Where Is Your Affection?

August 3, 2025

This is a great verse for today. When we go to church to worship, or are having our daily devotions, we are not concentrating on the message or what God is trying to tell us.

Instead, we are thinking about our problems, what needs to be done, or maybe about our plans for vacation, family fun or other activities that have nothing to do with Heavenly thoughts.

All of us have done this many times but we need to ask God to forgive us and help us to keep our thoughts centered on what God is telling us.

Set you affection (love) on things above, not on worldly things.

Therapy!

July 16, 2025

Have you ever had therapy for a broken bone or strained muscle? That can be painful but necessary for complete healing.

We sometimes need spiritual therapy. We have not been seeking God for the difficult time in our lives. We find ourselves blaming God for our trouble or difficulties.

What is the remedy for a broken spirit? God’s Word. Prayer. Repentance. Not just a little bit but every day consistently. Sometimes it hurts, but we need to keep on doing it.

God is faithful. Just as He heals a broken body, He also can heal a broken heart.

 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. Psalm 34:18

A Cure For Discouragement!

July 14, 2025

Thinking of something to encourage those who read this blog, I chose a book on hymns, “Then Sings My Soul” by Robert J. Morgan.
He wrote a forward “The Cure For Shot Nerves”. Thinking that is a catchy title, I read what he wrote about how the old hymns can calm the spirit and help bring peace to the soul.

It is rare in some churches to even hear the old hymns anymore and that is sad.
“In the Garden” He walks with me/ and He talks with me/ and tells me I am His own.
“Jesus Loves Me”, “Amazing Grace”, “I Need Thee Every Hour” and many more that encourage the heart.

Today, if you are stressed, feeling overwhelmed, or just plan discouraged, think of your favorite hymn and sing it, hum it or just let it flood your mind with how good God is, and soon you will find the comfort you need.

Texas Tragedy

July 9, 2025

Girls at a Christian Camp, families at home, groups camping, people doing ordinary things. Never expecting that this may be their last day. The last time to say I Love You to their spouse or child. A true tragedy. Please pray for the families who lost loved ones.

This is the time to stop and think. What about today? We could be going about our day and not know how our life could change in just a few minutes.

Are you ready? Have you anyone you need to forgive? Someone you need to tell them how much you love them? Most importantly, have you accepted Jesus as your Savior? This could be your last day.

For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2

Happy Independence Day!

July 4, 2025

May God continue to bless the USA. This can only happen if we as citizens put God first in our lives.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

God Provides!

June 27, 2025

The lights went out in the rehab center where Carolyn Curtis is recovering from surgery with a broken ankle.

The nurse came in to check on her but had no light to be able to take blood pressure and other things she needed.

The day before, a doctor came in to check Carolyn’s foot and did not realize he dropped his flashlight.

Carolyn found it in the folds of her blanket. It was put on the dresser so the doctor could come and get it, but he didn’t.

So, there it was for the nurse to use while the lights were off. Some people might say coincidence, but we know it was God’s provision.

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

The Book Of The Bible To Read For Wisdom!

May 21, 2025

Keeping in mind that all Scripture is given by the inspiration of God, the Book of Proverbs is designed to make us contemplate the fear of God and living by His wisdom. 

The word “proverb” means “to be like”. Proverbs is a book of comparisons between common, concrete images and life’s most profound truths. Proverbs are simple, moral statements or illustrations that highlight and teach fundamental realities about life. 

Take time to read the book of Proverbs in the Bible to gain wisdom in your relationship to God, yourself and to others.

Do You Need A Change In Your Life?

May 20, 2025

How can we change ourselves? We can be transformed. Everything we do starts in our mind. What we think about is how we act and what we do.

We can change by changing how we think. If we think worldly thoughts we will act worldly.

What do we put in our minds everyday? News, TV, social media, entertainment and other things that cloud our minds with distractions that can led us into sin.

We can stop how we think and be transformed by renewing what we put into our mind.

The best place to start is daily Bible reading and prayer. Then stop whatever we are listening to, reading or watching things that do not bring right thought into our mind. Will it be easy? No. Can it be done? Yes. Ask God to help us in think on good things.

Where Can We Find Truth?

April 30, 2025

With all the false things we see and hear in the media and other sources that may or may not be true, where can we go to find absolute truth?

God’s Word is truth. The one place you can go to be sure what God says in His Word is true. Proven through time.

The best thing we can be sure of is where we will spend eternity. Jesus is the way and the truth.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. John 14:6-7
