Is Your Light Shining?

January 27, 2025

Have you ever had a flashlight that shines brightly because it has new batteries?

Then after a while it gets dimmer because the batteries are running out of power. Soon, no light shines at all. The batteries are totally out of power.

Is your Christian life like that? When you first got saved you told everyone about Jesus and your new life. Then things started to distract you and your light got dimmer.

After a while you no longer tell people about Jesus. You fear rejection or you are to busy. You have lost your power and your light is no longer shining brightly.

Confess your sin and ask forgiveness. Jesus wants to give you power of the Holy Spirit to shine for Him.

Gather Together In Church Today!

January 26, 2025

Sunday is special because it is a day when we can gather with family and friends in church.

God is always with us wherever we are but I believe He is pleased when we gather as a group to worship Him.

ALL Things Are Possible

January 23, 2025

Are you facing something that seems impossible? The Bible tells us that with God all things are possible.

Do you lack faith to believe it? Faith comes when we read the Bible. It is the Word of God. The more we read and study the scripture, the closer we get to God and our faith gets stronger.

All things are possible with God!

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17

Great Is God’s Faithfulness!

January 22, 2025

Do we deserve God’s mercy? NO!

We are all sinners, not seeking God. But, He has great love for us, He sent Jesus to die on the cross, be buried and 3 days later Jesus arose from the dead, to pay the penalty for our sin.

If we accept Jesus as our Savior, then GOD shows His mercy toward us and we are born again. 

Great is God’s faithfulness

God’s Creation!

January 21, 2025

To see God’s Glory, all we need to do is look up. The beauty of the moon and stars at night.

A sunrise or sunset. Even in the midst of winter and the snow is falling or a terrible rainstorm, God’s beauty still shines through.

Today, look up and see God’s Glory. Then thank Him for the day that He has made and rejoice in it.

What Are You Doing Today?

January 18, 2025

Saturday is a day that many of you have special plans. You may be going on a short weekend trip.

Saturday is a day of shopping or getting together with friends.

To some of us it is the day we clean the house and get prepared for the week ahead.

Whatever you do today there is one thing that all of us should do. Remember that Jesus loves us and goes with us wherever we go and whatever we do.

Have a wonderful Saturday and use this day to bring honor and glory to God wherever you go.

Are You Tired?

January 15, 2025

Wednesday, the middle of the week. Do you get tired of your job? The same routine. Maybe you are a young parent. Children are restless and you are tired of the responsibility and trying to keep them contented and happy.

Even Pastors, Teachers and people in ministry get tired and discouraged. Sometimes it feels like all this work is in vain.

The Bible has a verse for you. Do NOT be weary in well doing. You will reap if you don’t quit.

That job. You are a diligent worker. Your boss is watching and you get a promotion or a raise.

The children, they grow up to be successful and thankful for parents who encouraged them.

Christian worker, you will reap. People get saved, broken relationships are mended, prayers are answered. Best of all Jesus will say, “Well done.”

Today, do what you are doing with anticipation and dedication. You will reap if you faint not.

Time For Church!

January 12, 2025
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25

Now that all the festivities of Christmas and New Years are over it is time to get back to a regular routine.

The best way to start that routine every week is to be in church.

Many people for whatever reason have stopped going to church. They may watch it online or TV but to actually go seems to hard or to difficult.

Why is it important to go? God tells us to go in His Word. We need the spiritual strength of one another. In time of trouble we have no one to turn to if we do not have a Pastor that cares about us.

Today, decide to make church a priority.

What A Day To Rejoice!

January 11, 2025

In one of the worst times in my life, this verse and song got me through that difficult time.

I made a decision to find something to rejoice about, even if it was as small as being able to get out of bed and brush my hair or seeing a butterfly land on a flower.

God gave me things to be thankful for and He brought joy back into my life, one day at a time.

Today, as I look out my window and watch the sun rise, I rejoice in the day the Lord has made.

Join me in rejoicing

God Will Take Care Of You!

January 10, 2025
1 Peter 5:7

Be not dismayed whate’er betide
God will take care of you
Beneath His wings of love abide
God will take care of you

God will take care of you
Through every day, o’er all the way
He will take care of you
God will take care of you

No matter what may be the test
God will take care of you
Lean, weary one, upon His breast
God will take care of you

God will take care of you
Through every day, o’er all the way
He will take care of you
God will take care of you

He will take care of you
God will take care of you

This is an old hymn that’s words are true. God does take care of his children and he will take care of you if you have accepted Jesus as your savior.
