responsibilities, places to go, people we influence, and things to prepare for. But the most important thing to carry with you at all times is the same for each of us, no matter where we are. The love of God. The love of God sees people as souls, either on their… Continue reading The Most Important Thing to Carry With You at All Times
Is the Lord Your Savior?
Is the Lord Your Savior? I live in southeast Tennessee, and when you ask someone if they are saved, most people will say yes, followed by their reasoning. They respond with statements such as, “Granddaddy was a preacher,” “I have always believed in God,” “I was raised in church,” or “I am trying to live… Continue reading Is the Lord Your Savior?
Saying “Yes” in 2023
I enjoy the excitement and expectancy of a new year. It feels like a fresh start, changes are coming, and goals are being set. And I can start recovering financially from Christmas and a child’s December birthday (Hallelujah!). If this was a challenging year for you, it feels like a breath of fresh air to… Continue reading Saying “Yes” in 2023
I Have a Gift for You
Most of us like to receive gifts, especially this time of year. There’s a joyful spirit in the air and everyone seems more generous. Giving and receiving gifts are expressions of love. And that’s what I want to give you today. The greatest gift and expression of love ever given. From God to you. That’s… Continue reading I Have a Gift for You
What Do We Really Deserve?
I absolutely dislike, maybe even hate, the word “deserve.” I don’t think this word or mindset has any place in the vocabulary of a Christian. I am trying to be careful here. I am a very black-and-white person as most of you know. Something either is right or it’s not. I don’t have a lot… Continue reading What Do We Really Deserve?
Salvation Before Death
We recently had a death in our family. When we announced that my husband’s grandpa was sick, many people asked if he was saved. As a Christian, I understand the concern for salvation, and I am thankful for the concern. I understand we have heard many stories of deathbed salvation. Anyone can get saved at… Continue reading Salvation Before Death
