Well, it’s been a red letter week! I am reminded of I Thess.5:18 “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Easy to type, hard to do! I mean, we all love to thank Him for safety, good health, good finances, souls saved, etc. But it’s …
Luke 11:40-4240 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:42 But one …
In just a few days, we’ll be heading northeast, toward HOME! Soon we’ll be going to Arkansas for a short visit during the annual camp meeting at Victory Baptist Church. My hometown, Benton, is growing and changing everyday. It is about 20 minutes from Little Rock, and it is fast becoming a suburb of of …
I remember the sweet spirit in our church. The song services seemed to fill our auditorium with an electricity that could be felt. Everyone singing out in unison, with smiles on their faces and a bounce in their step. I remember one particular night when I was about 14, standing there in our old orange-carpeted …
I’m going to share with you another of my many weaknesses. I sometimes worry about my health, and the health of my loved ones. It started after I got married, and then it became a lot worse after I had children. It increased greatly after my Dad went to Heaven, because loss suddenly became so …
If my husband has said it once, he’s said it a thousand times in the two years we’ve been pastoring here: “Christians need to read their Bible everyday.” As most of you know, I have a two 1/2 year old and a 10 month old, and I get very little sleep or time to myself …
I read today in Phil.4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Verse 12 says I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound… I think that is my biggest struggle: contentment. I believe we all struggle …
Ephesians 3:13- 2113 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of …
Well, I am a testimony that no matter how faithful you are to church, Bible reading and prayer, you still battle the flesh! Won’t Heaven be wonderful? No more sin, no pain, NO ALLERGIES!! I have had more trouble the last few days with my allergies than I’ve had in ages. I haven’t taken a …
In my devotions this morning I read a verse that struck a chord in my heart. “He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.” Proverbs 15:27 I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard various and sundry preachers complain because they don’t get gifts or …
