Are You Obedient To God?
January 17, 2025Your Words!
November 30, 2024
How you speak and what you speak is important! Are your words acceptable in God’s sight?
We need to be careful how we speak. It is easy to say the right things when everything is going well and we are surrounded by other Christians. But what about in the times of stress, anger, hurt feelings or another situation that is not pleasant.
Do we speak with anger or sharpness. Maybe we take out our frustration on spouse or children. That is not the way God wants us to react.
How can we overcome the sin of speaking out words that we know we shouldn’t say. This verse gives us the answer. The meditation of our heart.
Read God’s Word daily. Meditate on what He is telling us. Pray and ask God to guard our lips.
What we say and how we say it is important. Thankfully God is quick to forgive. Ask His forgiveness. Also, apologize to the person you may have hurt with your unkind words.
We Need To Pray!
September 17, 2024
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
We need to pray for our Country for unity. Whatever political party you identify with, you need to pray!
Unrest, violence and accusations are prevalent in the country now. We need peace.
Only God can calm and bring sanity back. We can help by praying and choosing the candidates who will honor God and the principles that are in the Bible.
It is important that we do not add to the current situation by repeating the media narratives that cause the unrest.
Then make sure you do your duty as a citizen and get out and vote in the upcoming election.
Draw Near To God!
August 25, 2024
There is an old hymn, written by Fannie Crosby, Draw Me Nearer.
1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Refrain:
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine. [Refrain]
3 Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend! [Refrain]
4 There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee. [Refrain]
We all need to get closer to God. Today, use this hymn as a prayer to our God and Savior, Jesus. Think about His sacrifice on the cross. His death, burial and resurrection. He did that for you and me.
Lord, draw me nearer to You today.
Friday Night In Ohio
August 24, 2024
A picture is worth 1000 words is an old saying. These pictures are so special.

What Some People Think Of Their Pastor!
August 18, 2024
On the TV program, “Family Feud” hosted by Steve Harvey, the question was ask of 100 people.
Family Feud: “Name someone you have to be nice to even though you don’t like them.”
Answer #5: “Pastor”
Steve Harvey: “How are you going to church and don’t like the Pastor?”
That is supposed to be funny, however, that is a very serious question for a believer.
In all seriousness, as your Pastor prays and prepares to stand in the gap to deliver the Word of God, I encourage you to pray for him, support him, and pray God does a mighty work through him!
Jeremiah 3:15 – And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Where Is Your Treasure?
August 8, 2024
That is a good question. Is your treasure in a bank? Stocks and bonds? Real estate? Gold or silver?
God does not say it is a sin to have these things but the question is do you live for them? Is your goal in life, I want more money, property or things?
God says, Love the Lord with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. Maybe you love yourself more than others.
Are you willing to share what you have to bless others. Someone less fortunate than you?
The greatest treasure you have is knowing Jesus as your Savior. Do you share Him with others by telling them about Jesus?
Today, the challenge is to ask yourself, “Where is my treasure?”
Where Do You Go To Learn About God?
August 2, 2024
In today’s world there are so many ways that people can go to learn about God.
Church, Radio, Television, Friends, Internet and many more. But, in all of these ways you could be getting false information about God.
How can we learn the truth? There is only one way. We must study the Bible ourselves. Only then can we discover whether we are getting the truth about who God is and have a relationship with Him.
There is nothing wrong in any of the ways you choose to learn more about God. Just be sure that what you are learning is true according to scripture.
Salt And Light
July 30, 2024
Matthew 5 is about being distinct in character. How a Christian is to be clearly different from this world, noticeably different in a good way. This particular teaching was coming from the mouth of Jesus Himself.
He not only said how we are to be distinct, but when we are, we are blessed with a true happiness & peace that only God gives.
Plus He tells what we would obtain for being distinct. We are called to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Christ urges us to be a good example.
I challenge you to read Matthew chapter 5 and be determined to be distinct in this world and watch for your blessings.
Matthew 5:13-16 (KJV) Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
The Greatest Commandment!
July 24, 2024
Put God first in everything you do. Jesus should be the love of your life.
Love Him with your heart. He should be the One you are longing to see. Spending time each day with Him. Reading His Word. Communicating with Him in prayer.
Jesus should be the One you think about. Sometimes we only think about Him when we have a need. We need to be thinking about Him and talking with Him in the glad times too.
Our soul is our inner self. The spiritual part that is separate from our physical body. Jesus is the only One that can fill that empty void that we have before we know Him as our Savior.
Question! Do you truly love God?
