Then there was the time when I was at a party in Northern California and a long-time friend of my older brother stopped, made a point of looking down…

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

Embodying Hope and Giving Thanks and Praise to God

Introduction

Psalm 66: Today’s psalm celebrates the ways in which God challenges people to grow. It commemorates the Israelites’ liberation from slavery into freedom and abundance. Then it offers a model for worship, prayer and praise.

I praise God, because he did not reject my prayer or keep back…

Ever since God exhibited himself to us as a Father, we must be convicted of extreme ingratitude if we do not in turn exhibit ourselves as his sons.

Ever since Christ purified us by the laver of his blood, and communicated this purification by baptism, it would ill become us to be defiled with new pollution.

                                               GOD LOVES TO HEAR OUR VOICE

The other night while I rested peacefully in bed the Lord spoke to my spirit & this is what he said

I just want to tell you how much it means to me for you to say you love me…

Good Day~

“You Christians are all alike,” he derisively flung at me . . . “You are so narrow-minded, so arrogant--saying Jesus is the only way to God!”

Honestly, I hadn’t expected to be sparring with a skeptic that night; no, a different purpose had brought me face-to-face with this caustic fellow.  It was several years ago, and I had been asked to contact a local shopkeeper and young mother, who had just been diagnosed with stage-four breast cancer.  “Please Christine, can’t…

I asked Lord am I good enough for you;  I know what you've called me to do

But I'll ask you again is it true Lord am I good enough for you…
