How many projects around your home lies unfinished? You lost the excitement and enthusiasm you had when the idea came to you and your energy and efforts to finish the task also vanished. In life it is so important to complete the task and to finish strong. Paul encourages us to stay strong and finish. […]
The lottery last week was the larger it has ever been. I am not sure if anyone won it, but, I saw on the news many who were trying to. One man was asked about winning the lottery of that size and he replied, It would be a life changer. I can hear people right […]
I would not want to see where I would be at this stage of my life if I had of had to depend on my own knowledge, strength, and effort to get me here. Can I get an AMEN! I am so glad that I have God on my side. I can look back and […]
I remember many years ago when my family started to church, that my mother was told things she could and could not do if she wanted to be part of the church. You had to look a certain way, act a certain way, and do certain things the church approved of to be a part […]
My devotion this morning really spoke to the heart of so many doom & gloom days. We live in the same environment and speak the same words about our situation until we begin to believe life is always going to be like it is now. The “Stalker” as pastor called him yesterday has us exactly […]
7-29-18 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY… TAKE ACTION!! START TODAY!! I’ve heard many people make this statement, If I weren’t too_____I would love to do _____. It is as if we have disqualified ourselves by being so entrenched in what and where we are now, we can’t do anything different. My devotion verse this morning says […]
I have gone on many weight reduction efforts throughout my life. It always seemed that I could do really good for the first few weeks, then the thought of food and eating came back on a regular basis. I had to fight to keep those thoughts away. I talked with a recovering cancer patient this […]
My devotion this morning comes from one of the shortest verses in the Bible and yet has one of the most powerful meaning to a Child of God. The verse instructs us to talk with God continually about everything we deal with in life. (1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray continually.) Partnerships are formed because two people […]
TO COMPLETION!! HE’S STILL WORKING!! I moved to my present residence 2 years ago. I started working on a yard that had only been mowed for several years, with no weed maintenance or fertilizing. It has come a long way, but the process is slower than I want it. I think it’s a great illustration […]
It seems so much easier to see faults in others than to see good. We could make a list of what we know is wrong with the world and the people around us. We’ve been and are being taught to do so by every news station we listen to. God says the way to show […]
7-24-18 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY… TAKE THE LEAD!! SHOW THE WAY!! Today’s devotional verse would change our world if we practice it daily. It would change the way we deal with others and how others deal with us. (Matthew 7:12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for […]
7-23-18 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY… BE THANKFUL!! YOU ARE BLESSED!! We closed yesterday’s service with a praise offering to God for all of His many blessings in our lives. If we are not careful careful, giving praise to God becomes a routine with little attention to the real details of His many blessings. It would […]
7-22-18 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY… ITS IMPORTANT!! DON’T STOP!! My devotion this morning was on Daniel. He worshipped God and he prayed three times a day. When he heard the document had been signed, he continued to pray three times a day and worship God. (Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel learned the decree had been […]
Grace is the power of the Holy Spirit helping us to do things that we are not able to do under our own strength. It is God’s power at work in our lives freely helping us do whatever we need to do. God’s grace is available 24/7, obtained by faith in God, and is the […]
I enjoyed speaking last Sunday in the morning service. You can see a lot in the faces of the congregation as you stand in front of them. There are people who seem to be on the edge of their seats waiting to hear every word you speak, and there are people who sit back like […]
I was listening to the conversation of some children and they were talking about one of their classmates being the teachers pet. Do you remember the days in school when that ONE person seemed to get to do everything and you didn’t get to do very much? There may have been times that the teachers […]
My devotion this morning really touched home with me. I can’t count the times in my life that I have said, “If I had ____ I would be a lot better off. Sometimes the blank would be if I had more money, I would be happy. Sometimes, if I had more help I would be […]
The joy of watching children is seeing them enjoy anything they do. They can imagine things to be what they are not. They can make believe themselves into any situation. They can become a king or queen, a movie star, a mother or dad, a school teacher and even a preacher, and they enjoy the […]
I don’t know of many people who don’t like to talk about the things they are going through in life. They love to tell you of all the aches and pains they deal with daily. They love to tell you the disappointments life has dealt them. They love to tell of the struggle they are […]
How many of us go from feeling great one day to feeling gloom and doom the next? How many people do you know that seem to be happy one day and the saddest person in the world the next? Emotions and feelings are ever-changing impulses of this natural, carnal nature. Emotions and feelings change without […]
One of my favorite questions to ask people when I meet them is “How is it going?” The answers I receive vary from it is going well, to you don’t want to know. A lot of people are not happy unless every day they live is like Christmas, birthday celebration, or a holiday from work. […]
How many times have you had someone say to you that you were just like your parents? Or have often has someone said that your children were just like you? Being like, or acting like someone, means that person has spent a lot of quality time with that influence in their lives. They may have […]
I am one who does not like to travel without knowing specific direction to my destination. GPS is a wonderful thing, the little lady tells you every turn you need to make. The problem with GPS is that if we are not careful we rely on hearing the directions as we drive and we don’t […]
We all the tendency to dread things that we are going to face in the future. I know many who have said they dread going back to work on Monday after enjoying this week of vacation. There is no reason for a child of God to dread anything ahead of them. God goes before us […]
The Bible says that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Our thoughts determine whether we sink below our troubles or elevate our selves above them. If we allow our minds to linger and ponder over the wrong thoughts long enough, the thoughts will turn into words and we will speak them […]
