Safe
Proverbs 29:25. The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. People often think they’re safe, when they are in extreme danger. Jeremiah 8:11 saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. We are in perilous times. Things can change overnight, spiritually, physically, politically and worldwide. […]
Threatening
Ephesians 6:9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with THREAT – a statement of an intention to inflict pain, injury, damage, or other hostile action on someone in retribution for something done or not done.“members of […]
Object Lessons
Exodus 9:14 For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that [there is] none like me in all the earth. Plagues are a good thing if they draw you to the Lord. Plagues are devastating if they […]
God is Now
Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. I AM (written in Hebrew is YHWH, a word so holy it is written without vowels so that mere humans can’t pronounce it) I […]

We should intentionally imitate Jesus as we are […]

No baptism, no communion, no confirmation, no speaking in tongues, no mission trip, no volunteerism, no financial gifts, and no […]

Today’s story is about Joseph. Winnie reminds me of Joseph. She just keeps pushing through all the trials and pains. The purpose of this weekly missive is things I learned this week (usually the hard way). on the mission field and in Christian life in general. None of ot is easy. My journaling (these writings) […]
Just Quit
Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. There are two ways to quit. A good way and a not so good way. Never quit God, serving Him, or living for Him. Early in my ministry, […]
Lists
‘Mary treasured all these things in her heart’ 12-23 Treasuring things (pondering thing) in your heart means you are making a list in your heart. When you ponder something, (treasuring it in your heart) you are unintentionally making a list that is indelible. People remember how you (or God) made them feel. You can’t […]
