An Unusual Sea Creature- Mimic Octopus

January 8, 2025

God has created many animals and sea creatures that we may never see in person. One of the unusual creatures is the mimic octopus. This octopus can change shape and color to appear to be an entirely different species.

Mimic octopuses have been observed mimicking numerous different species of animals, some animals being mimicked more often than others. Among the animals mimicked are lionfish (the octopus holds its arms out radially to mimic the fish’s spines), sea snake (hiding 6 of its arms, it holds the remaining 2 parallel to each other),[9]jellyfish(by inflating its mantle and trailing its arms behind it), and zebra sole (holding all 8 arms behind it as it uses its siphon to swim). The octopus’ mimicry of flatfish may be its preferred guise; a 2008 study showed that over a period of 5 days, nearly 500 instances of flatfish mimicry were seen by a single individual.

It reminds me of some people who mimic being a Christian. They go to church regularly, act spiritual, they may sing in church and even become church leaders. But, they have never truly accepted Jesus as their Savior.

If you are a mimic Christian, you can make a permanent change. Ask Jesus to be your Savior today.

2 Corinthians 5:17 – Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

God Has Done Great Things For You!

January 7, 2025

Think about all the wonderful things God has done for you.

When things are not going like we want, we tend to complain and get discouraged. That is the time to stop and remember how good God has been to you in the past. He promises to be with you and bring you through the rough times.

Keep serving the LORD and trust Him with the good things He is going to do for you.

The First Monday Of 2025!

January 6, 2025

The first Monday of the year. Now the Holidays are really over and reality sets in.

Perhaps you will be going work or school. Moms are getting children ready to get out the door. Spouses are leaving for their busy day.

Maybe a a retired person you are not looking forward to another week of loneliness and boredom.

Whatever your life is like this Monday, there is one thing that will get you through any situation. That is found in the Bible verse. Seek the LORD for His strength. Jesus is with you and will help you through every day in 2025 if you will look to Him for guidance.

Pray For Your Pastor!

January 5, 2025



1 Timothy 5:17 – Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine

Pastors are under attack today in every denomination. They are attacked from within their own church by disgruntled attendees and from without by those who don’t even attend or aren’t members of the church.

Some things you may not know about Pastors. Every Pastor has some of these problems.

  • 97% of pastors have been betrayed, falsely accused or hurt by their trusted friends.
  • 70% of pastors battle depression.
  • 7,000 churches close each year.
  • 1,500 pastors quit each month.
  • 10% will retire a pastor.
  • 80% of pastors feel discouraged.
  • 94% of pastors families feel the pressure of ministry.
  • 78% of pastors have no close friends.
  • 90% of pastors report working 55-75 hours per week.

Pray for your Pastor and do something to show your appreciation for him. Write a note, email or text him if you are fortunate enough to have his personal number.

God Will Forgive Our Sins

January 4, 2025

Intimacy with God requires a repentant heart. In His love, God says when we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to cleanse us. That cleansing restores our fellowship with Him.

God hates sin because He is Holy and Righteous. Sin is anything we have done that God has commanded us not to do.

All have sinned and come short. You can watch a small child only months old and already they are sinners. Selfishness and disobedience. They will be playing and grab a toy from another child, hit or bite. 

Jesus paid the penalty for all our sins if we by faith ask His forgiveness, repent of our sin and put our trust in Him

Do You Have Everlating Life?

January 3, 2025

Do you know for sure you will live forever with Jesus?

If not, right now invite Jesus to be your Savior.

How? Admit to Him you are a sinner.

Believe He died on the cross for you. He was buried and He rose from the dead. He paid the penalty for your sin on the cross.

Then, pray and ask Jesus to forgive your sin, come into your heart and be your Savior.

Start reading the Bible, it’s best to start in the New Testament.

Find a good church and start the New Year by attending faithfully.

Sound simple. It is. Jesus is waiting for you.

Christmas Is Over! Jesus Is Still Here!

January 2, 2025

Christmas is over, time to take down the beautiful decorations and keeping in our hearts the memories of Christmas 2024

It always makes me sad to put away those wonderful things that make Christmas special every year. As we put away the lights, tree, nativity sets, let us NOT put away the truth of Christmas, Jesus was born into this world to be our Savior, and it is our responsibility to tell others. So let us make a resolution to be better witnesses in 2025 and Serve Our Savior with more zeal than we ever had before.

Witnessing is a responsibility for every Christian. Tell someone about our wonderful Savior. In person is best. But, we can make phone calls, write notes and use social media to be a witness for the Lord. Be creative. 

Think of someone today who needs the Lord and pray for him or her, and then contact them. People need the Lord now more than ever.

Acts 26:22-23 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come. That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

2025, A New Year, New Beginnings

January 1, 2025

A New Year! Some people have resolutions. They are going to loose weight, budget their money, meet a goal that has been put off for a long time. Usually, our resolutions last a week, a month but soon they are forgotten and we fall back into our old ways.

There is someone who can help you with your new goals. his name is Jesus. Jesus wants a relationship with you. He will help you. Jesus cares about you, and loves you unconditionally.

So, today, January 1, 2025 let’s make a resolution that we can keep. Everyday will be a new day. Start each day with Jesus.

Some of us have a lot of time in the morning to read the Bible and pray. Many of us have busy chaotic mornings getting ready for work, children off to school, babies who demand attention.

It only takes a minute to breathe a quick prayer. As you get dressed for work, pray for your coworkers. Packing lunches, pray for your spouse and children.

Put a post note on your bathroom mirror with a favorite Bible verse. It isn’t the quantity of time, it is the quality. Jesus wants to walk with you and talk with you throughout your day.

Start your New Year with Jesus. That is one resolution that you cannot fail. Jesus never fails.

Isaiah 43:18&19 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”

A New Year, A Clean Heart

December 31, 2024


Many people will be celebrating New Year’s Eve tonight drinking, going to parties, etc., only to start the New Year with a headache and hangover. We can start our New Year with a clean heart. 

Christians take time this evening to pray for forgiveness for the unconfessed sins that we have committed. 

If you have never accepted Jesus as your Savior there is no better way to start a new year than becoming a new person in Christ. 

Happy New Year. May 2025 bring you and your loved ones peace and joy that only the Lord can give.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

A New Year Is Almost Here!

December 30, 2024

2024 is almost over. Just a few more days to reflect on this past year. Every year has both joy and sorrow. Maybe this year there was a new birth in your family, or you had a promotion on your job or moved into a new house. Think of the joy that you had this past year.

Then there may have been sorrow, a death in the family that has left a huge hole in your heart, or maybe you lost your job or your house is foreclosed.

Contrasts in life is a normal thing for man. The good news is that there is a new year coming that is like a blank canvas. God will bring some blessings and He may allow some sorrow, but it is always exciting to look forward to the new year and know that God will direct our path if we trust Him.

Proverbs 3:6
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.
