Most of the time when we think of the word blessed or blessings, we associate that with favor or receiving good things. Webster's 1828 dictionary defines it this way: “made happy or prosperous; extolled; pronounced happy.” In Christian circles we often hear that we should not seek to be happy, happiness is fleeting, and… Continue reading Do You Want To Be Blessed?

Is There a Difference?
Leviticus 10:10-11 “And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.” Is there a difference in your home and life between things that are holy… Continue reading Is There a Difference?
Yes, I am a Christian, but…
Yes, I am a Christian. But I am not perfect. I do not always represent Jesus as well as I should or even as well as I desire to. I do not intentionally do or say things that will make my Saviour look bad. I do not purposefully push you away from Him. The… Continue reading Yes, I am a Christian, but…
When Will You Leave Egypt?
Today’s thoughts are from Exodus chapter 3. So much has happened up to this point. The Israelites are in Egypt, in bondage under the new king. Joseph has died, the Israelites have grown in number, and the new king is intimidated and threatened by their size. His answer is to enslave, control, and mistreat them.… Continue reading When Will You Leave Egypt?
Be Ye Angry and Sin Not
“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:”, Ephesians 4:26. We often hear a lot about this verse and its different applications. We see that this is not condemning anger. Anger is an emotion given to us by God, but just like all other emotions, it has a… Continue reading Be Ye Angry and Sin Not
What is a Titus 2 Woman: Part 2
We have already looked at verses 3-5 in a previous post. Today I want to go through verses 7-15. I truly love God’s Word and how He teaches us so much in just a few verses. I believe verse 7 begins giving instruction for all Christians, not just men or women as we have experienced… Continue reading What is a Titus 2 Woman: Part 2
The Blessings of Obedience
John 2:5 “His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” This is at Cana of Galilee when the wedding feast Jesus was attending ran out of wine. I am not going to get into the debate of wine versus juice, nor the debate of Christians drinking alcohol. Take that to… Continue reading The Blessings of Obedience
Thoughts from Colossians 1
Wow. There is just so much in here! I love how God’s Word comes to life right where we are! This chapter gives instruction and encouragement. Let’s start with the introduction we find here. Paul is the writer and just like in his other letters, he addresses himself as an apostle of Jesus Christ. In… Continue reading Thoughts from Colossians 1
How’s Your Walk?
We hear many things referring to our spiritual walk. Usually, this refers to your daily walk or daily devotions. We are encouraged to be consistent in this area, and I agree that we should be. However, Scripture has a lot to say about our walk. Galatians 5:16 says, “This I say then, Walk in the… Continue reading How’s Your Walk?
A Hard Truth
Most of us want others to be honest with us in all situations. At least that is what we say. What about when the truth is hard? Life-changing? Some truths are easier to hear and accept than others. However, if the truth is truth, then it is always what we need to hear. One of… Continue reading A Hard Truth
