Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.”  Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life?  You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.  Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”  As…

I was a in a happy family with Dad, Mom, brothers and a twin sister. My life is full of family’s love. I’ve never been alone since I was a baby.  Maybe that is the reason why I’m afraid to be alone, I’m scared of loneliness, I hate to be alone. My family and my twin sister are always beside me. I was so sad when my twin sister got married. I decided to get married with the man who I love so much this year but he doesn’t believe in God. I didn’t ask God permission about that because…

IF GOD AND JESUS LOVES U S SO MUCH WHY DOES HE LET SOME OF US LIVE LONELY HURTFUL LIVES, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE DISABLED, AND HURTING, DOES HE JUST WANT TO SEE HOW MUCH MORE MISERABLE HE CAN MAKE US? OR DOES HE REALLY CARE?

Matt 9:30 Two blind men were sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was coming that way, they began shouting, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"

Matt 9:31 "Be quiet!" the crowd yelled at them. But they only shouted louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!" We see this same thing again and again. People who need Jesus cry out; they shout, they are exercising faith. They believe if only Jesus…

What does God speak to you…

from these next few verses in James?

 Pray with me, Friends—“Dear Lord, it is…

Unmerited favor of God

flows continually

and without interruption,

when you are a child of His.

His Love for us is...

Unquestionably unconditional;

however, His Grace is not.

Grace and Love are not equivalent -

We must not endeavor

to confuse these concepts.

God's Word is always steadfast

and is an unmovable truth.







Author Notes:

The standard…

You've lived a life of uncounted days

and your spirit is ready to leave;

but are you ready for the hereafter,

if in God, you don't believe?



For when your spirit and soul separate,

opportunity is gone, as the body decays.

Since our mortal time is not guaranteed,

begin a relationship with Him today.



Regarding your earthly departure,

do you have an Exit Strategy?

Will you be ready to find yourself -

Before Jehovah on bended…

Dear Father, Thank you for the love and forgiveness that You show us daily. Lord, help us to overcome any sin that the enemy tempts us to engage in. Lord, forgive us for the times we fail You. We also forgive those who have hurt us and sinned against us. May they come to repentance so that they might know Your forgiving love too. We all need Your love and mercy. Lord Jesus, be merciful to our family and our friends. Watch over our children and our grandchildren and keep them from harm.…

Good Day.

“Don't speak evil against one another, my brothers and sisters. If you criticize each other and condemn each other, then you are criticizing and condemning God's law. But you are not a judge who can decide whether the law is right or wrong. Your job is to obey it.…

I don’t remember exactly the day I was baptized. I was in God for long time but I didn’t change much. My life before and after baptize is not much different. I only need Him when I got troubles. I also read Bible and prayed to God but God was not in my way, God was not in my central heart.

I met and fell in love with a man before being baptized. I sometimes thought that he was not my man that God chose for me, but I didn’t ask God permission. We planned to get married; everybody…

"The love of God enables me to release the past and forgive myself and others."

FORGIVE

Why is it sometimes easier for me to forgive others than it is for me to forgive myself?  Rather than carry a burden of guilt with me wherever I go, I am learning to release the past and forgive myself by turning everything over to God in prayer.

"Thank You, God, for helping me understand that by forgiving myself I am recognizing that whatever happened was an opportunity for me to…

Grammar classes were always my favorite . . . I liked diagramming sentences--breaking the parts of speech into little branches and trees.  Later, as an English teacher, I liked teaching my students to diagram sentences, so that they too would better understand the rules of language grammar. Today's lesson: verbs.    …

How do we serve God? How do we Love Him? Both of these questions are based not on ourselves but, Him. We can only serve and Love Jesus based on His Love to us. The inspiration and even desire, comes all through His Love. However, we must be obedient to the leading of Holy Spirit. As we mature and grow in Him, this become more and more important. A daily Bible reading, a few moments of Prayer now and again will not satisfy us, the same as when we were young Christians. It is not for lack of…

This poem below has a beautiful message behind it - we all should appreciate the beauty of this world, especially in the small things. :)

With human minds we emotionally bind ourselves to things we cannot see. Hopelessly setting a course that will deprive us of the strings of peace that were given to you and me.

We often pass up rainbows, a spring shower, a sunset, or even just a smile. Yet in the name of prosperity and growth we'll go the extra mile.

God gave us the…

Dear Father, Thank You for the many promises that You have given us in the Bible. Thank You for watching over us and our children and grandchildren and giving us all long life. Lord, give me the grace to live my life in accordance with Your Word. Forgive me of my sins and keep me from temptation. Strengthen me to do things that please You. I want to be a blessing to others, so help me to be sensitive to those around me who might need my help and encouragement. Thank You for guiding me in…

ANANIAS OF DAMASCUS AN UNSUNG HERO

Good Day to you.

Keep in mind – “All Scripture is God-breathed,”¹ penned by “holy men of God,”² as we read James’ next shocking words—written to the Jewish converts he was teaching . . .…

If your residence has trees around the premises... each morning as you awaken, you probably hear the sound of cheerful chirping of birds. It's almost like our little feathered friends are saying, "Oh God! It's morning!! (Yay)......"

Not like many people.... who say, "Ohhh, God(moan)...it's mornnning(groan)...."

Some folks might say, "Well, the birds don't have the problems I have...... so why shouldn't they be happy"?

But most of us don't have to go out…
