Show and Tell
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. John 13:14 Jesus love is something of a mystery. We can strive to learn how to love like He loves, but we can never out love the Lord. Agape love “charity” is a love that is freely given.…
War and Peace
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. Ecclesiastes 3:8 This Sunday is Mother’s Day – a day when we honor our earthly Mothers. I was watching the news the other day and saw yet another school shooting in the US. It showed Mothers…
Do Not Lose Heart
Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. 2 Corinthians 4:1 Rest assured that when you do a work for the Lord adversity will come. It is easy to buckle under the pressures of life, and enemy schemes. You will want to quit many times, and may fall,…
The “F” Word
The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked. Proverbs 24:16 I love the “F” word. I used to hate it because it sounded awful coming out of my mouth, but it really is a very effective one when used properly. The word I’m talking about is “Failure.” Failure is a part of life and…
Keep your fork!
This day came ye out in the month Abib. And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou…

The Secret Place
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1 There are times when life is absolute chaos. Our natural human response to trouble is “fight or flight.” Face the issue or run from it. What we choose depends on the situation,…
Hook, Line, and Sinker
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. James 1:15 The expression “Hook, Line, and Sinker” was birthed in 1865. Literally it means the fish took not only the bait, but swallowed the hook, line, and sinker whole. If someone played a trick…
The rock and the hard place – the “but” in the valley.
And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines. And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them. 1 Samuel 17:2-3 The…
Working, Watering, Warning
According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 1 Corinthians 3:10 The Church (the body of Christ) is God’s design. Paul was used by God…
